Catches and removes the telltale patterns that scream "AI wrote this." Scans for overused phrases like "delve into" and "navigate the complexities," generic variable names like `data` and `result`, and cookie-cutter design choices like purple gradients everywhere. Includes detection scripts that give you a slop score and cleanup tools that strip out the worst offenders automatically. The reference files are genuinely useful, breaking down text, code, and design patterns with specific examples of what to fix and why. Honestly, this is what you want running before you ship anything AI-touched to a client or commit it to a codebase where someone else will read it.

Anti-Slop Skill

Detect and eliminate generic AI-generated patterns ("slop") across natural language, code, and design.

What is AI Slop?

AI slop refers to telltale patterns that signal low-quality, generic AI-generated content:

  • Text: Overused phrases like "delve into," excessive buzzwords, meta-commentary
  • Code: Generic variable names, obvious comments, unnecessary abstraction
  • Design: Cookie-cutter layouts, generic gradients, overused visual patterns

This skill helps identify and remove these patterns to create authentic, high-quality content.

When to Use This Skill

Apply anti-slop techniques when:

  • Reviewing AI-generated content before delivery
  • Creating original content and want to avoid generic patterns
  • Cleaning up existing content that feels generic
  • Establishing quality standards for a project
  • User explicitly requests slop detection or cleanup
  • Content has telltale signs of generic AI generation

Core Workflow

1. Detect Slop

For text files:

python scripts/detect_slop.py <file> [--verbose]
