Text Humanizer

Detect and remove AI-generated artifacts from code and documentation. Process commits, files, or folders with parallel sub-agents.

Language References

| Language | Reference | Load When | |----------|-----------|-----------| | Java/Kotlin | @reference/java.md | *.java, *.kt, *.groovy, Spring, Maven/Gradle | | TypeScript/JS/React | @reference/typescript.md | *.ts, *.tsx, *.js, *.jsx, Node.js, React | | Python | @reference/python.md | *.py, Django, FastAPI, Flask |

Multi-language projects: Load ALL relevant references.

---

Argument

First token = scope (required):

| Input | Action | |-------|--------| | None | Use AskUserQuestion: "What to humanize?" Options: "Commit hash (git diff)" / "File path" / "Folder path" | | Commit hash (7+ hex) | Process all text files from commit | | File path | Process single file | | Folder path | Process all files in folder | | "entire project" | Use AskUserQuestion: "Too broad — specify scope." Options: "Specific folder" / "File pattern (e.g. src/**/*.java)" |

Everything after first token = custom prompt (optional). Free-form text, no quotes needed. Overrides or extends default humanization rules for this run. Passed to every sub-agent prompt.

Custom Prompt Handling

1. Parse: split args into scope (first token) and customPrompt (rest)
2. If customPrompt is present, prepend it to every sub-agent Task prompt as:

   CUSTOM INSTRUCTIONS (highest priority, override defaults):
   <customPrompt>
   

3. Custom prompt wins over default rules on conflict

Architecture

Orchestrator -> Detect Language -> Load Reference -> Analyze -> Classify -> Split (3-10 blocks) -> Parallel Task agents -> Aggregate

Phase 1: Scope Analysis

Commit Mode

Process all text files from commit. No extension filtering: git diff --name-only <hash>^..<hash>

File Inclusion Rules

| Include | Exclude | |---------|---------| | Source code (*.java, *.kt, *.py, *.ts, *.js, etc.) | Binary files (*.class, *.pyc, *.exe) | | Config (*.xml, *.yaml, *.yml, *.json, *.toml) | Images (*.png, *.jpg, *.gif, *.ico) | | Docs (*.md, *.txt, *.rst) | Archives (*.zip, *.tar, *.gz) | | Build files (pom.xml, package.json, pyproject.toml) | Generated (target/, build/, dist/, node_modules/) | | SQL (*.sql, *.ddl) | Lock files, IDE files |

Path Mode

find <path> -type f \( -name "*.java" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.md" \) | grep -v -E "(target/|node_modules/|\.git/|build/|dist/|__pycache__/)"

Block Count

| Files | Lines | Blocks | |-------|-------|--------| | 1-2 | <200 | 1 (direct) | | 3-5 | <500 | 3 | | 6-10 | 500-1500 | 5 | | 11-20 | 1500-3000 | 7 | | 21+ | 3000+ | 10 |

Single file: process directly without Task delegation.

Phase 2: File Classification

Haiku (Simple)

| Type | Patterns | |------|----------| | Config | *.properties, *.yaml, *.yml, *.toml, *.ini | | Data | *.json, *.csv | | Text | *.txt, *.md | | Simple SQL | Single CREATE/ALTER, no CTEs/subqueries | | Small files | <50 lines, no logic |

Sonnet (Complex)

| Type | Patterns | |------|----------| | Source with logic | Business logic, algorithms | | Tests | Test files for any framework | | Complex SQL | CTEs, window functions, JOINs, subqueries | | Config classes | Framework configuration |

Note: See language-specific references for detailed classification rules.

Phase 3: Block Formation

Group files by type, complexity (avoid mixed haiku/sonnet), line count balance. Keep related files together (same package/directory).

Data files block: YAML, JSON, CSV with comments → haiku for unicode fixes

Phase 4: Parallel Execution

Launch all Task calls in single message for true parallelism.

Task(subagent_type="developer", model="haiku", prompt="> **Context:** BC_PLUGIN_ROOT is available in your context (injected by pre-task.mjs hook).\n\n[CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS_IF_ANY]\nBlock 1: [files] [rules] Return JSON")
Task(subagent_type="developer", model="sonnet", prompt="> **Context:** BC_PLUGIN_ROOT is available in your context (injected by pre-task.mjs hook).\n\n[CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS_IF_ANY]\nBlock 2: [files] [rules] Return JSON")

If custom prompt was provided, prepend to EVERY sub-agent prompt (after the Context line):

> **Context:** BC_PLUGIN_ROOT is available in your context (injected by pre-task.mjs hook).

CUSTOM INSTRUCTIONS (highest priority, override defaults):
<user's custom prompt text>
---

<output_format> { "files_processed": N, "changes": [{"file": "path", "removed_comments": N, "fixed_unicode": N, "simplified_docs": N}] } </output_format>

Phase 5: Aggregation

Collect JSON results from all agents → merge statistics → generate unified report.

AI Artifacts (Universal)

| Pattern | Action | |---------|--------| | // Added by AI, // Claude suggestion, // AI-generated, // Generated by | Delete | | # Added by AI, # Claude suggestion | Delete | | /* Suggested by */ | Delete block | | AI-invented issue numbers (BUG-001, FIX-123, ISSUE-1) | Delete | | Unicode long dash (U+2014) | Replace → -- | | Unicode arrows (→, ←, ⇒) | Replace → ->, <-, => | | Unicode bullets (•, ◦) | Replace → - or * | | Unicode quotes (" " ' ') | Replace → " or ' |

Real vs Fake Issue References

Keep project-specific ticket patterns (INTELDEV-XXXXX, JIRA-XXXXX, GH-XXX). Remove generic AI-invented patterns (BUG-001, FIX-123, ISSUE-42).

Documentation Cleanup (General Principles)

| Remove | Keep | |--------|------| | Private/internal function docs | Public API documentation | | Test file documentation | Complex algorithm explanation | | Obvious classes/functions (name = purpose) | Non-obvious behavior/side effects | | Trivial parameter docs (restates name) | @throws/Raises with conditions | | Trivial return docs (restates function) | External API contracts |

Key Rule: Never convert block docs to inline comments. Delete unnecessary docs entirely; for useful descriptions with trivial params, strip params and keep description.

Comments (Universal)

Keep WHY, remove WHAT.

| Remove | Keep | |--------|------| | // Initialize the list | // Retry 3x due to flaky external API | | // Loop through items | // Uses UTC to match database timezone | | // Check if null | // Thread-safe: synchronized on class lock | | Stale // TODO: refactor this | // HACK: workaround for <issue-link> |

Formatting (Universal)

| Issue | Fix | |-------|-----| | /* single line */ | // single line or # single line | | 3+ blank lines | Max 2 | | Trailing whitespace | Remove | | Mixed tabs/spaces | Spaces |

</humanization_rules>

File Type Rules

| Type | Rules | |------|-------| | Source code | Full doc cleanup per language reference | | Test files | Remove all docs, keep test descriptions | | SQL/XML | Preserve structural comments | | Markdown | Remove AI disclosures, fix unicode | | YAML/Properties | Fix unicode, keep config explanations | | JSON/CSV | Check for comments with unicode, usually skip |

YAML/Data Files

Check for unicode in comments. Section comments are valuable.

| Action | Example | |--------|---------| | FIX | # Lane 90001→10001 → # Lane 90001->10001 | | KEEP | # ===== VAN loads for test ===== | | SKIP | Pure data without comments |

SQL/XML Comments

Structural comments are valuable. Analyze neighboring files first.

| Action | Example | |--------|---------| | KEEP | Section headers -- ============ TABLES ============ | | KEEP | Block separators <!-- ===== Mappers ===== --> | | KEEP | Column/field documentation | | REMOVE | Exact duplicates, AI markers |

---

Custom Prompt Mode

Custom prompt overrides or extends default rules. Use for:

• Restricting scope: "only remove AI artifacts, don't touch docs"
• Adding rules: "also remove all @author tags"
• Excluding files: "skip test files"
• Style reference: "use style from src/main/Service.java as reference"

Output Format

## Humanization Report

### Execution Summary
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total files | N |
| Blocks | M |
| Haiku/Sonnet | X/Y |

### Block Results
[Per-block tables with file metrics]

### Totals
| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Files processed | N |
| Comments removed | X |
| Docs simplified | Y |
| Unicode fixed | Z |

Best Practices

• Load language reference first
• Process all commit files (include yaml/data files)
• Check yaml for unicode (comments may have arrows)
• Preserve valuable comments (they add context)
• Skip binaries (avoid corruption)
• Honor style reference if provided
• Keep public API docs
• Group files by complexity
• Launch agents in parallel

Error Handling

| Error | Action | |-------|--------| | Agent timeout | Continue with other blocks | | File read error | Skip, note in report | | Binary file | Skip, note in report | | No changes | Report "No humanization required" |
