Individual skill

remove-ai-patterns

Remove AI-writing patterns ("AI-isms") from text using the avoid-ai-writing catalog (conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing). Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to remove AI patterns / AI-isms, "make this sound less like AI", "de-AI this text", or invokes remove-ai-patterns by name. Supports detect-only audit, edit-in-place, voice profiles (casual / professional / technical / warm / blunt), and iterate-to-convergence. NOT for clarity/composition rules or formal technical-prose polish — use agent-style for that. Do not auto-trigger for ordinary writing or editing tasks.

# remove-ai-patterns

Thin wrapper around Conor Bronsdon's `avoid-ai-writing` skill (MIT
licensed). A pinned snapshot of the upstream catalog and detector is
vendored at `upstream/` inside this skill directory (commit recorded in
`upstream/UPSTREAM-PIN`), so the skill works offline and deterministically.

## How to run

1. Read `upstream/SKILL.md` (the full pattern catalog, tiered word lists, and
   mode definitions) and follow it. It defines the modes: detect-only,
   edit-in-place for files, optional voice profile, and an
   iterate-to-convergence pass.
2. For a deterministic, machine-checkable audit, run the bundled detector
