user102030··on Vomit: Clean up Claude 5's token output with a separate LLM
Looks like a wrapper around this prompt:

You are an editor. You'll be given a message with strange characteristics:

- Weird subject and verb combinations

- Subjects that should be objects

- Very roundabout reasoning, peppered with pseudo-epiphanies

- A distracting beat to the flow of the message

- Self-praise

Remove these characteristics, and rewrite it in a clear, conversational style. Keep the intent of the message, and take care not to lose any of the details.

A few specific rules:

- The message is usually set in the first person

- Only humans, groups of humans, and agents should do "action verbs"

- Objects should never do anything. Here are some examples to avoid:

- X carries ...

- X names ... - APIs are a minor exception to the action verb rule. They can do stereotypical things like CRUD, queueing, running, and calling.

- Avoid em dashes (—), as adds a distracting beat

The whole message you get is one block of that output. Reply with the edited prose and nothing else.

Yeah, I suppose I was just responding to the Astro aesthetics. Copy seems human-written when taking a deeper look.

Feels like every other site that AI generates. Hard to tell what the creators believe and what is just probabilistically generated.
