# de-ai-flavor
Strip AI tone out of a piece of writing and rewrite it so it sounds like the author actually wrote it.
This skill **does not invent voice**. It needs a personal style profile to rewrite against. The profile lives in a Markdown file the user maintains. The skill reads the profile, then applies a fixed checklist.
## When to use
- User hands over a draft and asks to remove AI tone
- User says: "polish this", "less AI please", "make it sound like me", "rewrite this in my voice"
- After generating any public-facing post / tweet / blog Markdown — run it automatically before finalizing
## When NOT to use
- README files, technical docs, code comments — these can stay formal
- Drafts that don't have full logic yet (write first, de-AI later)
- Code itself
## Setup: the style profile
Before first use, the user must create a personal style profile. Default expected location:
```
~/.claude/projects/<project-slug>/memory/writing_style.md
```
If the file is missing, the skill should ask the user where their style profile lives, or help them bootstrap one from 3–5 of their best existing pieces.
A good style profile defines:
1. Narrative structure (does the author open with a scene? a number? a feeling?)
2. Sentence rhythm (long-short alternation? short sentences as standalone paragraphs?)
3. Tone (self-deprecating? hesitant? colloquial words to keep?)
4. Conclusion style (do they end on a quiet beat or a punchline?)
5. AI markers to ban (transition words, symmetric
