vervelisted

Strip AI tells from prose and put a human voice back, in British or American English, pitched at the reader it is for. Use for humanising AI-generated text, removing AI writing patterns, making drafts sound like a person wrote them, for checking that a message does not talk down to its recipient, and for checking whether a draft gives away more than it should. Trigger on phrases like "verve", "give this verve", "humanise", "humanize", "make this sound human", "rewrite naturally", "remove AI tells", "deslop this", "sound more natural", on requests to convert prose between UK and US English, on requests to make writing less patronising, less condescending, or pitched right for a particular reader, on requests about oversharing - "am I saying too much", "am I giving too much away" - and on requests to save, set or change verve's preferences and the terms it must never touch. Not a detector-evasion tool - it does not tune text to score against an AI classifier, and says so if asked.

# Verve Cut the AI tells from a piece of writing, then put a voice back into it, without changing what it says. British English by default, American on request or when the source is already American. Both halves matter. Text with the tells stripped but no voice left reads as machine-made too, just blandly rather than floridly. ## Prerequisites None. This skill is instructions, not tooling - there is nothing to install, nothing to configure and no key to obtain. ## Usage Text comes from the message, a file, or the clipboard. Options are natural language. - **Inline:** "verve this: [text]" - **File:** "verve draft.md" - **Clipboard:** "verve my clipboard" | Option | Values | Default | |---|---|---| | Tone | neutral, casual, professional, academic | neutral | | Strength | light, moderate, heavy | moderate | | Variety | British, American | match the source, else British | | Audience | who it is for, in plain words | infer from the text, else assume competence | | Overshare | flag, cut, off | flag | | Explain | "explain what you changed" | off | | Output | conversation, "save to [file]" | conversation | Examples: *"verve draft.md in a casual tone"*, *"verve essay.md heavily and explain what you changed"*, *"verve report.md and save to final.md"*, *"verve this in US English"*, *"verve this for our CTO"*, *"verve this and cut the oversharing"*. Set any of these once instead of repeating them, in `.verve.md` or a `## Verve` section of `CLAUDE.md`, alongside terms verve must
