Doc Co-Authoring Workflow vs AI Writing Detox — Which AI Skill Should You Use?

The short version

By Anthropic

A structured process to write great documentation, proposals, and specs with AI.

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Strip AI-sounding phrases and jargon from your writing to make it sound human and trustworthy.

Asks clarifying questions to gather all the context you have about the project or decision
Helps you build each section by brainstorming options, then refining what you keep
Tests your finished document with a fresh AI (no prior context) to find confusing parts
Pulls in context from Slack, Google Drive, or other tools if you have them connected
Creates a structured scaffold for your document type with all the right sections

Flags and suggests replacements for AI signature words like 'delve', 'robust', 'leverage', and 'tapestry'
Identifies empty phrases and throat-clearing ('It's important to note that...', 'In today's landscape...') and removes them
Catches corporate jargon, hedges, and hyperbolic claims that make writing sound generic
Enforces sentence case for headings and simpler sentence structures
Runs a verbal tic test to ensure your writing sounds like something you'd actually say

You're writing a product spec, proposal, or decision doc and want it to be clear
You have a lot of context in your head but need help organizing it into a document
You want to make sure your document works for readers who don't have your background
You're starting a substantial writing task and want a structured process instead of a blank page

You've drafted content with AI help and need to make it sound like a real person wrote it
You're publishing journalism, press releases, or reports where credibility matters
You're reviewing any text before it goes live and want to catch AI tells
You need to strip jargon and buzzwords from corporate or marketing copy
