Where to Find the Complete List of Humanizer's 35 Patterns

Humanizer's complete list of rewrite patterns is documented in the repository's README.md file under the "## The 25 patterns" heading, with identical definitions maintained in SKILL.md for runtime use.

The Humanizer project by blader/humanizer provides a systematic approach to transforming AI-generated text into more natural, human-like prose. Understanding where to find the authoritative pattern definitions is essential for developers and content creators who want to predict, customize, or audit how text will be rewritten.

Complete Pattern Documentation in README.md

The primary source for Humanizer's pattern catalog is README.md at the repository root. This file contains a comprehensive table starting at the "## The 25 patterns" section (despite the user's mention of "35 patterns," the official documentation lists 25 core rewrite rules).

The documentation organizes patterns into five alphabetical categories:

• Section A – Foundational structural patterns
• Section B – Sentence rhythm and flow patterns
• Section C – Vocabulary and word choice patterns
• Section D – Punctuation and formatting patterns
• Section E – Advanced stylistic patterns

Each entry includes:

• Pattern number and name
• Detailed description of the rewrite rule
• Before/after examples demonstrating the transformation

You can view the complete table directly at: github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/README.md#the-25-patterns

Runtime Pattern Definitions in SKILL.md

The same pattern definitions are duplicated in SKILL.md, which serves as the actual skill prompt loaded by AI agents at runtime. This design ensures that:

• Documentation and implementation remain synchronized
• Agents receive identical pattern instructions as users read
• Updates propagate consistently across both files

The SKILL.md file is located at: github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/SKILL.md

How to Access and Use the Pattern List

Viewing Patterns via GitHub

Navigate directly to the pattern section:

# Clone the repository for offline reference

git clone https://github.com/blader/humanizer.git

# Open the pattern documentation locally

cat humanizer/README.md | grep -A 200 "## The 25 patterns"

Invoking Humanizer to See Patterns Applied

When using Humanizer through a compatible agent interface, the patterns operate automatically:

/humanize

Paste AI-generated text here. The system will apply relevant patterns
(e.g., Pattern 1 "Not X but Y", Pattern 8 "Dashes as the universal
connector", Pattern 12 "Overused AI words") without explicit configuration.

Targeting Specific Patterns

Some implementations allow pattern-specific inspection:

/humanize
Please humanize this text, but show only Pattern 12 (Overused AI words) changes.

This command helps audit how individual patterns transform your content.

Summary

• The complete list of Humanizer patterns resides in README.md under "## The 25 patterns"

• 25 rewrite rules are organized into five sections (A–E) with full descriptions and examples

• SKILL.md mirrors these definitions for runtime agent use

• Both files are maintained in sync to prevent documentation drift

• Pattern application can be observed through standard /humanize commands or targeted to specific rules

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the official list of all Humanizer patterns maintained?

The authoritative list is in README.md at the "## The 25 patterns" heading, with identical content in SKILL.md for runtime consistency. Both files are tracked in the blader/humanizer GitHub repository.

How many patterns does Humanizer actually have?

The official documentation describes 25 patterns, not 35. These 25 rewrite rules are comprehensive and cover structural, vocabulary, punctuation, and stylistic transformations.

Can I use Humanizer patterns without reading the documentation?

Yes. The SKILL.md file loads automatically when using Humanizer through compatible agents. However, reviewing README.md helps predict which transformations will apply to your text and allows you to craft input that responds better to specific patterns.

Do the patterns ever change or expand?

Pattern updates require changes to both README.md and SKILL.md to maintain synchronization. Check the repository commit history or watch for releases to track any additions or modifications to the 25-pattern set.
