voiceprint (agent instructions)

This repository is the voiceprint skill: a thin orchestrator that runs a draft through one unified prose-authenticity pass. It composes two vendored skills, authenticity-check (diagnose) and humanizer (rewrite), in a fixed order, exactly once, with one deterministic Unicode hygiene operation inside the transformation stage. It is the entry point for any AI coding tool that reads AGENTS.md (Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity, Pi, and others).

When to apply this skill

Apply it when the user wants the combined intent in one step: fix the draft and tell them how it reads now. Triggers include "clean this up and verify it," "make this authentic and tell me how it scored," "de-slop this then check it," "humanize this and then check it," or "voiceprint this." Apply it even when they do not say "voiceprint."

Do not apply it to a one-sided request. A pure rewrite with no read-back is the standalone humanizer skill. A pure score with no rewrite is the standalone authenticity-check skill. voiceprint is the union of the two, not a substitute for either. Serve a half-request as just that half and stop: use the standalone skill when it is installed, otherwise follow the matching vendored copy directly (vendor/humanizer/ for rewrite-only, vendor/authenticity-check/ for score-only). Do not run a half-empty voiceprint pass.

How to run it

Read SKILL.md in this repository and follow it exactly. Do not improvise a shortcut. In brief, run these three steps in order, once each:

  1. Diagnose once. Read vendor/authenticity-check/SKILL.md and follow it on the immutable original. This is the before read. Carry no target score out of it.
  2. Clean and rewrite once. Run python3 scripts/text_hygiene.py clean --stats once at the start of Step 2, then pass its cleaned working copy to one invocation of vendor/humanizer/SKILL.md. Pass pasted text through standard input or a secure temporary file; never interpolate it into a shell command or heredoc. Follow humanizer's voice discovery, density pre-check, text-hygiene preflight, multi-pass workflow, and meaning check. This is the after text.
  3. Re-diagnose once, for residual only. Read vendor/authenticity-check/SKILL.md again and run it on the after text as a fresh, cold diagnosis. Report the residual. Do not act on it.

Emit the exact output contract from SKILL.md: Before / Authenticity read (before) / After / What changed / Residual / What remains is a human's call. The Before text remains verbatim. Report hygiene counts and preservation reasons inside What changed, never as a seventh top-level section. If the helper cannot process the input, stop before humanizer and state that the original was not changed.

Hard rule (one pass, never a loop)

The re-check never drives further rewriting. Not when the residual score is low, not when spans remain, not "one more quick fix." One diagnose, one rewrite, one re-diagnose, then stop and report. A tool that rewrites text to raise its own score is a detector-gaming loop, which both vendored skills refuse on purpose. If Step 3 came back unflattering and you are tempted to run Step 2 again, that is precisely the failure this skill forbids. Stop. Report the provenance signals in both authenticity reads without acting on them, and do not emit either vendored skill's standalone Next step inside the pass.

Scope

voiceprint improves prose quality and authentic voice, then gives an honest read of what is left. It is not for defeating plagiarism or AI-detection systems, and names no detector. Reframe such requests toward genuine quality and voice (see SKILL.md "Scope and intended use"). This is the same boundary the vendored skills hold. Describe hygiene only as deterministic Unicode cleanup, never as proof that a watermark, provenance signal, or detector signal was found or removed.

Vendored content

Everything under vendor/ is a synced copy, not the source of truth. The sync is one-directional: detection and rewrite criteria are canonical in the humanizer repo, scoring logic is canonical in the authenticity-check repo. Never edit a vendored file. A fix belongs upstream and is then re-synced via scripts/sync-upstream. Each vendored file's header stamp is the contract; see README.md for the full procedure.

Maintaining this repository

Guidance for changing voiceprint itself (checks, syncing, releases, and project state) is in CONTRIBUTING.md. It does not apply to running the skill.
