Humanizer 3.0.0 rebuilds the skill around one account of why AI text sounds the way it does, and consolidates 35 patterns into 25 with nothing dropped.

What changed

  • One account up front. The skill opens with why AI text sounds the way it does: a model makes the choice that fits the widest range of readers, and every tell is a form of that default. Two rules follow: every kept sentence must add something the reader did not have, and a tell counts in proportion to how rarely a careful writer would make it on purpose.
  • Patterns grouped in five sections and ordered by strength and frequency. Staging instead of stating (1 to 5), Rhythm by rule (6 to 11), Inflation and borrowed authority (12 to 18), Formatting by rule (19 to 21), Leftovers from the chat and the draft (22 to 25). The not-X-but-Y contrast and the one-line closer come first and get the fullest treatment: every variant named, the paragraph-scale form, a one-sighting rule, and a final scan step.
  • Duplicate guidance merged. The workflow is one section instead of five. The dash rule is stated once. Each false-positive guard lives inside the pattern it guards, marked weak alone where one sighting should not trigger an edit.
  • Aligned with the current Wikipedia article. Dropped false ranges and synonym cycling, which Wikipedia now lists as a human habit and a historical indicator. Added vague connection or association. Extended the watch lists for words, notability, copulatives, sales language, disclaimers, and Markdown formatting. Moved dashes below triads.
  • Merged contributor fixes from #234, #235, #236, #237, #240, #245, #258, and #264. Closes #212, #238, #247.
  • README reordered with installation first, tables in the same five sections, and the Lisbon example shown with the writer's notes it relies on. Removed the ai-detection keyword from the package files.
  • Validator derives the pattern count from the headings, checks package facts only, and caps the skill at 400 lines.
