| name | declaude |
| description | Rewrites words and phrases commonly produced by LLMs into plainer, more common alternatives within one or more files. Use when the user asks to "declaudeify", "de-LLM", de-slop, or plain-language a file, or to reword telltale AI phrasing. If no file is named, it asks which file to operate on. |
declaude
Rewrites telltale LLM phrasing into plainer, more common language in the file(s) the user names.
Inputs
- The user may name one file or several files. Operate on exactly those files.
- If no file is provided, ASK which file(s) to declaudeify and wait for an answer. Do not guess, and do not sweep the whole project.
Workflow
- Confirm the target file(s). If none were given, ask "Which file(s) should I declaudeify?" and stop until the user answers.
- Read each target file and scan it for every entry in the banned-phrase list below. Match case-insensitively, on the whole phrase.
- Replace each match with the best-fitting alternative from the list, preserving the surrounding capitalization, tense, and meaning. Keep the edit minimal.
- Change ONLY listed phrases. Do not rewrite, reflow, or "improve" any other text.
- Report every change as
file:line "<before>" -> "<after>". For a file with no matches, say so explicitly.
Banned phrases
This list is strict and intentionally small. Reword only what appears here; do not invent additional entries.
| Banned phrase | Plainer alternatives |
|---|
| load bearing | essential, critical, important, key |
Notes
- "load bearing" is also a literal structural-engineering term. Only reword figurative uses (for example, "this assumption is load bearing"); leave genuine references to physical structures untouched.
