In plain English

This repository is a skill file for AI coding agents that addresses a specific problem: when you ask an AI to polish your writing, the result often reads cleaner but loses the feeling that a real person wrote it. The author noticed that each pass of AI editing made the text more refined but less personal, as if the person behind the words had stepped out of the room. After reflecting on what was missing, they concluded the issue is what they call "sense of existence" in the text: human writing carries traces of a specific person who paid a specific cost to write it, and AI revision tends to erase those traces. The repository packages the insights from that reflection into a single agent skill file. Once installed, it gives your AI agent a set of rules and principles for editing text in a way that preserves the author's voice rather than smoothing it away. The authors say it is especially useful in the scenario where you write a draft yourself (an article, a speech, a social post) and then hand it to an AI for cleanup: the skill tells the agent to edit the words without erasing the person behind them. The repository also includes a post-edit checklist that the agent can run after finishing, drawn from a Wikipedia guide on signs of AI writing and adapted for Chinese text. There is a case study showing the original draft, the over-polished version that went wrong, and the final version that got the balance right. Installation is a single git clone command into a local skills folder. The code is open source and free for personal use. Commercial use requires a separate license from the authors.
