SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI-generated prose carries recognizable tells: throat-clearing openers, binary contrasts, adverb padding, passive voice, and formulaic rhythms. This Skill gives an LLM a concrete rulebook to catch and rewrite those patterns so text reads as human-written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Banned phrase detection: Flags throat-clearing openers, emphasis crutches, business jargon, adverbs, meta-commentary, and vague declaratives listed in references/phrases.md. - Structural pattern removal: Rewrites binary contrasts, negative listings, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups, false agency, narrator-from-a-distance voice, and passive voice per references/structures.md. - Quality scoring rubric: Rates prose 1-10 on directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity, and density, with revision required below 35/50. - Use Case: Paste an AI-drafted blog post and ask for a slop check; the Skill flags each pattern, rewrites the offending sentences, and scores the revision. ## Quick Start Review this draft for AI writing patterns and rewrite any sentences that match the banned phrases or structures.

Frequently Asked Questions about stop-slop

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove AI writing patterns from a draft?▼

Paste the draft and ask for a slop review. The Skill checks the text against banned phrase lists and structural cliché patterns, rewrites flagged sentences in active voice, and scores the result on directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity, and density.

What AI writing tells does this skill catch?▼

It catches throat-clearing openers like "Here's the thing", emphasis crutches like "Let that sink in", business jargon, all adverbs, binary contrasts like "not X but Y", dramatic fragmentation, false agency, passive voice, and vague declaratives.

Can I use this skill with Claude Projects or the API?▼

Yes. Upload SKILL.md and the reference files to project knowledge, or include SKILL.md in a system prompt for API calls. The reference files load on demand when detailed phrase or structure lists are needed.

How does the writing quality scoring work?▼

The Skill rates prose 1-10 on five dimensions: directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity, and density. A total below 35 out of 50 means the text needs revision before delivery.

When should I not apply these writing rules?▼

The rules target expository and persuasive prose where AI tells are most visible. Dialogue, poetry, or deliberately stylized writing may intentionally use fragmentation or rhythm patterns the Skill would otherwise flag.
