# Natural writing
Produce prose that avoids the documented signs of AI writing, based on
[Wikipedia:Signs of AI writing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing).

articles, blog posts, reports, emails, announcements, PR descriptions
- Any writing task where the user cares about tone, voice, or naturalness

The catalog of signs changes over time (models change; the community adds new
tells). Prefer the live page, fall back to the bundled snapshot:

(raw wikitext: `https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing&action=raw`).
Do this when auditing text for AI tells, when the user asks for a thorough
pass, or when the bundled snapshot looks stale for the topic at hand.
2. Snapshot: [references/signs-catalog.md](references/signs-catalog.md) is a
distilled copy of the full page, reorganized as writing rules. Use it as
the working checklist for every invocation; it i
