Summary

Ports blader/humanizer (MIT, v2.5.1, 16k stars) into built-in skills at skills/creative/humanizer/. Based on Wikipedia's 'Signs of AI writing' guide — detects 29 AI-writing patterns and rewrites them to sound human. Useful both when a user asks Hermes to clean up their text and as a reference the agent can load for its own user-facing prose (release notes, PR descriptions, docs).

Changes

  • skills/creative/humanizer/SKILL.md — 598 lines. Hermes frontmatter (description <60 chars: 'Humanize text: strip AI-isms and add real voice.'), 'When to use this skill' trigger-phrase section, 'How to use it in Hermes' mapping the three real input paths (inline / file via read_file+patch+write_file / voice-calibration sample) to the tools the agent actually has. Drops Claude Code's allowed-tools block.
  • skills/creative/humanizer/LICENSE — full MIT license verbatim from upstream.

Attribution

Original author Siqi Chen (@blader) credited in frontmatter and body. Wikipedia / WikiProject AI Cleanup credited as the underlying source of the 29 patterns. 29 patterns, personality/soul section, and full worked example preserved verbatim (29,914 chars of source content intact).

Validation

E2E against a clean HERMES_HOME:

Result
sync_skills() Copies skills/creative/humanizer/ including LICENSE
skills_list(category='creative') Returns humanizer with 48-char description
skill_view(name='humanizer') Returns full 29,914-char body — all 29 patterns, personality/soul, attribution, Hermes tool refs (read_file, patch, write_file) intact
Frontmatter YAML Parses cleanly; description 48 chars (<60 target)

Port https://github.com/blader/humanizer (MIT, v2.5.1, 16k stars) into
the built-in skills under skills/creative/humanizer/. Based on Wikipedia's
'Signs of AI writing' guide (WikiProject AI Cleanup) — detects 29 AI-writing
patterns and rewrites them to sound human.

Hermes-native adaptations:
- Description (<60 chars) explains what it's for: 'Humanize text: strip
  AI-isms and add real voice.'
- 'When to use this skill' section — trigger phrases (humanize, de-AI,
  de-slop, un-ChatGPT, rewrite to not sound like an LLM) plus guidance to
  apply it to the agent's own output (release notes, PR descriptions, docs).
- 'How to use it in Hermes' — maps the three real input paths (inline,
  file via read_file/patch/write_file, voice-calibration sample) onto the
  tools the agent actually has. Drops Claude Code's allowed-tools block.
- Converted frontmatter to Hermes format (metadata.hermes.tags, category,
  homepage, related_skills).

Attribution preserved:
- Original author Siqi Chen (@blader) credited in frontmatter and body.
- Full MIT LICENSE copied verbatim alongside SKILL.md.
- Wikipedia / WikiProject AI Cleanup credited.
- 29 patterns, personality/soul section, and full worked example kept
  verbatim from the source (29,914 chars).

Validated end-to-end against a clean HERMES_HOME:
- sync_skills() copies skills/creative/humanizer/ including LICENSE.
- skills_list(category='creative') returns the 48-char description.
- skill_view(name='humanizer') returns the full body with all 29 patterns,
  personality/soul, attribution, and Hermes tool refs (read_file, patch,
  write_file) intact.
