What it does

Remove predictable AI writing patterns from prose

Best for

Cleaning published or client-facing prose when writer defaults to AI-like patterns (em-dashes, vague declaratives, binary contrasts, narrator voice).

Inputs
  • · draft text
Outputs
  • · clean prose (no throat-clearing, passive voice, inanimate subjects, adverbs, false urgency)
Preconditions

Author willing to cut filler and trust reader comprehension

Failure modes

Over-cutting removes necessary nuance; specificity hunt finds no specificity to add (text already concrete); rhythm rules conflict with technical precision

Trust signals
  • · Specific filler phrases and structures listed in references/phrases.md and references/structures.md
  • · Scoring rubric (Directness, Rhythm, Trust, Authenticity, Density) quantifies prose quality on 1-10 scale
  • · Author Hardik Pandya (hvpandya.com) documented examples with before/after transformations
