What is it?
shuorenhua is an agent skill, a set of editing rules that runs inside tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and ChatGPT. You paste a draft and it returns a cleaner version: greetings with no content, announcements, empty thanks, and repeated sentences are removed, while numbers, dates, version numbers, conditions, commitments and the author's tone are kept.
It works in several modes. The default lets it delete, merge and reorder sentences. Bounded and in-place modes limit changes to wording within a sentence, which suits text where sentence structure matters. A separate plain-style request removes promotional wording when the user asks for it. Chinese is the primary target, and English input is supported as well. It is not an AI-authorship detector and makes no claim about passing AI detection.
The project ships with a benchmark of 123 cases, including cases where the input is already fine and should be left alone. Known limits are documented, such as conservative handling of evaluative praise and weaker results on long articles.
