SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Drafts written or assisted by AI often contain recognizable patterns—banned buzzwords, throat-clearing openers, fake-profound endings, and robotic rhythm—that make text feel generic. This Skill edits those patterns out while either preserving the writer's personal voice or rewriting reference documentation toward its clearest form. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Two editing stances: Preserve mode keeps the writer's voice, structure, and opinions in personal writing; Improve mode rewrites reference docs (READMEs, API docs, runbooks) with facts sourced from the repository. - Three job modes: Edit (default, returns the revised draft with a What changed section), Detect (names each AI pattern with a quoted line and a short fix, without rewriting), and Score (rates the draft 1-10 across five dimensions on request). - Pattern catalogues: Ships reference files listing banned words, filler phrases, and seventeen structural patterns such as binary contrasts, colon reveals, weasel attribution, and summary-recap endings, each with before/after examples. - Use Case: Paste a blog post draft that reads as AI-generated and ask for an edit; the Skill keeps your humor, digressions, and blunt phrasing while cutting slop, then reports what changed. ## Quick Start Use the stop-the-slop skill to edit this draft and remove AI writing patterns while keeping my voice.

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

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

Provide the draft and request an edit. The Skill picks a stance—Preserve for personal writing or Improve for reference docs—then cuts banned words, filler phrases, and structural patterns, returning the edited draft with a What changed section.

How to detect AI-generated text without rewriting it?

Ask for a detect, audit, or scan. The Skill names each pattern found, quotes the offending line, and gives a short fix, without rewriting the draft or guessing whether AI wrote it.

What is the difference between Preserve and Improve stance?

Preserve keeps the writer's voice, structure, and opinions in personal writing like blog posts, making minimal edits. Improve rewrites reference docs like READMEs and runbooks toward the clearest version, adding facts only from sources actually read.

Can this tool score how AI-sounding my writing is?

Yes, but only when you ask for a number. It rates the draft 1-10 across five dimensions—Directness, Rhythm, Trust, Authenticity, Density—shows the table, and recommends an edit if the total falls below 35 out of 50.

Does the editing keep my personal writing style?

In Preserve stance, yes. The edit keeps distinctive vocabulary, cadence, humor, hedges, fragments, and strong opinions, and leaves strong human sentences untouched. The register rules apply only to sentences that were slop anyway.

When should I not use AI slop detection on a draft?

Avoid using it to prove authorship; the Skill names patterns as evidence but does not claim a text was AI-written, since detectors guess. It also requires an actual draft—without one it asks for the text, audience, and goal first.
