* Bind voice-profile targets to Never-inject guardrails (fixes #100)

* fix-ups for #133: sync generated copies, changelog, and formatting

- drop the unrelated Dockerfile
- give the guardrail intro line its own paragraph (leading space folded
  it into the previous one) and fix the professional-profile comma splice
- bump plugin.json to 3.25.1 and regenerate the bundled plugin skill and
  cursor rule via the sync scripts
- add the 3.25.1 changelog entry crediting @mahinNadir

npm test green (39/39 check-style, full suite passes).

Cursor Rule — avoid-ai-writing

Drop-in Cursor rule that ports the avoid-ai-writing skill to Cursor's .mdc rule format. Functionally identical to the upstream skill — same tier vocabulary, same context profiles, same detect / rewrite modes.

Install

Copy avoid-ai-writing.mdc into your project's .cursor/rules/ directory:

mkdir -p .cursor/rules
curl -o .cursor/rules/avoid-ai-writing.mdc \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing/main/cursor-rules/avoid-ai-writing.mdc

By default the rule activates on .md, .mdx, .txt, .rst, and .adoc files (via the globs field in the frontmatter). Edit the globs in the rule file if you want it on other file types — or set alwaysApply: true if you want it on every Cursor session.

Trigger phrases

Once installed, ask Cursor:

  • "Remove AI-isms from this section."
  • "Audit this draft for AI writing patterns."
  • "Make this sound less like AI."
  • "Run avoid-ai-writing in detect mode." (flag without rewriting)

Old Cursor projects

If you're on a Cursor version that still uses .cursorrules (single file at repo root), you can append avoid-ai-writing.mdc's body (the part below the --- frontmatter) directly to your existing .cursorrules file. Modern Cursor projects should prefer the .cursor/rules/*.mdc layout.

Updating

This file is generated from SKILL.md by scripts/sync-cursor-rules.sh: Cursor-specific frontmatter (with the version derived from SKILL.md), plus three portability rewrites for spans that reference files in this repo — a copied-out rule can't run node detector/validate.js, so that check becomes a manual one. CI regenerates the rule on every SKILL.md change and fails when the committed copy drifts, so the two can no longer diverge silently. (They did once: this port sat at v3.16.0 while SKILL.md reached v3.22.3, which is what bought the guard.) Don't edit the .mdc by hand — edit SKILL.md and re-run the script.
