## What it is
A skill/plugin for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, MorphMind) that edits AI-assisted academic drafts to remove generic AI-writing tells while preserving scholarly voice, claims, numbers, and citations. It is calibrated against authors' own accepted papers and funded NSF/NIH proposals.

## Use cases
- de-AI-ify my research paper draft
- make my NSF proposal sound less like ChatGPT
- edit an NIH Specific Aims page for clarity and voice
- remove generic AI phrasing from a grant proposal
- keep my writing voice when using AI to draft papers
- polish AI-assisted academic writing without changing citations

## When to choose
- you draft papers or grant proposals with AI help and they read generic and verbose
- you need claims, numbers, and citations preserved exactly during editing
- you want editing calibrated to your own prior accepted writing

## When to avoid
- you want to evade AI-detection tools - it explicitly does not do this
- you need a general-purpose humanizer for blogs or marketing copy
- you want the tool to generate content or findings rather than edit drafts
