Be Human — AI skill for Claude Code

be-human

A Claude Code / agent skill that strips the tells of AI writing from any prose.

It's a checklist you run against every draft before it ships: articles, threads, posts, emails, captions, summaries, anything meant to be read. It catches inflated significance, promotional tone, rule-of-three padding, formulaic transitions, editorializing, hollow attribution, structural rigidity, and formatting tics.

Based on Wikipedia's [Signs of AI writing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Cleanup/AI_catchphrases) field guide (WikiProject AI Cleanup).

What's in the box

A single [`SKILL.md`](SKILL.md). That's the whole skill. When it's installed, your agent loads it automatically on writing tasks (via the `description` in the frontmatter) and applies the checklist.

Install

Skills live in a `skills/` directory that your agent reads on startup. Pick the scope you want.

For your whole machine (Claude Code)

Clone straight into your personal skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/Moh4696/be-human.git ~/.claude/skills/be-human

The file then sits at `~/.claude/skills/be-human/SKILL.md` and is available in every project.

For one project only

From the root of the project you want it in:

git clone https://github.com/Moh4696/be-human.git .claude/skills/be-human

Now it's scoped to that repo (and travels with it if you commit `.claude/skills/`).

Manual

If you'd rather not clone, create the folder and drop the file in:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/be-human
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/be-human/SKILL.md \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Moh4696/be-human/main/SKILL.md

Other agents (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

The skill is plain Markdown, so it works anywhere that reads skill or rule files. Put `SKILL.md` wherever that tool expects its skills, or paste its contents into your rules/instructions file.

Verify it loaded

In Claude Code, run `/skills` (or start a new session and ask what skill
