What Academic Humanizer does

Academic Humanizer minimally revises English or Chinese academic prose to remove formulaic or mechanically repetitive phrasing while preserving claims, terminology, and scholarly register. Use it for papers, abstracts, grants, cover letters, and reviewer responses when you want to humanize text without changing meaning.

Academic Humanizer is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Academic Humanizer comes from a repository tagged agent-memory, agent-skill, agent-skills, ai-agents and ai-coding-agent.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Academic Humanizer

Improve academic prose by removing observable writing defects, not by imitating imperfection or optimizing an authorship detector. Preserve the author's facts, argument, uncertainty, and disciplinary voice. This skill does not guarantee how any reader or detector will classify a text.

Portability

This skill is agent-agnostic. Its core behavior is defined by SKILL.md and references/; Python is optional and supports reproducible diagnostics.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
