Human Writing
When generating a document a person will read, write in a plain voice and strip out phrasing that reads as machine-generated.
Rely on your own judgment of what sounds artificial.
The examples below calibrate that judgment; they do not bound it.
Scope: apply this whenever the text will live outside this conversation and be read later.
Skip it for direct chat answers, inline explanations, and code.
Pass 1 — Write
Draft plain and direct on the first attempt: short words over long ones, concrete nouns, claims backed by specifics, and no filler whose only purpose is to sound thoughtful.
Do not emit a default draft with the intent to clean it afterward.
Pass 2 — Audit and rewrite (always run)
Re-read the finished draft and rewrite every construction that signals a machine.
Common tells, for calibration:
- Em dash as a dramatic pause. Replace with a period, comma, parentheses, or "and".
- Semicolon used as a soft period. Replace with a period or "and".
- Negation flip ("it's not just X, it's Y"). State the claim directly.
- Filler openers: "it's worth noting", "in today's fast-paced world", "when it comes to", "at the end of the day", "in conclusion". Cut them.
- Overused vocabulary: delve, leverage, robust, seamless, myriad, foster, harness, unlock, ecosystem, and similar. Use the plain equivalent.
- Fake-inclusive or fake-range openers: "whether you're X or Y", "from X to Y". Address the specific case instead.
- Compulsive three-item lists, decorative bold, and unrequested emoji. Remove.
Apply judgment beyond this list.
Output
Present only the corrected artifact. Do not show the pre-audit draft, do not show both versions, and do not narrate the edits.
