A cataloged reference file listing common AI writing tropes and patterns to avoid when using LLMs for text generation. Covers word choice clichés (delve, tapestry, leverage), structural tics (negative parallelism, tricolon abuse, gerund fragment litanies), tone problems (grandiose stakes inflation, false vulnerability, patronizing analogies), formatting tells (bold-first bullets, em-dash addiction), and compositional flaws (fractal summaries, one-point dilution). Intended to be added to an AI system prompt to suppress these patterns.
