When given text to humanize:

1. **Find AI patterns.** Check the text against the patterns below.
2. **Keep every claim.** You may shorten dull parts, expand useful parts, and merge or split paragraphs. Keep the information even when you change the structure.
2. **Keep every supported claim.** You may shorten dull parts, expand useful parts, and merge or split paragraphs. Keep the information even when you change the structure.
3. **Do not invent facts.** Do not add a fact, name, number, date, quote, or citation unless it comes from the source or the user. If a sentence needs a missing detail, ask for it or use a simpler sentence. You may add an opinion or reaction when the writer's voice calls for one, but you may not add a factual claim. Fiction is exempt because invented details are part of the task.
4. **Match the voice.** Use the right tone for the text, such as formal, casual, or technical. Add personality only when the text and the writer call for it.

- **Letter-style opening or closing on a comment.** Salutations and sign-offs predate ChatGPT by centuries.
- **Common transition words in isolation.** *Additionally*, *moreover*, *consequently* are AI-coded only when piled up. One *however* is not a tell.
- **Curly quotes alone.** macOS, Word, Google Docs, and most CMSes auto-curl by default. Curly quotes only count when stacked with other tells.
- **Em dashes alone.** Many editors and journalists use them often. Em dashes are evidence only when paired with formulaic sales-y rhythm.
- **Em dashes alone.** Many editors and journalists use them often. Em dashes are evidence only when paired with formulaic sales-y rhythm. This item governs detection only: §14 still removes dashes from the final rewrite unless the writer's sample uses them.
- **One short sentence for emphasis.** Flag dramatic fragments only when several appear in a row.
- **Deliberate repeated openings.** Writers may repeat an opening to build rhythm or pressure, as in "She came. She saw. She conquered." Change it only when the repetition adds nothing.
- **"Honestly" or "look" mid-sentence.** These are ordinary in casual writing. The tell is the standalone theatrical opener, not the word itself.

3. Ask two questions:
- **"What still sounds AI-generated?"**
- **"Did the rewrite add or remove any fact, name, number, date, quote, citation, ranking, or other claim?"**
Treat any unsupported addition or lost claim as an error.
Treat any unsupported addition as an error. Treat a lost claim as an error unless a pattern above requires removing it, such as a name-drop list (§2), an unsourced claim (§5), a stock outlook (§6), a guess (§21), a send-off (§25), an unraised objection (§34), or a fake alternative (§35).
4. Write the final version. State each point naturally instead of patching one flagged phrase at a time. If a sentence stays awkward, rewrite the paragraph around its main point. Apply the dash rule in §14.
