AI-Check (AI Writing Forensics)
Scores any text across nine AI-tell signal categories and returns a structured report with quoted evidence and concrete fixes.
What it does
Gives you a forensic breakdown instead of a vague "this feels like AI" answer. Each of nine signal categories is scored 0–3: perplexity/vocabulary safety, burstiness deficit, hedge density, structural tells, specificity deficit, transition fingerprint, punctuation fingerprint, voice & register, and rhetorical scaffolding.
- Total score 0–27 mapped to a verdict (Human → AI) plus a confidence level
- A separate AI-edited fraction estimate for the common mixed-authorship case
- An evidence log where every fired signal must cite an exact quote
- Recommended rewrites for the top three signals when the score exceeds 6
- Calibration rules for short texts, academic/legal registers, ESL writers, paraphrased text, and known detector blind spots
It catches subtle patterns most checkers miss: em-dash pivots, "turns out" reveals, mini-aphorism closers, tricolon parallels, and "register collapse" in Slack-style messages.
Who it's for
- Writers self-editing blog posts, newsletters, or LinkedIn drafts before publishing
- Marketers and editors humanizing AI first drafts
- Professionals checking that emails, cover letters, and proposals don't read as machine-made
- Educators who need concrete examples of AI writing tells
Examples
- "Run ai-check on this draft" → report flags Signal G (four em dashes in 600 words) and Signal I (chiasmus closer); you fix just those two spots.
- Paste a Slack status update → skill detects register collapse:
lmkand~60%on top of perfectly formed sentences, and suggests fragmenting the prose. - Review a client email → templated closer "Let me know if you have any questions" plus reflexive hedging get replaced with one specific ask.

- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the ai-check folder from the GitHub repo harshaneel/humanize into my ~/.claude/skills/ai-check/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/harshaneel/humanize.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r humanize/ai-check ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open your terminal.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/harshaneel/humanize.git - Create the skills directory if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill folder:
cp -r humanize/ai-check ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify it landed:
ls ~/.claude/skills/ai-checkshould showSKILL.md. - Restart Claude Code, then ask something like "does this paragraph sound AI-written?" to trigger the skill.
- (Optional) To install every skill in the repo:
cp -r humanize/* ~/.claude/skills/.
