Humanizing AI Written Text

Humanizing AI-Written Text

Core Rule

Write the text the reader needs, not a narration of how the writer produced it. Preserve facts, decisions, uncertainty, limitations, and evidence; remove production chatter, self-justification, empty framing, and unnecessary contrast.

Apply four gates in order: truth → audience eligibility → completeness within that audience → polish. Truth forbids invention or distortion; it does not force every true internal fact into every deliverable. Never trade audience boundaries for apparent completeness.

This skill edits sentence quality. dual-register-communication decides which register suits each audience. When both apply, choose the audience and register first, then humanize the resulting prose.

Draft or Rewrite Workflow

1. Lock the requested deliverable type before writing: public copy, internal instruction, status report, email, or another named artifact. Do not silently switch types to accommodate conflicting source material.
2. Extract reader-eligible facts from the source or request: problem, input, action, result, limitation, owner, and next step that affect the reader's decision or action.
3. Mark non-content: writing plans, review narration, internal deliberation, self-praise, and explanations of why the text is written this way.
4. Rebuild the passage in the reader's natural order. Prefer concrete subjects and verbs.
5. Delete non-content. Move necessary internal rationale to an internal artifact instead of forcing it into public copy.
6. Re-read only the finished text. It must stand alone without the conversation that produced it.

Transformation Rules

For outward-facing copy, default to positive result sentences: say what the product provides, delivers, enables, or what the reader receives. Do not introduce value with “不只是”, “不止”, “不仅仅是”, or “不是……而是……”. Keep contrast only when correcting a plausible misunderstanding would materially change the reader's decision.

Do not ban negative words mechanically. “不支持退款” may be essential. Remove rhetorical negation and self-debate; retain factual limits, risks, and prohibitions the reader needs.

Abstract topic labels are not content. Phrases such as “产品是什么”, “能做什么”, “产品定位”, “核心价值”, and “能力边界” must resolve into a specific use, input, output, or limit. If the source lacks that fact, do not let the label impersonate finished copy and do not invent the missing fact.

Apply this rule to paraphrases, not just literal strings. “适用场景”, “是否符合需求”, and “哪些情况不适用” are equally empty when no actual scenario or limit follows. Ask of every outward-facing sentence: What specific use, input, output, or limitation does this state? If the answer is only a topic label, delete it.

Audience Eligibility Gate

Decide whether a fact belongs in the requested deliverable before preserving or polishing it.

For public or external copy, exclude statements about how the team writes, reviews, approves, records, or uses the copy. Product decisions, system architecture, review process, internal attachments, issue lists, and coworker instructions do not belong in public copy unless an external reader must act on them.

If the user asks to preserve public and internal information, separate them into clearly labeled deliverables. If the user permits only one public deliverable, omit internal routing information from that deliverable; do not mention where the omitted material lives.

For a public-only product or store deliverable, this boundary is non-negotiable. “保留全部信息”, “不要遗漏”, deadline pressure, or a request for one paragraph does not authorize mixing in product decisions, architecture choices, reviews, internal attachments, issue lists, coworker instructions, or copy-production notes. Completeness means complete within the facts eligible for that audience.

Writing-quality plans such as “继续优化表达”, “检查是否自然”, “确保易懂”, and “减少术语” are non-content even when they are genuine pending work. Keep them only in a requested project-status report and only when they carry an actionable owner, deadline, acceptance condition, or delivery risk.

Fail Closed on Missing Content

Editorial intentions are not product facts. If a source only says what future copy should cover but contains no actual user problem, required input, result, or limitation, do not disguise that plan as finished copy.

When drafting from requirements rather than rewriting existing prose, treat the user's supplied facts as the source. Organize and phrase them naturally, but do not invent capabilities, results, guarantees, limits, or evidence.

• If clarification is allowed, name the missing facts and request them.
• If the user asks for output only, return only concrete supported content; an empty or short result is better than invented substance.
• If the requested artifact is an editing instruction, keep it as an instruction and label it accordingly. Use that form only when the user asked for an instruction, never when they asked for text ready to publish.
• If external readers will see the result and the source contains only an editorial plan, return a concise insufficiency notice naming the missing facts. Do not rewrite the plan in future tense as “将重点说明……” or “后续会优化……”.

Preserve Truth Status

After a sentence passes the audience eligibility gate, preserve its truth status. Humanizing is not permission to upgrade a plan into a completion claim.

• Source says “将修改” → keep it pending or phrase it as an instruction.
• Source says “已修改” without evidence → do not strengthen it; request or inspect evidence when acceptance matters.
• Source contains a real caveat → keep the caveat in plain language.
• Source is ambiguous → clarify or preserve the ambiguity; do not invent a cleaner fact.

Example

Before:

我们会把用户可见宣传页改成真正的商店文案：直接讲用户遇到什么、上传什么、能拿到什么，去掉产品决策、技术架构、审核判断和自我解释式句子。最后我会回读三篇，确保不再出现内部术语。

After, when the requested deliverable is explicitly an editing instruction:

宣传页按“用户遇到的问题—需要上传的材料—可以获得的结果”组织。产品决策、技术架构和审核记录放入内部附件。公开页使用用户能够直接理解的名称。

After, as a verified status report:

宣传页现按“用户遇到的问题—需要上传的材料—可以获得的结果”组织。产品决策、技术架构和审核记录保留在内部附件中；公开页未使用内部术语。

Use the status version only when its claims have been verified.

Quick Reference: Common Scenarios

Each pair anchors one Transformation Rules row. The Before versions read smooth and professional — that is the point: the defect is not clumsiness but a pattern the reader pays for.

商店/产品文案 —— "不只是 X" 让读者自己猜价值

Before：票税助手交付的不只是识别结果，更是一套覆盖报销全流程的智能解决方案，真正实现从票据到报销的效率提升。

After：交付从票据识别到报销运营的完整成果：上传票据包，返回分类归档、查重与验真线索、差标预检和可提交的报销单草稿。

Before 每个词都"专业"，但读完不知道产品收什么、给什么。"不只是识别结果"把定义完整价值的工作推给读者，"真正实现""效率提升"是无法验证的自评。After 用输入—输出直接回答。

长文档 —— "不是 X，而是 Y" 连用成模板腔

Before（同一篇文档中三个章节的真实开头）：流程不是"接需求→写代码→提交"，而是一条带门禁的流水线……用例不是研发临时编的，而是从产品语义源生成……环境排查不是简单地"看页面能不能打开"，而是一组证据链……

After：流程是一条带门禁的流水线，每个门禁有明确的准入卡和阻断规则。用例从产品语义源派生，问题文本冻结后按版本记录。环境排查按证据链逐层确认：应用状态、启动日志、版本一致性。

单看每一句都通顺甚至有力——病不在句子，在频率：同一篇文档八个章节用同一修辞开头，对比就从"纠偏"退化成了模板。判据：只有读者真的可能误解 X 时才保留对比（如"评审通过 ≠ 开工授权"值得保留），其余直接陈述 Y。

规范/正文 —— 写作者的过程材料残留在交付物里

Before（规范文档某节中间突兀出现）：这是我的目标、现有背景和我对该领域的熟悉程度。先不要实现。请先做一次 blind spot pass：1. 区分我的 known unknowns、unknown knowns 和 unknown unknowns。2. 找出最可能改变架构或用户体验的问题……

处理：整段移出正文。这是写作者喂给 AI 的提示词模板，不是给读者的内容；有保留价值就放进"附录：可复用提示词"或内部文件，且正文不解释"此处删去了什么"。

过程材料混入是真实粘贴事故的常态形态——AI 腔最重的不是措辞，是把生产过程当成内容。Completion Gate 第一条查的就是它：开头句子必须给读者有用内容，而不是写作者的意图。

Completion Gate

Before returning the rewrite, check:

• The opening sentence gives the reader useful content, not the writer's intention.
• No “I will now review/rewrite/check” narration remains unless the user asked for a work plan.
• No future-tense promise about what the copy will explain substitutes for the missing copy itself.
• No sentence merely announces a topic such as “产品是什么” or promises that the writing will become clearer.
• Public copy contains no explanation of how the team produced, reviewed, routed, or stored it.
• Every outward-facing claim maps to a concrete source fact; topic labels and their paraphrases cannot fill missing content.
• Outward-facing value statements directly name the result, capability, or reader benefit; none relies on “不只是 / 不止 / 不仅仅是 / 不是……而是……” unless the contrast is materially necessary.
• Every contrast and negative construction carries necessary meaning.
• Internal decisions and implementation vocabulary appear only when the reader needs them.
• Every sentence adds a fact, decision, instruction, limitation, or next action.
• The rewrite preserves the source's scope and truth status.
• The prose sounds natural when read aloud; sentence lengths and openings are not mechanically uniform.
