remove-ai-patterns

Thin wrapper around Conor Bronsdon's avoid-ai-writing skill (MIT licensed). A pinned snapshot of the upstream catalog and detector is vendored at upstream/ inside this skill directory (commit recorded in upstream/UPSTREAM-PIN), so the skill works offline and deterministically.

How to run

1. Read upstream/SKILL.md (the full pattern catalog, tiered word lists, and mode definitions) and follow it. It defines the modes: detect-only, edit-in-place for files, optional voice profile, and an iterate-to-convergence pass.

2. For a deterministic, machine-checkable audit, run the bundled detector (requires Node.js, no npm install needed). Resolve it by the skill's own absolute path, NOT a bare relative path: the command runs from the user's current working directory, so node scripts/detect.js would fail with MODULE_NOT_FOUND. You already know this skill's directory (you just read this SKILL.md from it), so set it once and reuse it. Under a Claude Code plugin install ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} gives the plugin root; under Codex (where that variable is unset) or a direct skill install, substitute the absolute path of the directory holding this file:

   # Claude Code plugin install:
   SKILL_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/remove-ai-patterns"
   # Codex plugin or direct skill install: the absolute path of the
   # directory this SKILL.md lives in (it ends in skills/remove-ai-patterns;
   # the plugin root already is the writing plugin, so there is no extra
   # plugins/writing segment). Direct installs are simpler, e.g.
   #   SKILL_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/agent-skills/remove-ai-patterns"
