Edit a draft to sound like Shane wrote it — removing AI-typical patterns, restoring conversational flow, and preserving technical precision. Use whenever Shane says: "humanize this", "edit in my voice", "AI detector pass", "make this sound like me", "rewrite this", "edit this post", "clean this up". Also invoke proactively if presented with a draft that contains staccato fragments, dramatic colon-reveals, em-dash lists, or semicolons between independent clauses — these are reliable markers that text needs a voice pass.

Apply Microsoft Writing Style Guide term preferences, bias-free language rules, and heading conventions to a blog draft — without disrupting voice or structure that humanize already established. Use after the humanize skill when Shane says: "ms style pass", "apply the style guide", "style check this", "run the style guide on this", "check for outdated terms", "bias check this", "clean up the terminology", "add headings". Also invoke proactively when a humanized draft contains terms like blacklist, whitelist, master/slave, sanity check, guys, or disability metaphors.
