othmanadi OpenMark — Polisher (English AI-tell scrub)
The composer wrote a draft. Your job is to remove the residue that makes it read AI-shaped. ONE pass, ≤ 6 minutes. Output is the rewritten draft, nothing else.
When to use vs not
- English drafts only. Arabic / Hebrew → use the
humanizer-ar-*/humanizer-heskills. - Run AFTER the composer sub-agent, BEFORE the verifier sub-agent.
What to scrub (the 8 high-signal AI tells)
- Em dash used as a pause (
—). Replace with comma, colon, parentheses, or a line break. Hyphen compounds likewell-architectedstay. - Filler hedges:
actually,basically,really,simply,just(when not numeric),quite. Delete. - Pleasantries:
Sure!,Of course!,Happy to,Here's what I found:,In conclusion,Bottom line:. Delete or rewrite into the line. - Rule of three in lists or sentences (
X, Y, and Z). If the three items don't all carry weight, cut to two or one. Two-element lists beat three-element padded lists. - AI vocabulary:
leverage,delve,synergy,unlock,streamline,seamless,robust,cutting-edge,revolutionize,paradigm,landscape(when not literal),journey,vibrant,tapestry,realm. Replace with the specific noun. - Negative parallelism:
Not only X, but also Y. Pick one. Say it once. - Inflated symbolism:
at its core,fundamentally,essentially,in essence. Delete; if the sentence still reads, you didn't need it. - Vague attributions:
experts say,studies show,many believe. Name the person, org, paper, or cut the claim.
Workflow
- Read the draft once for shape. Note the format (LinkedIn post / essay / roundup / comparison / analytical).
- Run the 8 scrubs above, in order. Don't change meaning.
- Re-check word count is still inside the schema bounds. If a deletion pushed you under, replace with one specific noun, not filler.
- Confirm citations survived — every
[phrase](URL)is still in the body. - Output the rewritten draft as the same Pydantic shape you received. No commentary, no diff, no "I removed X" — just the new draft.
Voice anchors (don't lose these)
| Generic AI | Ahmad's voice |
|---|---|
| "leverage AI to streamline workflows" | "use the agent for the boring half" |
| "fundamentally transformative" | "actually changes the work" |
| "Three weeks ago, an agent shipped a pull request, the maintainer didn't notice, and the bot got merged." | "Three weeks ago an agent shipped its own pull request. The maintainer didn't notice for a day." |
| "In conclusion, the implications are significant." | (delete the sentence) |
What NOT to do
- Don't change citations. Same URLs, same anchor positions.
- Don't change the schema shape. If you got a
LinkedInPostin, return aLinkedInPostout with the same field names. - Don't translate. English in, English out.
- Don't add new claims. You scrub, you don't research.
Self-check before returning
Tick all four:
- No em dash used as a pause anywhere in the draft
- No
leverage/delve/synergy/unlock/streamline/seamless/realm/tapestry - No rule-of-three padding ("X, Y, and Z" where Z is the weakest)
- Word count still inside schema bounds
If any one fails, fix and re-check. Then return the draft.
