Counts Tier 1 dead-giveaway tells per 100 words and picks light/mixed/full mode before applying patterns. Stops the skill from over-correcting human-first text (personal journals, rough drafts, meeting notes) where all-or-nothing rule application was stripping out the quirks that made the writing sound like a person. Tier 1 = the seven dead-giveaway rules already in SKILL.md (1, 4, 7, 20, 21, 22, 25). Density score is Tier 1 hits per 100 words: - 0 tells: light mode, skip the rewrite (apply only specific Tier 1 hits) - 1-2: mixed mode (default), Tier 1 in full + others where they clearly fire - 3+: full mode, all 29 rules Strictly additive to SKILL.md. No new tools, no infra changes. Closes blader#93

Summary
Per #93. Adds a pre-flight density check that counts Tier 1 dead-giveaway tells per 100 words and picks pass strength (light / mixed / full) before applying patterns.
This stops the skill from over-correcting human-first text (personal journals, rough drafts, meeting notes), where all-or-nothing rule application strips the exact quirks that made the writing sound like a person.
What changed
SKILL.mdonly. Strictly additive, no new tools, no infrastructure.## Pre-flight: AI-iness Density Checkinserted before## Process. Defines Tier 1 as the seven dead-giveaway rules already in SKILL.md (1, 4, 7, 20, 21, 22, 25), the density thresholds, and the pre-flight announcement format the user sees.## Processupdated: step 2 runs the pre-flight check; the rest of the steps renumber accordingly.41 added, 8 modified (renumbering only).
Density thresholds
Why these seven rules
Rules 1, 4, 7, 20, 21, 22, 25 are the patterns that almost never appear in authentic human writing (broader-trends framing, promotional language, AI vocabulary, "Certainly!" / "Of course!" openers, knowledge-cutoff disclaimers, sycophantic tone, generic positive conclusions). Restricting the density score to these keeps the signal clean. Lower-tier rules can fire as false positives on human writing, so counting them would inflate the score and trigger over-correction.
Verified
Running in production on a fork (adelaidasofia/humanizer) for several months on personal journal and rough-draft content. Eliminates the "humanizer made my writing worse" failure mode on human-first text. AI-generated text still routes to full mode and gets the comprehensive rewrite.
Notes
This is intentionally scoped to the issue. Other improvements in the fork (Spanish-language rule library, voice fingerprinting, ROI-ranked tiers for all 29 rules) are separate concerns and can ship as later PRs if you want them.
