de-slopify

To remove AI writing patterns from README files, apply manual line-by-line editing to eliminate emdash overuse and boilerplate tropes, replacing them with clearer, direct prose. This humanization process restores a natural tone and improves documentation credibility.

Common AI writing artifacts in technical documentation include emdash overuse, boilerplate lead-ins, and recognizable tropes like “Here’s why” or “It’s not X, it’s Y.” These patterns reduce text credibility and signal automated generation to readers.

To rewrite AI-generated API docs to sound more human, systematically review the text line by line. Recast sentences to remove telltale tropes and emdashes, replacing them with commas, semicolons, or direct phrasing for authentic clarity.

You should not use automated find-and-replace to fix AI tone in documentation. Effective humanization requires manual revision guided by specific pattern eliminations and replacement heuristics, ensuring natural sentence recasts rather than brittle substitutions.

You should edit documentation for AI slop removal when preparing public-facing text like README files and API docs. If patterns like emdash overuse or boilerplate lead-ins reduce credibility, manual line-by-line revision ensures a genuinely human tone.
