sepia

English | 繁體中文

De-AI writing at the layer that actually gives AI away. Fiction gets its narrative architecture repaired before anyone touches word choice; professional documents (release notes, PR replies, postmortems, tickets, technical articles) each get rules matched to their venue.

A portable Agent Skill for Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, and Antigravity. One canonical SKILL.md, no per-platform forks. Four operations: write, review (diagnose only), refactor (minimal edits), recreate (full rewrite).

Why another humanizer

Every popular humanizer edits word choice and syntax. StoryScope (Russell et al., 2026: 61,608 stories, human + 5 frontier LLMs) showed that a classifier using narrative-structure features alone detects AI fiction at 93.2% macro-F1, and that editing the surface style away barely moves it (95.5% → 93.9%). The tells that survive are architectural: themes explained by the narrator, single-track causally-tidy plots, emotions rendered only as bodily sensation, no real-world references, no reader, linear time, endings resolved by protagonist growth and acceptance.

sepia turns those measured gaps, together with the eleven related studies digested in research/, into a three-pass writing and revision protocol for fiction:

Plus a 30-feature diagnosis rubric and per-model fingerprint corrections (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi).

Professional prose fails differently. The studies point at filler that carries no information, hedging where a judgment was needed, chatbot leftovers, register that ignores the venue, and formatting that looks stamped out. Each document type gets a thin rule file on top of one shared checklist:

The governing principle throughout: calibrate to the human distribution, don't invert the AI one. Humans sit at moderate values; a story with every rule applied is a new fingerprint. The skill selects 3–5 moves per story and leaves slack.

Install

Every platform has its own native install, each paired with its update commands. Default everywhere is user scope — install once, use it in every project.

Claude Code

# install
claude plugin marketplace add Nanako0129/sepia
claude plugin install sepia@sepia --scope user

# update
claude plugin marketplace update sepia
claude plugin update sepia

The in-session /plugin install dialog asks you to pick a scope — choose User there.

Codex

# install
codex plugin marketplace add Nanako0129/sepia
codex plugin add sepia@sepia

# update — refresh the marketplace snapshot, then re-add to pick up the new version
codex plugin marketplace upgrade sepia
codex plugin add sepia@sepia

Grok Build

# install
grok plugin install Nanako0129/sepia --trust

# update
grok plugin update

Grok also auto-discovers a Claude Code install of sepia if you have one; either route works.

Antigravity

No marketplace here — the native install is placing the skill folder, plus the /sepia slash workflow:

# install
git clone https://github.com/Nanako0129/sepia.git ~/.sepia
mkdir -p ~/.gemini/config/skills ~/.gemini/antigravity/global_workflows
cp -R ~/.sepia/skills/sepia ~/.gemini/config/skills/sepia
cp ~/.sepia/.agents/workflows/sepia.md ~/.gemini/antigravity/global_workflows/sepia.md

# update
git -C ~/.sepia pull
rm -rf ~/.gemini/config/skills/sepia && cp -R ~/.sepia/skills/sepia ~/.gemini/config/skills/sepia
cp ~/.sepia/.agents/workflows/sepia.md ~/.gemini/antigravity/global_workflows/sepia.md

All four at once (alternative)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nanako0129/sepia/main/install.sh | bash

Clones the repo to ~/.sepia (override with SEPIA_HOME) and installs at user scope for all four platforms; re-running the same line is also the update. Prefer to inspect first? Clone it yourself and run ./install.sh from the checkout. Either way it installs:

Skills CLI (alternative, 77+ agents)

npx skills add Nanako0129/sepia -g     # -g = user scope; the default is project
npx skills update -g                   # update

Project scope (alternative)

When one repo should pin its own copy, commit skills/sepia/ into that repo as .agents/skills/sepia (Codex + Antigravity) or .claude/skills/sepia (Claude Code).
