Does it change the formatting of my text?

Yes, it enforces natural formatting like straight quotes, sentence-case headers, and prefers prose over excessive bulleted lists to make the text look more hand-written.

Can I use this for technical documentation?

Yes, it is ideal for technical writing as it encourages specific, information-dense content and discourages vague marketing 'fluff' or 'impactful' adjectives.

What words does this skill help avoid?

It targets common AI tells such as 'delve', 'leverage', 'tapestry', 'pivotal', and 'groundbreaking', replacing them with simpler, more effective verbs like 'use' or 'helps'.

About

The Not-AI skill is designed to strip away the clinical, repetitive, and hyperbolic traits common in AI-generated content. It systematically identifies 'puffery' words, repetitive sentence structures, and characteristic punctuation marks—like em dashes and curly quotes—that signal machine-written text. By enforcing concrete details, information density, and a conversational 'over coffee' tone, this skill helps users transform generic output into authoritative, natural prose suitable for documentation, blogs, and professional communication.
