Keep `SKILL.md` with `references/patterns.md`: the entry file loads the catalog before auditing. The bundled `scripts/`, `detector/`, and `examples/` provide optional mechanical verification.\n\nFor a single-file rules field, use [`dist/avoid-ai-writing.md`](./dist/avoid-ai-writing.md). It includes every rule and profile, with manual fallbacks for commands unavailable outside the bundle. Do not copy the slim entry file alone. Older installers that fetch only root `SKILL.md` omit its required reference; use a directory install instead.\n\n---\n\n### Claude Cowork — install as a plugin\n\n[Cowork](https://claude.com/product/cowork) loads skills only from **installed plugins** — it doesn't scan `~/.claude/skills/`, so a bare clone (the Claude Code steps above) won't be discovered there. This repo doubles as a single-plugin [marketplace](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugin-marketplaces), so install it as a plugin instead:\n\n```bash\n/plugin marketplace add conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing\n/plugin install avoid-ai-writing@conorbronsdon-skills\n/reload-plugins   # or restart the session, to activate the skill\n```\n\nIn the Cowork desktop app, do the same from **Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace from GitHub** (`conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing`), then install **avoid-ai-writing**. The skill auto-triggers from phrases like \"remove AI-isms.\" New releases arrive when the plugin's version is bumped — run `/plugin marketplace update` to pull them.\n\nThe same plugin install works in Claude Code if you'd rather have a versioned, updatable plugin than the file clone above.\n\n> Prefer not to install a plugin? Copy `dist/avoid-ai-writing.md` into a folder connected to your Cowork session and tell the agent to follow `./avoid-ai-writing.md` — works as a one-off, no auto-trigger.","github_created_at":"2026-03-06T07:47:40+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-11T11:58:56.846347+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-20T06:55:47.187101+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"ai-agents","name":"AI Agents","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/ai-agents","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/ai-agents.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/ai-agents"},{"slug":"evaluation-observability","name":"Evaluation & Observability","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/evaluation-observability","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/evaluation-observability.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/evaluation-observability"}],"tags":[{"slug":"ai-writing","name":"ai-writing"},{"slug":"claude-code","name":"claude-code"},{"slug":"llm","name":"llm"},{"slug":"prompt-engineering","name":"prompt-engineering"}],"trust":{"provenance":{"is_fork":false,"github_id":1174224707,"owner_type":"User","methodology":"github_public_v1","parent_repo":null,"near_duplicate_slugs":[]},"computed_at":"2026-09-20T06:55:45.161Z","maintenance":{"label":"Very active","score":96,"methodology":"github_public_v1","releases_90d":28,"days_since_push":0,"last_release_at":"2026-09-14T04:30:45Z","stars_delta_30d":1891,"open_issues_delta_30d":47},"security_summary":{"status":"no_lockfile","scanner":null,"low_count":0,"high_count":0,"last_scan_at":"2026-07-11T11:58:58.242Z","medium_count":0,"scan_profile":"none","critical_count":0}},"capability_facts":{"mcp":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-20T06:55:46.189Z","server_manifest":false},"scan":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-20T06:55:46.189Z"},"has_cli":{"value":true,"source":"package.json:bin|scripts","observed_at":"2026-09-20T06:55:46.189Z"},"languages":{"value":["javascript"],"source":"github.language+package.json","observed_at":"2026-09-20T06:55:46.189Z"},"license_spdx":{"value":"MIT","source":"github.license","observed_at":"2026-09-20T06:55:46.189Z"}},"decision_facts":{"hosting":null,"pricing":null,"requirements":{"min_ram_gb":null,"requires_docker":false},"constraints":{"min_ram_gb":null,"requires_docker":false},"when_to_use":["If you need to modify outputs specifically from agents such as Claude Code, OpenClaw, or Hermes to remove detectable AI writing signatures.","For projects requiring integration exclusively with JavaScript-based environments where rewriting AI-generated content to sound more human-like is necessary."],"when_not_to_use":["When working in a non-JavaScript environment since avoid-ai-writing requires JavaScript for operation.","If your project does not involve the specific agents mentioned, as this tool's optimization might be less effective or unnecessary on outputs from other AI writing platforms."],"source":"enrich:decision_facts","observed_at":"2026-07-17T11:44:53.116Z"},"constraint_facets":{"min_ram_gb":null,"requires_docker":false},"decision_summary":[{"label":"Adopt for","value":"avoid-ai-writing is a JavaScript tool aimed at auditing and rewriting content to eliminate AI writing patterns for agents like Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes."},{"label":"License detail","value":"MIT"}]}}
