SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Drafts and AI-generated text often accumulate vague, bloated, or clichéd phrasing. This Skill applies a defined prose rule catalogue to a file, diff, or message so every stylistic violation is found and either fixed in place or reported. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Rule-based prose cleanup: Applies every rule from the writing-for-humans CATALOGUE.md to each sentence of the target text. - Edit or report modes: Fixes violations in place when the text is editable, otherwise reports each hit by rule id. - Flexible targeting: Works on a named file, a diff, or the most recently discussed text when nothing is specified. - Use Case: After drafting a README or blog post, run the pass to strip filler phrases and receive a list of remaining issues keyed to catalogue rules. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to unslop the current draft file and report any remaining rule violations by id.

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove filler and clichéd phrasing from a draft?

Run the unslop pass on the file or text, which applies every rule of the prose catalogue to each sentence. Editable text is fixed in place, and anything outside your control is reported by rule id.

What text can the unslop skill process?

It accepts a named file, a diff, or a piece of text such as the last message. If you name nothing, it defaults to the file or text most recently discussed in the session.

Does unslop edit my files directly or just suggest changes?

It fixes violations in place when the text is yours to edit. When the text is not editable, it reports each hit by rule id instead of modifying anything.

What rules does the prose cleanup follow?

All rules come from the writing-for-humans CATALOGUE.md, which is applied sentence by sentence. Each reported issue references its catalogue rule id so you can look up the rationale.

When should I not use automated prose cleanup?

Avoid it for verbatim quotes, legal text, or content where exact wording must be preserved, since the pass rewrites sentences. In those cases use the report-only behavior on non-editable text.
