This is the **English member** of the `human-writer` per-language family. It operates in **three modes** (WRITE / CLEAN / AUDIT), in **one language** (en), across **four content-types** (marketing long-form / short-form comms / technical docs / editorial-SEO). ## When to use this skill Activate when the request involves **English** content and any of: - Writing a new piece of English prose that should not pattern-match as AI output - Rewriting an existing English AI draft to remove tells - Auditing an English draft for AI-detection risk before publication Do NOT activate for: - French content → use `human-writer-fr` - Spanish / Portuguese / German / Arabic / Hindi content → use the matching satellite (`human-writer-es`, `human-writer-pt`, `human-writer-de`, `human-writer-ar`, `human-writer-hi`) - Structural authoring of Apify Actor READMEs/schemas → use `apify-actor-content-writer` - SEO audit of a web project → use `audit-seo` - mcpmarket listing structure → use `mcpmarket-distribution` This skill is a **stylistic quality filter** applied on top of structure-producing skills. ## The human-writer family This is one of seven autonomous, mono-lingual skills built on the same architecture. Route by target language: - English → `human-writer-en` (this skill) - French → `human-writer-fr` - Spanish → `human-writer-es` · Brazilian Portuguese → `human-writer-pt` · German → `human-writer-de` · Arabic (RTL) → `human-writer-ar` · Hindi (Devanagari) → `human-writer-hi` Each ships its own native suspect-vocab, AI-construction regexes, and a script-adapted analyzer. Stay here for English. ## Routing ``` What does the user want? ├── Produce new content → MODE: WRITE ├── Transform an existing text → MODE: CLEAN ├── Diagnose / score without rewrite → MODE: AUDIT └── Unclear → Ask ONE question: "write, clean, or audit?" ``` After mode is set, identify (content-type, target length). The language is always `en`. If content-type is ambiguous, ask one question maximum. ## Load on demand Based on routing, load: | Trigger | Load | |---|---| | Any mode (always, language en) | `references/tells-stylistic-en.md` | | Any mode | `references/tells-statistical.md`, `references/tells-structural.md` | | WRITE or CLEAN | `references/humanization-techniques.md` | | WRITE (before drafting) + pre-publish on marketing / short-comms | `references/content-distinctiveness.md` | | Adapter by content-type | `references/adapter-marketing.md` OR `adapter-short-comms.md` OR `adapter-technical.md` OR `adapter-editorial-seo.md` | | AUDIT with `--external` requested | `references/external-detectors.md` | | Pre-publish self-check | `references/checklists.md` | ## URL fetch guardrail If the user provides a URL, fetch via `firecrawl_scrape` (with `onlyMainContent: true`), Tavily, or Exa. NEVER use `requests`/`httpx`/`puppeteer`/`curl` in any custom code. The `analyze.py` script accepts file or stdin only. ## Master checklist (all modes) Before delivering any text: 0. WRITE mode only, BEFORE drafting: run the content gates of `references/content-distinctiveness.md` (intent brief in 4 questions, no invented facts). At pre-publish, apply its substitutability test. The analyzer cannot catch average content, this gate is manual. 1. Run `scripts/analyze.py --input --lang en --type Y --format human` 2. If score ≤ 24 (LOW_RISK): deliver with the report. 3. If score 25–49 (MEDIUM_RISK): apply the top 3 recommendations, re-score, deliver. 4. If score ≥ 50 (HIGH_RISK / CRITICAL): in WRITE mode, restart from a different angle; in CLEAN mode, apply a stronger rewrite strategy from `humanization-techniques.md`. Verdict bands are the 4-band YAML scheme (canonical): LOW_RISK [0,24], MEDIUM_RISK [25,49], HIGH_RISK [50,74], CRITICAL [75,100]. A score of 24 is LOW; 25 is MEDIUM; 75+ is CRITICAL. ## Anti-patterns (rejected by this skill) - Bullets where every item starts with the same verb - Em-dashes "—" (U+2014) > 1 per 1000 words in body prose; English's single typographic tell, target 0 - Tricolons ("X, Y, and Z") more than once per 200 words - Vocabulary from the suspect list (see `tells-stylistic-en.md`): "delve", "seamless", "robust", "leverage", "transformative", "harness", "unlock", "cutting-edge", "in today's fast-paced world" - AI constructions: "It's not just X, it's Y", "Whether you're a startup or an enterprise", "Imagine a world where", "Gone are the days" - Header pyramids (H2 → 3× H3 systematically) - Conclusions that begin with "In conclusion", "Ultimately", "All in all", "To summarize" - **Substitutable content**: a piece a direct competitor could publish unchanged. Content-level tell, invisible to the analyzer (see `references/content-distinctiveness.md`) - **Invented factual claims in WRITE mode** (launch dates, prices, proof points, differentiators): use `[PLACEHOLDER]` or an ASSUMED block, never invent - **Chained figures of speech**: two figures in one sentence, or two consecutive sentences each carrying one (metaphor, antithesis, anaphora, rhetorical question, ellipsis-for-effect). Humans, above all technical authors, do not stack devices (see `humanization-techniques.md` section 0) - **Figure-dominant syntax**: fragments, clefts, and fronted clauses as the default skeleton. The base register is the plain subject-verb-complement declarative, variance comes from sentence length ## See also - `human-writer-fr` — French member of the family. - Sibling satellites: `human-writer-es`, `human-writer-pt`, `human-writer-de`, `human-writer-ar`, `human-writer-hi`.
