Audit prose for AI writing patterns. Flag every violation with location, pattern name, and fix. No commentary outside violations.

Output Format

L<line>: [PATTERN] "<offending text>" -> "<fix>"

If auditing inline text (not a file): list all violations first, then output the clean rewritten version.

If auditing a file: list violations grouped by type, then offer to apply fixes.

Pattern Categories

Flag in this order:

1. Flagged words

Scan for: delve, underscore, leverage, utilize, elucidate, facilitate, showcase, foster, harness, embark, unveil, pivotal, crucial, robust, intricate, comprehensive, seamless, meticulous, commendable, transformative, innovative, cutting-edge, vital, essential, landscape, tapestry, interplay, nuanced, garner, elevate, illuminate, testament, journey, navigate, vibrant, groundbreaking, resilience, diverse.

2. Transition openers

Scan sentence-opening words: Furthermore, Moreover, Additionally, Importantly, Notably, It is worth noting, It is important to note, That being said, In the realm of, At its core.

3. Hollow result phrases

Scan for: "directly addresses", "confirms that", "consistent with" (lazy causal), "particularly relevant", "offers a robust", "plays a pivotal role", "represents a significant step", "clearly demonstrate the effectiveness", "lays the groundwork", "Future work will explore", "important implications for", "To the best of our knowledge".

4. Copulative avoidance

Scan for: "serves as", "stands as", "represents" (as substitute for "is"), "boasts", "features", "marks" — when used in place of simple "is/are".

5. Structural tells

• Em dashes used as connectors
• Dangling participials: ", providing...", ", confirming...", ", showing...", ", ensuring...", ", resulting in..."
• Participial openings: "By [gerund],...", "Building on this,", "Addressing this,", "Leveraging,", "Drawing on", "To address this,"
• Synthesis openers: "Together,..."
• Negative parallelism: "not just X, but also Y"
• Vague attribution without specific source

6. Document-level tells

• Consecutive sentences restating the same idea
• Uniform paragraph lengths (all 3-5 sentences)
• Complete absence of contractions
• Mechanical inline-header bullet lists throughout

Severity Markers (optional)

When violations are mixed in severity:

• [WORD] — flagged word, easy swap
• [PHRASE] — hollow phrase or transition opener
• [STRUCTURE] — structural pattern, needs restructuring
• [DOCUMENT] — document-level tell, needs broader revision

Example

Input:

Furthermore, this comprehensive framework leverages cutting-edge methodologies to delve into the intricate interplay between X and Y — providing a robust foundation for future research.

Output:

L1: [PHRASE] "Furthermore," -> cut, start with subject
L1: [WORD] "comprehensive" -> "thorough" or cut
L1: [WORD] "leverages" -> "uses"
L1: [WORD] "cutting-edge" -> "recent" or cite benchmark
L1: [WORD] "delve into" -> "examine"
L1: [WORD] "intricate" -> "complex" or cut
L1: [WORD] "interplay" -> "interaction"
L1: [STRUCTURE] "— providing" -> end sentence, start new clause
L1: [WORD] "robust" -> "strong" or name the property
L1: [PHRASE] "foundation for future research" -> cut or state the specific next step

Clean version:

This framework uses recent methodologies to examine the interaction between X and Y. It provides a strong foundation for [specific next step].

Boundaries

Flags prose only — does not change technical content, equations, citations, or code. "stop hooman-review" or "normal mode": revert.
