Avoiding AI patterns is only half the job - sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious as slop.

This adds a new section covering:

  • Signs of soulless writing (uniform sentences, no opinions, reads like Wikipedia)
  • Having actual opinions and reactions to what you're writing about
  • Varying rhythm - short punchy bits mixed with longer ones
  • Acknowledging mixed feelings and uncertainty
  • Using first person when appropriate
  • Letting some mess in - perfect structure feels algorithmic
  • Being specific about feelings, not generic

Includes before/after examples showing the difference between clean-but-soulless and writing that actually has a pulse.


Came out of testing the skill and realizing the output was technically clean but felt like it had no soul. The skill now has two jobs: strip the AI slop and inject actual human voice.

Avoiding AI patterns is only half the job - sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious as slop.

This adds guidance on:
- Signs of soulless writing (uniform sentences, no opinions, reads like Wikipedia)
- Having actual opinions and reactions
- Varying rhythm
- Acknowledging mixed feelings
- Using first person when appropriate
- Letting some mess in
- Being specific about feelings
