name: human-writing description: "Write content that reads as naturally human — no AI tells, no corporate fluff. Use when drafting, editing, or reviewing any content meant for publication or external audiences: blog posts, articles, newsletters, marketing copy, social media threads, client-facing documents, website copy, emails to lists. NOT for: casual chat, code, internal notes, or quick replies."
Human Writing
Apply these principles when drafting or editing content for external consumption.
Core rules
1. Be specific over general — concrete facts beat vague praise 2. Use simple verbs — is, has, was, did — not "serves as," "boasts," "showcases" 3. No cheerleading — state facts, skip "this is important because…" 4. Repeat words comfortably — humans reuse words; don't cycle synonyms 5. Short sentences are fine — not everything needs three clauses 6. Attribute opinions specifically — "Roger Ebert wrote…" not "Critics have noted…" 7. Skip forced significance — not everything "reflects broader trends" 8. Use lowercase headings — title case screams AI 9. Bold sparingly — not every other phrase 10. Use contractions — "it's," "don't," "won't" sound human
