    This is a de-AI-izer, not a "humanizer". It removes AI tics, it doesn't add human voice.

    This tool appears primarily designed to produce text that's clearer and more concise, not to produce text that fools someone into thinking a human wrote it.

    Curious how this is different from simple english [0][1]. I've tested that one across multiple harnesses, and it works pretty well.

    wow even just asking it for 80% of the way to ASD-STE100 makes a huge difference in readability. I'm experiencing way less brain fog trying to read opus.

    Very cool, thanks for this! Looks super useful for all kinds of copy..

    Wonder if it also defeats text watermarking.

    ISO 24495-1 is the way for technical writing.

    Maybe instead of using this, one should just have some pride and learn to write properly, instead of relying on a machine for everything.

    Am I crazy or I can't even find the SKILL.md

        Am I crazy or does the skill itself look like slop, complete with disclaimers back to the user embedded into the skill file itself?

        "A warning about the original post. It came with an overview graphic of STE. A later fact check found errors in that graphic. For example, "approximately" is an approved word, and the dictionary has no entry for "in order to". This skill follows the rules of Issue 9, not the graphic."

          Yes it absolutely is slop, full of AI tells. Why do we need all this ridiculous ceremony for a text file of instructions anyway?

          If I want to control how it writes I just put a style_guide.md in the context.

        Why does a SKILL.md include “sources and credits”? The entire thing is pure slop.
