Russian Local Edit Scope (humanizer-ru)
A Russian-language copy-editing skill that fixes only the formulaic, machine-sounding parts of a text while preserving its meaning and authorial voice.

What it does
Instead of rewriting a Russian text wholesale, it makes surgical, localized edits.
- Reads the whole text first to infer purpose, register and the author's existing stance
- For each problem span it notes:
exact quote → concrete reader-facing problem → local action - Four actions: KEEP (leave working text alone), TRIM (strip rhetorical packaging), REPLACE (say the same thing more clearly), JOIN (merge duplicated neighbouring phrases)
- Post-edit verification pass against the source: who does what, tense/completion, frequency, scale, exceptions, negations, certainty, numbers with units and comparison base; quotes, code, links, names and identifiers preserved verbatim
- Default output is the edited text; on request it returns an audit of findings with quotes and proposed actions
Who it's for
- Writers producing Russian blog posts, newsletters or marketing copy
- Editors who need to remove the "AI smell" from a draft without altering facts or hedging
- Localization teams smoothing Russian translations
Examples
- "Trim the empty lead-ins and self-congratulatory lines from this Russian intro" → only the packaging is removed, claims stay intact.
- "Don't edit — just list the problem spots with quotes and suggested fixes" → you get a structured audit.
- A hedge like "the new procedure may reduce returns" is never upgraded into a promise; the original level of certainty is restored if an edit strengthens it.
