README

academic-register

A Claude Code skill. Fixes English academic/scientific prose that reads wrong to reviewers — either **(A) too informal** (contractions, idioms, phrasal verbs, "a lot of", rhetorical questions, punchy fragments) or **(B) AI-written/inflated** (delve, underscore, tricolons, "not only… but also", "it is worth noting", hedge clusters, promotional verbs). It measures with a deterministic scan, classifies violations by severity (S1/S2/S3) against a canonical rubric (R1–R10 + Hyland stance), and rewrites by **substituting** (not deleting) while preserving content, numbers, citations, and voice.

Its core is the **two-pole guard**: a naive "make it formal" pass pushes writing from A straight into B, so the both-pole AI-slop intersection is off-limits in *both* directions.
