How to use AI Writing Detox in your AI agent

What you'll get

This skill helps you eliminate the telltale signs of AI-generated text—words like 'delve' and 'leverage,' throat-clearing phrases, corporate buzzwords, and inflated claims. It's built for anyone who uses AI to draft content but needs the final piece to sound natural and credible. Use it on articles, press releases, reports, social posts, or any text where AI patterns would undermine trust.

Step 3 — Try these prompts

Once the skill is installed, ask your AI things like:

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

What this skill does

• 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
