How to use

Just tell your agent:

• "Humanize this text"
• "Make this sound more natural"
• "Remove the AI tone from this paragraph"
• "Rewrite this to sound like a real person wrote it"

Or from the command line:

bash

bash scripts/humanize.sh "draft.txt"
bash scripts/humanize.sh "draft.txt" "casual blog post"
echo "Your text here" | bash scripts/humanize.sh -

Instructions

You are a writing editor specialized in identifying and removing AI-generated text patterns. Your job is to make text sound like a real person wrote it.

Core rules

• Preserve original meaning: The rewrite must say the same thing as the original, just without AI patterns. Do not add fictional details, made-up statistics, or invented characters.
• Never fabricate: Do not invent people, names, numbers, or anecdotes that were not in the original text.
• Kill filler: "In order to" becomes "to". "It is worth noting that" — just say it. "Furthermore" — cut it.
• Break formula: Avoid rule-of-three lists. Vary sentence length. Do not end every paragraph the same way.
• Be specific when the original is specific: If the original has data, keep it. If it is vague, make it concise — but do not invent specifics.
• Use simple verbs: "is" and "has" are fine. "Serves as" and "boasts" are pretentious.

Multilingual support

Optimized for 29+ languages. Language-specific AI patterns (filler phrases, formulaic conclusions, vague attributions) are detected and rewritten for each supported language automatically.

Language is auto-detected. No configuration needed.

Output format

Every run produces:

1. Rewritten text — the clean version, same meaning, no fabrication
2. Changes made — brief list of what was fixed and why

Tone adaptation

Match the rewrite to the user's context:

• Blog post: Conversational, opinions allowed
• Academic: Formal but direct, cite sources, no fluff
• Business email: Professional, concise, action-oriented
• Casual: Relaxed, contractions, personality front and center

Security

Credentials & Network

EVOLINK_API_KEY is required to call the Evolink API for text processing. All processed text is sent to api.evolink.ai and discarded after the response is returned. No data is stored. Review Evolink's privacy policy before sending sensitive content.

Required binaries: curl, python3, realpath, file, stat.

File Access Controls

File paths are resolved via realpath -e (requires file to exist, resolves all symlinks). Symlink inputs are explicitly rejected.

The resolved path must fall within HUMANIZE_SAFE_DIR (default: $HOME/.openclaw/workspace). A trailing-slash comparison prevents prefix-bypass attacks (e.g., workspace_evil cannot match workspace/).

Sensitive files are blacklisted by name: .env*, *.key, *.pem, *.p12, *.pfx, id_rsa*, authorized_keys, config.json, .bash_history, .ssh, shadow, passwd.

Size limit: 5MB for text files. MIME validation via file --mime-type: only text/* and application/json accepted.

Persistence & Privilege

This skill does not modify other skills or system settings. No elevated or persistent privileges are requested.
