dbs-ai-check (dbskill): a skill that marks the AI fingerprints in your writing

dbs-ai-check makes your agent scan your text for 22 AI-writing traits and report each one with a quote, and it does not rewrite unless you ask.

You paste a draft and ask for an AI-trace check. The agent returns a report in text order: each hit quotes the original passage, says what is wrong in one or two sentences, and gives the trait number and a severity of strong, medium or weak. It ends with a one-line summary and its guess at the genre. If the text looks fine, it says so.

The skill is built to diagnose, not to disguise. If you say "I want to edit it", it asks one question per hit, from the most severe, about what you meant. It gives edit directions, and gives a concrete rewrite only when you say "help me edit". It replies in your language. Several traits describe Chinese writing habits, such as translation-style phrasing, so it suits Chinese text best.

Good for

Writers and creators who want to see what reads as machine-written
Editors checking Chinese articles, scripts and posts before publishing
Anyone who wants questions about their own style, not an automatic rewrite

What it includes

Scans against 22 traits and writes a report
Reports each hit in text order with a quote, the problem, trait number and severity. Does not edit.
Read · Detection mode (default)
Strong, medium, weak
Strong: almost only AI does this. Medium: AI does it often, humans can too. Weak: needs genre and context.
Severity levels
Adjusts what counts as a hit by genre
Short-video script, long article, social post, academic or formal text. It states its genre guess in the report.
Genre recognition
Lists habits humans use too
For example the contrast pattern counts only at 3 or more in 800 characters, and punchline endings apply to long articles only.
False-positive warnings
One question per hit, most severe first
Asks about the intent behind the trait, then gives a direction. A concrete rewrite comes only after you say "help me edit".
Rewrite coaching ("I want to edit")
Pushes back on "remove the AI flavor" requests
Says removing it does not make the content better and asks who you want to sound like before editing.
Special warnings
Mentions /dbs for other tasks
When the request is out of scope, it says what ability is needed and mentions /dbs if installed.
Follow-up routing

Questions

What does dbs-ai-check do?

It scans a text for 22 traits that read as AI-written, quotes each hit with a severity, and ends with a summary and a genre guess. It does not rewrite by default.

How do I install it in Claude Code?

Use the install command in the box above, which installs this skill alone. The dbskill README also lists an install-everything command for all 34 skills across every agent, and a Claude Code plugin.

Does it work on English text?

It replies in English if you write in English, per SKILL.md. Several of its 22 traits target Chinese writing, such as translation-style phrasing, so expect the best results on Chinese text.

Will it rewrite my text?

Not by default. SKILL.md says it will not hand over an unprompted rewrite or one meant to disguise the text. After the report, say "I want to edit" and it asks questions first.

Is it safe?

SKILL.md bundles no scripts and names no network calls, and the skill works on the text you paste. The text goes to your assistant's model like any other message.

Do I need the rest of dbskill?

No. This skill works on its own. SKILL.md mentions the /dbs router only as an optional next step, and the README says dbs-ai-check can be paired with dbs-plain-writing.

What is the license?

The LICENSE file and README badge say CC BY-NC 4.0, which bars commercial use. GitHub's API shows no recognized license, so read the LICENSE file before using it at work.

How is it different from a humanizer skill?

It is built to diagnose, not to disguise. SKILL.md says it opposes removing AI traces to pass as human, and it asks about your intent before any edit.
