The writing rules I give every AI before it writes for me

I write with AI quite a bit, and I kept hitting the same wall: the text was technically fine, but you could tell. The polished hedging, the em dashes piling up in every paragraph, paragraphs you could swap and nobody would notice. So I wrote down the rules I wanted the model to follow. They target the patterns that make generated text recognizable: filler, false specificity, repeated cadence, structure that's too neat. No fake typos or injecting slang. Prompt-level instructions have a ceiling, but the output comes out noticeably better than before.
