+
+## What this is
+
+AI writing has patterns. Predictable phrases, structures, rhythms. This skill teaches Claude (or any LLM) to catch and remove them.
+
+## Skill Structure

+
+## Quick start
+
+**Claude Code:** Add this folder as a skill.
+
+**Claude Projects:** Upload `SKILL.md` and reference files to project knowledge.
+
+**Custom instructions:** Copy core rules from `SKILL.md`.
+
+**API calls:** Include `SKILL.md` in your system prompt. Reference files load on demand.
+
+## What it catches
+
+**Banned phrases** - Throat-clearing openers, emphasis crutches, business jargon, all adverbs, vague declaratives, meta-commentary. See `references/phrases.md`.
+
+**Structural clichés** - Binary contrasts, negative listings, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups, false agency, narrator-from-a-distance voice, passive voice. See `references/structures.md`.
+
+**Sentence-level rules** - No Wh- sentence starters, no em dashes, no staccato fragmentation, no lazy extremes, active voice required.
+
+## Scoring
+
+Rate 1-10 on each dimension:
+
+| Dimension | Question |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Directness | Statements or announcements? |
+| Rhythm | Varied or metronomic? |
+| Trust | Respects reader intelligence? |
+| Authenticity | Sounds human? |
+| Density | Anything cuttable? |
+
+Below 35/50: revise.
