Your website, video, and social are the first thing customers judge. When they look dated or scattered, good prospects quietly walk away.
The Anti AI Tell Style Guide is a free Claude skill that removes the writing patterns readers now recognize as machine output. Language models fall into habits: contrastive negation, three-item lists in every sentence, a closing line that restates the point as wisdom, narration about what the writing is doing, and a small set of overused words such as seamless, robust, leverage, and comprehensive. Readers register those patterns even when they cannot name them, and the copy reads as filler. This skill file states the rules as hard constraints so the model applies them while drafting instead of during a cleanup pass. It covers punctuation, sentence length variation, banned vocabulary, forbidden structures, and the rhythm problems that make paragraphs feel uniform. It also tells the model what to do instead, which matters more than the ban list, because a model given only restrictions writes around them and produces something worse. We use this file on client blog posts, service pages, and email copy at Make Waves Marketing, and it is the same version our writers work from. Copy the markdown, paste it at the top of a writing conversation, and give it your brief underneath. Pair it with a voice profile when you have one, since this guide handles structure and word choice while the profile handles tone. Edit the ban list to add words your industry overuses.
