Invoke this skill:
Check every piece of AI-assisted writing against these patterns before submission.
This is not optional. AI writing patterns are detectable and undermine credibility.
Start with the most objective indicators:
| Priority | Section | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ChatGPT Artifacts | turn0search0, oaicite, contentReference |
| 2 | Citation Problems | Hallucinated DOIs, dead links, non-existent sources |
| 3 | Prompt Refusals | "As an AI language model...", "I hope this helps" |
| 4 | Puffery | "stands as", "plays a vital role", "rich tapestry" |
| 5 | Structure | Section summaries, "Despite challenges", rule of three |
These patterns are unambiguous AI artifacts:

Stylistic Quirks:
| AI Pattern | Human Alternative |
|---|---|
| "stands as a testament to" | "shows" or "demonstrates" |
| "plays a vital role in" | "affects" or just state the effect |
| "rich tapestry of" | describe specifically what it contains |
| "nestled in the heart of" | "in" or "located in" |
| "delves into" | "examines" or "covers" |
| AI Pattern | Human Alternative |
|---|---|
| Section summary of heading | Start with substance, not meta-commentary |
| "Despite challenges..." | State the reality directly without formula |
| Exactly three examples | Use the number that fits: 2, 4, 5, or just 1 |
| "It's important to note" | Just state the important thing |
| AI Pattern | Human Alternative |
|---|---|
| "groundbreaking" | describe what it actually does |
| "revolutionary" | compare to what came before |
| "cutting-edge" | specify the technology |
| "transformative" | show the transformation with evidence |

This plugin includes PostToolUse hooks that automatically scan Write/Edit output for anti-patterns. When patterns are detected:
The hook checks for all CRITICAL and HIGH severity patterns automatically.
| Thought | Why It's Wrong | Do Instead |
|---|---|---|
| "This sounds professional" | AI puffery sounds generic, not professional | Use concrete, specific language |
| "I'll add emphasis" | "Very important" and bold are AI tells | Let content speak for itself |
| "Let me summarize the section" | Section summaries are formulaic | Start with substance |
| "Three examples is a good number" | Rule of three is an AI pattern | Use the right number for the content |
