How does the Copy Editor skill humanize text?

It follows Wikipedia's AI Cleanup guidelines to remove clichés, vary sentence length, inject personality, and replace robotic punctuation with natural flows.

What are AI writing patterns?

AI patterns, often called 'slop,' include overused words like 'delve' or 'vibrant,' repetitive sentence structures, and a lack of specific personal perspective or rhythm.

Will this skill change the meaning of my content?

No, the skill is explicitly instructed to preserve the core message and meaning while focusing purely on improving the voice, tone, and word choice.

Can I use this for technical documentation?

Yes, it is highly effective for READMEs, PRDs, and technical specs where clarity and human readability are more important than AI-generated filler.

Why does it remove em-dashes?

Excessive use of em-dashes is a common statistical 'tell' for AI-generated text; replacing them with commas or periods makes the writing feel more authentic.
