Claude Code Humanizer

A Claude Code humanizer is a writing skill you can run inside your coding workflow to clean up AI-shaped prose before it ships. This page explains what the popular blader/humanizer skill is, when the web tool is enough, and when to install the skill.

upstream: blader/humanizer

What the skill is

blader/humanizer is a 21.4k+ ★ open-source skill for Claude Code and OpenCode. It removes the visible signs of AI-generated writing from text so a draft reads more natural.

The upstream project is by Siqi Chen, GitHub user blader. Blader Humanizer is an unofficial web guide and tool inspired by that repo, not the official project.

How it works

The skill follows the same basic idea as the Wikipedia guide to signs of AI writing: look for generated-text habits, then rewrite toward plain, specific prose.

01Analyze your style. If you provide samples, it learns sentence rhythm, word choices, and quirks.
02Rewrite the draft. It strips stock phrasing, AI vocabulary, forced triads, overused dashes, and vague framing.
03Audit the rewrite. It runs an “obviously AI” check, then revises again when generated habits remain.

Web tool vs the skill

The web version and the Claude Code skill solve the same writing problem, but they fit different workflows.

Use case Web tool Claude Code skill
Best for fast check
One-off drafts, emails, short pages, ChatGPT output, Gemini output, and quick copy edits.
workflow fit
Docs, README files, changelogs, launch copy, support macros, and repeated drafts inside Claude Code.
Setup No install. Paste text, detect patterns, humanize, copy the result. Install the skill once, then call it from your editor or ask Claude Code to humanize a file.
Privacy Runs in your browser and does not upload pasted text. Runs in your Claude Code / OpenCode workflow. Your normal editor and model-session privacy rules apply.
Voice matching Good for generic cleanup: fewer tells, clearer prose, less filler. Better for personal voice calibration because you can provide style samples and run it across many drafts.
Get the skill

Clone upstream, or generate a ZIP here

The official path is simple: clone Siqi Chen’s upstream repo into your Claude skills directory.

git clone https://github.com/blader/humanizer.git ~/.claude/skills/humanizer

If you just need a ready-to-install skill folder, use this page’s Claude Skill ZIP button. For the step-by-step download and unzip flow, go to the install page.

How this page stays different from /install

/install is for transaction intent: download the ZIP, see what is inside, unzip it, add it to Claude Code.

This page is for guide intent: understand what the Claude Code humanizer skill is, how it differs from the web tool, and how voice calibration changes the result.

Voice calibration

Make the rewrite sound like you

The biggest reason to install the skill is not the first cleanup pass. It is calibration. Give the skill a short sample of your own writing, then ask it to rewrite the AI draft with that rhythm and level of bluntness.

For a developer, this matters on docs and launch notes: a clean but generic rewrite can still sound like model output. A calibrated rewrite can keep your shorter sentences, naming habits, technical caveats, and preferred level of detail.

Boundaries

When not to use it

A humanizer is useful editing help. It is not evidence laundering, and it should not replace judgment.

Do not use it to trick detectors

This site is not built to bypass Turnitin, GPTZero, or similar tools. Use it to make an assisted draft clearer before a person reads it.

Do not treat tells as proof

Em dashes, triads, and polished transitions are not proof of AI authorship. The signal is a cluster of habits, not one punctuation mark.

Do not skip final review

The last pass still belongs to a human. Check facts, source claims, delete vague phrasing, and keep the lines that actually sound like you.

Keep the intent clean

If you want to check whether a draft has obvious generated-writing signals before deciding on a rewrite, use the Signs of AI Writing checker. To return to the main tool, open Blader Humanizer.
