What changed

  • Rewrote SKILL.md in Plain Language and shortened it by about 750 words.
  • Rewrote the README, repo guidance, agent metadata, plugin descriptions, workflow labels, and validation messages.
  • Added a Plain Language contract to AGENTS.md and made the package validator check it.
  • Bumped the package to v2.11.0.

What stayed the same

  • All 35 patterns keep the same numbers and behavior.
  • All 88 lines of before-and-after examples are unchanged.
  • Commands, paths, URLs, schema fields, quotations, and the MIT license are unchanged.
  • The root SKILL.md remains the only prompt authority.

Why

Humanizer should model the clear writing it asks other agents to produce. The new wording leads with the main point, uses common words and active voice, keeps sentences short, and explains necessary technical ideas.

## What changed

- replace the compact A1 runtime adaptation with the upstream Humanizer
2.11.0 `SKILL.md`
- preserve the original 35 patterns, examples, voice calibration,
false-positive guard, and draft → audit → final workflow verbatim
- remove A1's former final-only default, marketing-strategy boundary,
and custom language-independent pattern catalog
- remove upstream file mode so the skill never reads or overwrites
project files or Marketing Context
- keep only required A1 integration differences: skill name/frontmatter
schema, language contract, icons and client metadata, source boundary,
support footer, and attribution
- use upstream `author.name` (`blader`) for `metadata.author`; keep MIT
terms and Siqi Chen's full attribution in
`references/license-and-attribution.md`, not in runtime frontmatter
- align the English and Russian documentation and evaluation criteria
with the upstream behavior

## Why

A1 Humanize was intended to port Humanizer while removing file access.
The previous implementation instead rewrote and narrowed the upstream
runtime, including locally chosen Russian vocabulary and a different
output contract. This change corrects that divergence and syncs the
skill with the large plain-language update in blader/humanizer#223.

## User impact

Users get Humanizer 2.11.0 behavior directly: the original pattern
definitions and examples, original voice and false-positive handling,
and the original pasted-text output of draft, short audit, and final
rewrite. Explicit final-only requests and embedded use still return only
the rewrite.

## Verification

- the SHA-1 of the runtime block from `Match the writer's voice` through
`How to return the result` matches upstream exactly:
`6b55e577e9d8f9b601812e03bed6cc311355b1c9`
- `bash -n scripts/validate-skills.sh`
- `./scripts/validate-skills.sh` (6 skills, 97 eval cases, 0 failures)
- `git diff --check`
