- Bilingual docs: Chinese explanations with English before/after rewriting examples for non-native scholars
- Rewriting principles and social-science pattern libraries (examples_CN, rewriting-principles_CN, social-science-patterns
- Targets AI-generated English that sounds generic or detectable—not translation from Chinese drafts
- README_CN and QUICKSTART_CN clarify audience: Chinese-speaking researchers writing English papers
- 4 bilingual doc areas called out in repo notes (examples_CN, rewriting-principles_CN, social-science-patterns_CN, README

What problem does it solve?
Your English paper sections sound like generic LLM output and undermine credibility with reviewers even when the underlying research is solid.
Who is it for?
Grad students and indie researchers writing English social-science manuscripts with AI drafts who want structured rewrite guidance, not literal translation.
Skip if: Pure Chinese manuscript translation, citation formatting-only tasks, or users seeking to evade legitimate academic integrity policies.
When should I use this skill?
You have AI-generated English academic text to revise for natural scholarly tone in social-science contexts.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You receive revised English passages that follow documented rewriting principles with clearer scholarly voice while you retain Chinese-language rationale in the bundled guides.
- Humanized English passages
- Edits aligned to documented rewriting patterns
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Primary shelf is Build docs because the deliverable is polished written artifacts (papers, sections) rather than distribution or analytics. Humanizing and structuring academic text is documentation and long-form writing work inside the product you are building (thesis, report, manuscript).
How it compares
Use as a disciplined rewrite coach with bilingual docs—not as a bulk paraphrase API or general marketing copy humanizer.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is humanize-academic-writing for?
Non-native English academic writers—often Chinese-speaking social scientists—who use AI drafts and need help polishing English sections with explicit principles.
When should I use humanize-academic-writing?
During Build docs when drafting or revising paper sections, discussion chapters, or grant prose after an initial AI-generated outline or paragraph pass.
Is humanize-academic-writing safe to install?
