Detection Rules — Chinese (ZH)
Level 1: Must Remove — Structural Tics
「不是……而是……」句式 GPT-5.4 abuses this to manufacture faux cognitive contrast. Rewrite as direct statement.
❌ "能把她拉出来的不是道理，而是一个能让情绪重新对上的节拍"
✅ "节拍和旋律——而非道理——才能把她拉出来" (or just state B directly)
Rule: When the "negated A" is not a real viewpoint anyone holds, delete the negation and state B directly.
「把」字句泛滥 GPT-5.4 overuses 把-construction far beyond natural Chinese frequency.
❌ "GPT 把把字句使用得很多"
✅ "GPT 高频使用把字句"
结尾主动推销 Never end with unsolicited offers for follow-up.
❌ "如果你需要，我可以……" / "需要我……吗？" / "下一步，我可以……" / "只要你回复我"
✅ [Just stop. No trailing offer.]
Level 2: Must Remove — Filler Phrases

Workflow
Mode A: Clean Existing Document
- Read the target file(s)
- Scan line by line against all detection rules above
- For each hit: report the tic, category, and suggested fix
- Apply fixes (Edit tool) — one category at a time, starting from Level 1 structural tics
- After all fixes: re-read the document, verify no new tics introduced, report before/after stats
Mode B: Create New Document (Proactive)
- When user asks to create a doc, apply all rules above during composition
- Before writing each section, mentally check against the tic list
- After writing: run a self-scan pass (Mode A step 2-4)
- Report: "Written with GPT-isms stamped out. [N] tics avoided."
Reporting
After cleanup, report:
GPT-isms stamped out: [N] tics removed
- Structural (不是…而是…): [N]
- Filler phrases: [N]
- Sycophancy: [N]
- Corporate jargon: [N]
- Vocabulary: [N]
- Other: [N]
Edge Cases
- Quoted text: Do not modify content inside blockquotes or verbatim quotes — those belong to the quoted source
- Code blocks: Never modify content inside code fences
- Deliberate style: If user explicitly wants a specific tic pattern kept (e.g., marketing copy using "赋能"), respect it
- Mixed language docs: Apply both ZH and EN rules; prioritize the primary language of each section
