What it does

Paper Humanizer is a prescriptive editing skill that refactors academic text to sound more natural and less AI-generated while preserving all factual content, citations, and numeric values. It enforces a strict no-fabrication policy, keeps technical terminology intact, and applies language-specific phrase blacklists to remove common AI-isms. The SKILL.md includes system prompts, blacklist rules, parameter templates, and a recommended 4-section output format for deterministic responses.

When to use it

Use when preparing drafts for submission (papers, theses, conference abstracts) to polish tone and phrasing without altering results, metrics, or citation markers. Useful for bilingual workflows (Chinese and English) and for editors who must maintain strict factuality.

What's included

Scripts: optional CLI wrapper for batch processing (scripts/paper_humanizer.py) enabling file-based processing and prompt composition.
References: a references/ folder contains system_prompt and phrase_blacklist guiding deterministic edits.
Instructions: explicit workflow (Analyze → Strategy → Execute → Output) and parameters (language, tone, strict_factuality, keep_citations).
