What Humanize does

Humanize audits .tex, .qmd, or .md files for AI-voice tells such as boilerplate transitions, cliché lexicon, em-dash overuse, and hedging stacking. Use it before journal submission or posting a working paper to see if prose sounds AI-generated.

Humanize is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Humanize comes from a repository tagged academic-writing, causal-inference, claude-code, claude-code-skills and econometrics.
