AI Smell Detector is a diagnostic skill that evaluates text for machine-generated or robotic linguistic characteristics. Rather than returning a binary pass/fail result, it applies a structured rubric to assign a severity score on a 0–5 scale, giving a calibrated measure of how strongly a piece of text resembles AI-generated output.
The skill identifies specific linguistic signals that correlate with AI detection filters. These include abstract noun stacking, excessive hedging language, symmetrical paragraph structures, generic openings, and repetitive paraphrasing. By naming the exact patterns present, it allows targeted revision rather than a full rewrite.
The output is a structured diagnostic report containing a severity score, a ranked list of the strongest detected signals, and a strategic recommendation for remediation. This separates style issues from meaning issues, which is useful when triaging a draft before committing editing resources.
This skill is designed for developers building content-quality pipelines and for content managers who need objective, reproducible feedback on drafts. It addresses a known limitation of simply prompting a general-purpose language model to self-evaluate: that approach tends to produce vague feedback or false positives. The rubric-based approach aims to produce consistent, actionable output instead.
