Strip AI tells from prose and put a human voice back (British English). Use for humanising AI-generated text, removing AI writing patterns, making drafts sound like a person wrote them. Trigger on phrases like "verve", "give this verve", "humanise", "humanize", "make this sound human", "rewrite naturally", "remove AI tells", "deslop this", "sound more natural". Not a detector-evasion tool - it does not tune text to score against an AI classifier, and says so if asked.

# Verve Cut the AI tells from a piece of writing, then put a voice back into it, in **British English**, without changing what it says. Both halves matter. Text with the tells stripped but no voice left reads as machine-made too, just blandly rather than floridly. ## Prerequisites None. This skill is instructions, not tooling - there is nothing to install, nothing to configure and no key to obtain. ## Usage Text comes from the message, a file, or the clipboard. Options are natural language. - **Inline:** "verve this: [text]" - **File:** "verve draft.md" - **Clipboard:** "verve my clipboard" | Option | Values | Default | |---|---|---| | Tone | neutral, casual, professional, academic | neutral | | Strength | light, moderate, heavy | moderate | | Explain | "explain what you changed" | off | | Output | conversation, "save to [file]" | conversation | Examples: *"verve draft.md in a casual tone"*, *"verve essay.md heavily and explain what you changed"*, *"verve report.md and save to final.md"*. ## Hard constraints (never violate) These outrank every other instruction in this skill. A rewrite that breaks one of them has failed, however good it reads. 1. Every fact, number, name, date and citation survives unchanged. 2. Technical terms keep their exact wording. No synonym swaps. 3. Never invent statistics, examples, quotes, sources or credentials. 4. The argument keeps its logical structure and its claims. Cutting filler is the job; cutting content is not. 5. Any illus
