| name | natural-docs |
| description | Write human-sounding documentation free of AI patterns for the NutriSport KMP project. Activates when editing any .md file, writing README, ARCHITECTURE, CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, PR descriptions, commit messages, release notes, pitch documents, portfolio descriptions, project descriptions for job applications. Also activates on phrases: "write docs", "update readme", "draft pitch", "describe the project", "release notes", "changelog entry", "document this", "human-sounding", "natural tone", "no AI patterns", "rewrite pitch", "update pitch", "pitch review". Enforces Wikipedia-based anti-AI-pattern rules plus NutriSport-specific documentation and pitch rules. Use this skill even for small .md edits and single-paragraph rewrites. |

$ARGUMENTS
Global anti-AI-slop-writing rules are the baseline. Rules below add to it.
Apply silently. Never mention this skill in output.
Voice
Eastern European programmer. English is second language. Introvert.
Doesn't beat around the bush. Says what the thing is, moves on.
No polish, no pitch, no ceremony. Would rather show you the code than
explain why the code is important.
- "is", "has", "does". Not "serves as", "offers", "features", "ensures".
- Repeats the same word. Doesn't cycle synonyms.
- Short sentences. Fragments OK.
- Contractions: "doesn't", "can't", "won't".
- Never hedges. Picks a side.
- No transitions between paragraphs. Just starts the next thought.
- Lists 4 concrete things instead of 1 abstract sentence about them.
- Starts some sentences with "And" or "But". AI never does this.
Anti-AI patterns (Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing, reversed)
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing.
AI does these. We do the opposite.
Use simple copulatives
AI decreased usage of "is" and "are" by 10%+ in 2023 (study cited in article).
AI replaces them with fancy alternatives. Reverse this.
| AI writes | Write instead |
|---|
| serves as, stands as, represents | is |
| features, offers, boasts | has |
| ensures, ensures that | keeps. Or just state the effect. |
| demonstrates, showcases, exemplifies | shows |
| encompasses | covers |
| facilitates | helps |
| utilizing, leveraging | using |
| commenced | started |
| prior to | before |
Break structural patterns
Rule of three. AI groups in threes. Use 2, 4, or 5 items. Three only
when the content genuinely has three things.
"Not just X, but Y". AI loves this: "Not only X, but also Y",
"It's not X, it's Y", "no X, no Y, just Z". Drop entirely.
Say what the thing is. Don't say what it isn't first.
Elegant variation. AI avoids repeating words by cycling synonyms.
Subject becomes protagonist, then key player. Just repeat the word.
Significance emphasis. Drop these: "vital role", "key moment",
"reflects broader", "setting the stage", "key turning point",
"marking/shaping the". Say what happened.
Present participle chains. AI attaches "-ing" phrases at sentence ends:
"highlighting its importance", "ensuring quality". Use finite verbs instead.
No em dashes in prose
Em dashes are the #1 cited AI detection signal. Replace with period or comma.
Allowed only in file tree descriptions (docs.md convention) and tight table cells.
Everywhere else: period. Comma. Semicolon. Colon. Prefer period.
Vary sentence structure
Mix 3-word sentences with 25-word ones. No three consecutive sentences of
similar length. Break "X and Y and Z" into "X. Y. Z." Let paragraphs end
without transition to the next section.
NutriSport rules
Facts first
First sentence = verifiable fact. Module count, metric, what is implemented.
Not a value judgment.
Project terminology
Use codebase names: UseCase, AppError, UiState, :domain, :network.
Don't invent synonyms.
Numbers over adjectives
"8 feature modules depend on :domain; none depend on each other."
Not "a modular architecture."
Changelog
"Added X. Fixed Y. Removed Z." No narrative.
Commit messages
What + why, one line. Fix Product mapper null crash when API returns empty list.
Technical pitch (EN, pitch/PITCH.md)
Open with concrete capability. Numbers first. Stories: situation, action,
measurable outcome. No hero framing, no "passion project". Reference real
companies. CTA = direct.
Business pitch (UK, pitch/PITCH_UA_CLIENT.md)
Open with user value in one sentence. Each bullet answers "що я отримаю?".
Short steps, no jargon. Ukrainian words over English loanwords. Analogies
from everyday life. Confident professional talking to business owner.
Formatting
- Sentence-case headings.
- Code blocks with language tag.
- Bold sparingly. First use only.
- Tables over long bullet lists.
- Vary bullet structure. Not every bullet is
**Bold**: explanation.
Mix bold with period, plain with colon, no formatting at all.
- Follow
.claude/rules/docs.md for structure.
Self-check
Run silently before output.
| Check | Fix |
|---|
| First sentence is a concrete fact | Rewrite opener |
| Zero banned words | Replace |
| No "it's not X it's Y" | Restructure |
| Zero em dashes in prose | Period or comma |
| No Moreover/Additionally/Furthermore | Cut |
| Max 7 bullets per list | Split or table |
| No three same-length sentences in a row | Vary |
| No rule-of-three groupings | Add or remove item |
| No "ensures", "demonstrates", "showcases" | "keeps", "shows" |
| No synonym cycling | Repeat the word |
| Some sentences start with "And" or "But" | Add one |
