SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many AI-assisted drafts use repetitive, promotional, or editorial phrasing that reads as machine-generated; this Skill detects those patterns, scores how "AI-like" the text is, and rewrites flagged passages to sound more natural and human.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pattern detection and scoring: Counts matches across six categories (promotional phrases, editorializing, direct contrasts, throat-clearing openers, emphasis crutches, and word substitutions) and maps the total to a 1–10 slop score.
  • Targeted rewriting: Replaces flagged phrases with factual, concise alternatives while preserving meaning and structure so the author's voice remains intact.
  • Use case: Run on newsletter drafts, blog posts, or social copy before publishing to remove generic AI phrasing and reduce the risk of sounding inauthentic.

Quick Start

Say "clean this up" with your draft to receive a slop score and a cleaned, human-sounding version of the text.
