## What this is
|
|
|
|
AI writing has patterns. Predictable phrases, structures, rhythms. This skill teaches Claude (or any LLM) to catch and remove them.

## Quick start
|
|
|
|
**Claude Code:** Add this folder as a skill.
|
|
|
|
**Claude Projects:** Upload `SKILL.md` and reference files to project knowledge.
|
|
|
|
**Custom instructions:** Copy core rules from `SKILL.md`.
|
|
|
|
**API calls:** Include `SKILL.md` in your system prompt. Reference files load on demand.
|
|
|
|
## What it catches
|
|
|
|
**Banned phrases** - Throat-clearing openers, emphasis crutches, business jargon, all adverbs, vague declaratives, meta-commentary. See `references/phrases.md`.
|
|
|
|
**Structural clichés** - Binary contrasts, negative listings, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups, false agency, narrator-from-a-distance voice, passive voice. See `references/structures.md`.
|
|
|
|
**Sentence-level rules** - No Wh- sentence starters, no em dashes, no staccato fragmentation, no lazy extremes, active voice required.
|
|
