Tagore

"The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough." — Rabindranath Tagore

A skill for Claude Code, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Goose, and Hermes (NousResearch agent runtime). Run /tagore on the AI-drafted prose you just generated; it rewrites the text to sound human and scores how close it got. Named in homage to Rabindranath Tagore, whose prose carried what frontier models reach for and miss: a point of view, specificity over abstraction, and restraint over puffery.

What it does

Tagore attacks slop in two directions at once:

  • Removes the tells. 29 cataloged AI patterns get scrubbed: significance inflation, em dash overuse, vague attributions, AI vocabulary, rule of three, copula avoidance, and more.
  • Adds what's missing. Point of view, stakes, specificity, restraint, varied rhythm, and trust in the reader.

The skill runs every rewrite through a six-stage pipeline ending in an 8-dimension scoring rubric (5 mechanics + 3 substance) with a 56/80 pass threshold and subtotal floors so a piece can't pass on mechanics alone.

Why merge two skills

Tagore is a synthesis of two complementary skills:

Source Contribution
humanizer by blader (based on Wikipedia "Signs of AI writing") 29-pattern catalog, voice calibration, personality/soul section, self-audit loop, full worked example
stop-slop by Hardik Pandya 8 core principles, 12-item pre-delivery checklist, scoring rubric

humanizer is a deep catalog with a pipeline. stop-slop is a tight rulebook with a scoring gate. Tagore fuses them into a single workflow and adds three substance dimensions (Specificity, Restraint, Voice) that neither skill scored on its own.

Install

One-liner (auto-detect)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apurvrdx1/tagore/main/install.sh | bash

The installer detects every supported harness on your system and installs Tagore into each. It also drops a universal symlink at ~/.agents/skills/tagore/ so any agent honoring the cross-tool convention can find it.

Install for one harness only

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apurvrdx1/tagore/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --platform claude

Supported --platform values: claude, opencode, copilot, codex, gemini, goose, hermes, agents (universal).

Install for every detected harness

git clone https://github.com/apurvrdx1/tagore.git && cd tagore && ./install.sh --all

Manual install

Pick your harness and copy the tagore/ directory (with SKILL.md inside) into the matching location:
