# Humanizer (EN + RU auto-routing)

Remove AI-generation patterns from text. This skill bundles two MIT-licensed
upstream rulesets and routes the input to the right one based on language.

This file is a router. The actual humanization rules live in
`references/humanizer-en.md` and `references/humanizer-ru.md` and are
authoritative. Do not paraphrase, summarise, or "improve" them — load and follow.

## Process

### Step 1 — Receive input

Accept the text to humanize as: a pasted block, a file path (use `Read`), or the
current selection. If the input is unclear, ask the user once.

### Step 2 — Honour explicit override

Scan the user's request (case-insensitive) for an explicit language directive:

- **EN override** — the request contains any of: `as english`, `english only`,
  `humanize in english`, `на английском`, `обработай как английский`.
- **RU override** — the request contains any of: `as russian`, `russian only`,
  `humanize in russian`, `на русском`, `обработай как русский`.

If an override is present, skip step 3 and jump to step 4 with the chosen language.

### Step 3 — Detect language

Count letters in the input (ignore digits, punctuation, whitespace):

- `cyr` = number of letters matching `[А-Яа-яЁё]`
- `lat` = number of letters matching `[A-Za-z]`
- `total = cyr + lat`

Decide:

- **`total < 20`** (input too short to classify reliably) → use `AskUserQuestion`
  with options "English", "Russian".
- **`cyr / total >= 0.6`** → Russian.
- **`cyr / total <= 0.1`** → English.
- **Otherwise** (mixed, Cyrillic ratio between 10 % and 60 % exclusive) → use `AskUserQuestion` with options
  "Apply Russian rules", "Apply English rules", "Run both passes (RU then EN)".

### Step 4 — Load the chosen ruleset

- For English: `Read references/humanizer-en.md`
- For Russian: `Read references/humanizer-ru.md`
- For "both passes": load both. Execute RU first, then EN on the RU output.

The loaded file is authoritative. Treat its instructions as if they were yours.

### Step 4b — Russian only: resolve the ruleset's own file paths

The Russian ruleset is a thin prompt that names three companion files. Every one
of those paths is relative to *this* file, not to `references/`:

- `references/catalog.md` — the 54 patterns with before/after examples and the
  marker word lists. The ruleset tells you to open it in full-edit and audit
  modes. Open it there; without it you have the process but not the tells.
- `edit-log.md` — accumulated editing rules from the owner's own feedback. Read
  it in the ruleset's Step 1. It ships empty, so an empty file is normal and
  means there is nothing extra to apply.
- `scripts/scan.py` — the deterministic scanner the ruleset runs before auditing.

Otherwise follow the ruleset verbatim, including its fallbacks when Python or the
scanner packages are missing.

There is no English counterpart; upstream does not ship one. Skip this step for EN.

### Step 5 — Execute

Apply the diagnostic, rewrite, and audit process described in the loaded
reference verbatim. Do not skip the audit pass. Do not invent new rules.

If the user provided a writing sample for voice calibration, pass it through to
the chosen ruleset's voice-calibration section as-is, regardless of sample
language.

### Step 6 — Output

Use the output format specified by the loaded reference (typically:
draft → audit → final → list of changes). Do not change the format.

The English ruleset defines three invocation modes and the format follows from
which one applies: pasted text, a file to rewrite in place, or an embedded call
from another task, which gets the final prose and nothing else. Pick the mode
that matches how this skill was reached rather than defaulting to the first.

## Rules of the road

- The router never edits the rulesets, `references/`, or `scripts/`. They are
  vendored verbatim; refresh from upstream is a separate procedure documented in
  `../../../README.md`. The one file that may grow locally is `edit-log.md`, and
  only by appending an entry in the format that file specifies.
- The router never invents new patterns or merges English/Russian rules.
- The scanner is advisory. Its score never overrides the ruleset's own judgement,
  and a missing Python or a failed run never blocks the pass.
- "Both passes" runs RU first because RU's hard bans include em-dash removal
  (which already covers EN pattern #14) — running EN first would let dashes
  re-enter via RU's rewrites.
