Stop Slop

Stop Slop is a writing skill file designed to remove the obvious tells of AI-generated prose. It gives an assistant concrete editing rules for making text sound more direct, human, specific, and trustworthy. The project targets common AI habits such as filler openings, overused contrasts, unnecessary adverbs, vague language, passive phrasing, and metronomic sentence rhythm. It also includes a scoring rubric that rates drafts across dimensions such as directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity, and density. The skill is useful for drafting, editing, polishing, and quality-checking prose before publication. Its main value is giving writers and AI assistants a practical checklist for making text feel less synthetic and more intentional.
