Rewrite AI-sounding text so it reads like a human domain expert without changing what it says. Use when editing or reviewing prose, documentation, commit messages, PR descriptions, and summaries for AI tells: not-X-but-Y contrasts, copula avoidance ("serves as", "stands as"), forced triads, em dashes everywhere, inflated significance ("pivotal", "testament", "tapestry"), sales puffery, formulaic "challenges and future outlook" conclusions, canned procedural summaries ("refined for clarity and flow", "preserved X while improving Y"), shallow -ing riders, bold-colon listicles, and stock AI vocabulary. Exhaustively based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" and WikiProject AI Cleanup.
Write prose with craft and a real voice, and edit flat or AI-flavored prose to find it. Two modes: `draft` (write from scratch) and `edit` (bring voice to existing text against a pattern catalog). Adopt any voice or persona: `--voice <name>` from a library, `--persona <name|desc>` (voice plus worldview), or `--like <sample>` to clone one. Backed by a deduped craft canon (Strunk, Zinsser, Orwell, Williams, Lanham, Clark, Pinker, Le Guin, McPhee, Provost) plus the full AI-tell catalog. The core idea is positive: great writing has a person behind it, and the so-called AI tells are just the absence of voice. Use when DRAFTING or EDITING fiction, blog posts, essays, marketing copy, newsletters, or any long-form prose. NOT for code, technical docs, or chat replies. Trigger: 'write this', 'draft this', 'make this better', 'give this voice', 'in the voice of', 'does this sound like AI', 'humanize', 'apply my style'.

Use when asked to learn the style of a site, build a style guide from a website, rewrite text in a site's voice, or 'изучи стиль сайта', 'перепиши в стиле'. Learn mode needs browser automation; apply mode needs only the guide. Do not use for an author's own voice (awesome-content-voice), stripping AI voice (awesome-humanize-en), or translation (awesome-translate-ru-en).
