Tags: ai-detection, linter, writing-tool, regex, multilingual

Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Tacheles is an offline, deterministic linter that detects AI writing tells in prose using regex and statistical patterns, drawing rules from authors like Stephen King. It provides actionable line-level feedback rather than a vague AI probability score, making it a unique tool for writers who want to maintain their voice while using AI assistance.

Target audience: writers, content creators, developers using AI-assisted writing
