## Observable text artifacts

Watermark Slayer inspects literal Unicode format controls and registry-defined structures in the exact text you provide. A finding reports an observable artifact, not who wrote the text or which system produced it.

Where the public registry marks an action supported, you can choose a reviewable cleanup edit while the original remains available. Language-sensitive and provenance-like findings stay report-only.

## Statistical text watermarking

A statistical watermark can be encoded in token or word choices rather than hidden characters. Deleting a zero-width character does not establish that a statistical signal changed, and Watermark Slayer does not claim a detector result.

## Signed provenance and file metadata

Signed provenance, file metadata, and plain-text code points are different mechanisms. The launch scanner may report a candidate text wrapper as detected but unverified; it does not validate a signature and leaves provenance unchanged.

## A reproducible check

Paste text you are authorized to inspect, run the local scan, and compare each visible finding with the supported-artifact registry. The result names the code point or structure, fixture date, support status, and available action so the claim can be checked.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Claude add a watermark to text?

The phrase Claude watermark can refer to hidden characters, statistical wording signals, or signed provenance. Search interest and third-party claims do not prove that every Claude response contains the same mechanism. Check current first-party documentation and the evidence for the exact output you are inspecting.

### What can Watermark Slayer remove from Claude text?

Watermark Slayer can offer reviewable cleanup only for artifacts marked supported in its public, fixture-tested registry. Other observations remain report-only or unsupported.

### Does cleanup change an AI-detector result?

No detector outcome is promised. A successful cleanup confirms only the documented artifact edits shown in the review; it does not establish authorship or how another service will classify the text.
