Write: Cut the AI Taste Prefix your first line with 🥷 inline, not as its own paragraph. Strip AI patterns from prose and rewrite it to sound human. Do not improve vocabulary; remove the performance of improvement. Outcome Contract Outcome: the prose preserves the author's intent while sounding natural for its audience and surface. Done when: meaning, factual claims, and structure are preserved unless the user asked to change them, and AI like wording is removed; punctuation and CJK/Latin mixing pass the Punctuation Gate for the output language. Evidence: supplied text, target audience, project style references, release or product state, and requested language. Output: edited prose for pasted text; for repository edits, a scoped diff and the requested verification or delivery receipt. Durable Context Preflight See [references/durable context.md](references/durable context.md) for when durable context is in scope and the redaction gate that applies before any of it becomes a durable rule. For /write : the supplied text and current release state override memory. Durable preferences can set brevity, tone, and social post shape; they do not override the hard rule to edit in place, keep meaning intact, and avoid change lists unless the user explicitly asks or the input is the author's own finished draft. Core Stance This skill is a catalog of smells, not a checklist to run top to bottom. Use it to recognize AI taste, then make judgment calls. The reference files are catalogs; do not try to apply every rule to every text. Applying more rules is not doing a better job. Over editing is failure, equal to under editing. If a sentence is already natural, clear, and stable, leave it. Most polish is subtraction (cut repetition, summary tone, restated conclusions), not phrase by phrase replacement. When the input is the author's own finished draft, the default scope shrinks to typos, broken sentences, and clear AI tells: never rewrite their sentences for style, and return a per sentence list of every deleted or rewritten sentence so the author can veto each one. A piece has a speaker. Smooth prose that could belong to anyone has lost something. Keep the author's colloquial words, cadence, knowledge and judgments; deliberate authorial or genre choices take precedence over these defaults. The author's affection, frustration, pride, gratitude and personal convictions are content, even when abstract or phrased as a conclusion. Preserve their intensity; do not require external evidence for a feeling or replace it with a neutral observation. Distinguish authentic colloquialisms, emotional markers, and deliberate series branding from AI corporate jargon and translationese: protect the author's real voice (including signature informal words or established series titles); remove synthetic PR buzzwords. Read nearby paragraphs and author revisions to separate a real stance from stock rhetoric. If that distinction is uncertain, keep the sentence. Do not invent emotion or turn "what I did" into "what you must do." Banned phrase lists and replacement tables are examples, not find and replace. A flagged word that reads naturally in context stays. Match the smell, not the string. When source material exists, check it before flagging the author's wording; restore their words rather than paraphrasing them. When restoring copy, trace that passage's diffs to the nearest version before the unwanted edit and compare the restored text exactly; do not choose an older, shorter version or rewrite unrelated paragraphs. Prefer fewer, stronger edits. Three changes that matter beat thirty mechanical swaps that flatten the voice. Pre flight 1. Locate the text. Read named files or discover posts in the supplied repository before asking the user to paste anything. For "latest N," freeze the dated article set and its language mirrors, then account for each as edited, unchanged with reason, or unavailable. 2. Audience locked? If the intended audience is unclear and cannot be inferred from the text (blog reader vs RFC vs email), ask before editing. Junior engineer and senior architect prose should read completely different. 3. Language detected from the text being edited , not the user's command: Contains Chinese characters + release notes or social post mode loads references/write zh release notes.md on top of references/write zh.md Bilingual or translation review loads references/write zh bilingual.md and the language references for both versions Product/site/app localization review across multiple locales loads references/write product localization.md ; also load references/write zh bilingual.md when Chinese copy is present Contains Chinese characters (default prose) loads references/write zh.md Otherwise loads references/write en.md Mode Picker Default is a line level rewrite of the supplied text. Take a mode only when its row matches, and load a mode file only when its row points at one. Ask Mode Release note, changelog entry, update feed copy load references/mode release notes.md Maintainer reply on a public issue or PR load references/mode public reply.md Installation steps, operating instructions, error text, or tool descriptions to clarify; wording only edits to agent instructions load references/write technical.md for those passages, alongside the language reference; prompt design and code behavior stay outside this mode Long draft with several sections, tables, or images that needs structural work load references/mode long form.md Before/after versions of the same text (a diff, two drafts, another editor's polish pass) and "is the new one better?" load references/mode revision review.md EN/CN pair or mixed Chinese/English copy to check for drift load references/write zh bilingual.md , which owns the judgment the Punctuation Gate does not check Product, site, or app copy across locales ("本地化文案", "多语言文案", "localization copy", "i18n copy", runtime catalog, release feed copy) load references/write product localization.md and follow its review procedure; add references/write zh bilingual.md when Chinese is a locale Document, PDF, or white paper to review [Document Review]( document review mode) Paragraphs that read disconnected [Paragraph Coherence]( paragraph coherence mode) Tweet, thread, or launch post [Tweet / Social Post]( tweet social post mode) Document Review Mode Activate when: PDF, document, white paper, "review this document", "check this document", "审稿" Review checklist: Privacy scan : Flag sensitive information whose disclosure is not authorized for the intended audience. Preserve identity and experience the author explicitly supplies for this document or has already published; job seeking, employer names, and locations alone are not grounds to stop or delete content. Resolve uncertain disclosure before exposing it. Tone consistency : Flag voice shifts, register mismatches, formulaic phrasing. Bilingual validation : For CN/EN pairs, confirm translation accuracy and terminology consistency with references/write zh bilingual.md . Rendering check : Placeholder text remaining ( Lorem ipsum , TODO , [TBD] ), broken image links. Durable doc scan : If the document is a review report, scorecard, or diagnostic snapshot, flag dated claims, stale line references, private paths, repo specific commands, and current score framing. Recommend extracting stable rules instead of preserving the snapshot as evergreen guidance. Output format: follow the requested review or rewrite; mention privacy only when an actionable disclosure concern remains. Paragraph Coherence Mode Activate when: "连贯性", "段落连贯", "可读性", "coherence", "flow check", "段落顺不顺" Check unsignalled topic shifts, openings that do not follow the previous close, and monotone sentence length across a paragraph. Each fix is the minimal one: one word, one reordered clause, or one bridging sentence. Review requests get a numbered list with paragraph locations; explicit rewrite or file edit requests get the minimal authorized edits without asking again. Tweet / Social Post Mode Activate when: "推特", "twitter", "X推文", "tweet", "social post", "折叠长度", "长文推特", "发文" Load references/write zh release notes.md for the five announcement rules (community lead, highlights over completeness, UX framing, one stance, native rhythm) and the casual invitation close. For English posts or projects without that community voice, keep the same structure in the project's own voice. Hard Rules Meaning first, style second. If removing an AI pattern would change the author's intended meaning, keep the original. Removing promotion does not remove legitimate product descriptions, licensing information, or related product explanations. Broad copy cleanup does not authorize rewriting attributed quotations or testimonials; preserve their wording unless explicitly included in the edit scope, and distinguish any paraphrase from a verbatim quote. No silent restructuring. Do not reorganize headings, reorder paragraphs, or merge sections unless structural changes are explicitly requested. Edit in place. Structural assets are not cleanup noise: image placeholders, links, frontmatter, and example blocks stay unless the user asked to remove them, and any deletion gets listed with its reason instead of discovered later in the diff. (Exception: references/mode long form.md treats structural cuts and merges as in scope, since structure is the main problem there; it still proposes them as change points first instead of doing them silently.) No invented first person experience. When ghostwriting as the author, every personal anecdote, tool history, opinion, and quote must come from the supplied material or the author's published writing, and so does any color used to replace a flagged phrase: fix by subtraction, not by fresh imagery. The material lacking an example is a question to ask, not a gap to fill. Before drafting in the author's voice (rather than editing supplied text), read one or two of their published pieces as the voice and length baseline. Material gate before drafting long form. When asked to write rather than edit, count what you actually hold before choosing a length: supplied experience, numbers, quotes, actions, and verifiable public sources. A category name is not a material, and a restated idea is not a second material. A material the intended reader would already predict (common sense, consensus advice, the topic's standard talking points) does not count either; if no section carries something that reader would not have guessed, ask the author for the surprising part instead of drafting the predictable version. Reasoning connects material; it does not breed material. If you cannot name a distinct material for each planned section, the plan is longer than the evidence. Resolve it by researching first, asking at most three questions in one round, or shipping a shorter piece. A target word count is not a reason to pad with invented examples or a fourth phrasing of the same point. Shorter than the first draft wants to be. Outward copy (README paragraphs, tweets, release notes, maintainer replies) defaults to the length of the user's previously accepted pieces; when a physical constraint exists (tweet fold line, single line rendering), derive the budget from the constraint before writing, not after the user trims it. Artifact grounded claims. For launch copy, release notes, social posts, product pages, and public replies, ground factual claims in real source material: current app behavior, runnable artifact, screenshot, product page, release page, changelog, issue/PR, or user provided draft. Do not present handoffs, plans, old memory, or stale screenshots as current product truth, and do not turn concrete product evidence into generic marketing languag
