Very cool, thanks for this! Looks super useful for all kinds of copy.. Wonder if it also defeats text watermarking.

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

ISO 24495-1 is the way for technical writing.

Curious how this is different from simple english [0][1]. I've tested that one across multiple harnesses, and it works pretty well. [0] https://github.com/AminBlg/SimpleEnglish [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49114639

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.

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.

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

You can't SKILL.md your way to a soul.

I find 79% to be the sweet spot.

> Karpathy talks about readability, not about sounding human. This skill adds that part, because the two methods cover each other's gaps. I guess the author forgot to use his own skill.
