Human Tone
Paste any text or give any writing task and this skill rewrites it to sound like a person wrote it, not a marketing department or an AI. Kills banned phrases (seamlessly, leverage, dive into, game-changing), strips em dashes, cuts filler words, and enforces plain direct language. Use it any time the goal is writing that sounds genuinely human.
