What it does
Audits text for the tells of machine authorship and either reports them or rewrites in place, with voice profiles so edits move toward your own register rather than a generic one. The detect-only mode is the useful distinction: you see what it would change before it changes anything. Portable across Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes and other skill-compatible agents. It fixes phrasing, not facts, and using it to obscure AI authorship where disclosure is required is a policy problem. MIT.
