About this skill
What it does
The AI Smell Detector is a specialized diagnostic utility for developers and content managers who need to objectively evaluate text for "robotic" or machine-generated characteristics. It moves beyond simple binary detection to provide a nuanced 0-5 scoring system, identifying the specific linguistic markers—such as abstract noun stacking, excessive hedging, and symmetrical paragraph structures—that trigger AI detection filters.
Why use this skill
Simply prompting an LLM to "check for AI" often results in hallucinatory false positives or vague feedback. This skill uses a rigorous rubric to separate style issues from meaning issues, providing a technical triage of a draft before you commit resources to a rewrite. It identifies precise "smells" like generic openings and repetitive paraphrasing, allowing for targeted human intervention rather than blind guessing.
Supported workflows
- Pre-publication Triage: Automatically score drafts to decide if they need a manual polish or an automated humanization pass.
- Content Quality Assurance: Audit large batches of copy to ensure a consistent, natural brand voice.
- Source Analysis: Determine if external submissions or research summaries are original or machine-spun.
The output is a structured diagnostic report featuring a severity score, a list of strongest signals, and a strategic recommendation for remediation.
