SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated prose often contains predictable patterns—throat-clearing openers, filler adverbs, passive voice, and formulaic structures—that make text sound robotic and erode reader trust. This Skill systematically detects and eliminates those patterns before text reaches the executive. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pattern Elimination: Cuts filler phrases, adverbs, binary contrasts, dramatic fragmentation, and rhetorical setups from prose. - Five-Dimension Scoring: Rates text 1-10 on Directness, Rhythm, Trust, Authenticity, and Density, requiring a minimum of 35/50 before delivery. - Scope Guardrails: Explicitly excludes code, technical documentation, logs, and quoted material, and accounts for PT-BR rhythm differences. - Use Case: Before sending a status update to an executive, run the draft through the anti-slop checklist to strip openers like "I hope this finds you well" and rewrite passive constructions into direct, active statements. ## Quick Start Review my draft message to the executive and remove any AI writing patterns, then score it on the five quality dimensions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove AI writing patterns from generated text?▼

Apply a checklist that cuts throat-clearing openers, adverbs, and passive voice, then breaks formulaic structures like binary contrasts and three-item lists. Score the result on directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity, and density before delivery.

What are common signs of AI-generated prose?▼

Common tells include vague openers, emphasis crutches, "not X but Y" contrasts, dramatic one-line paragraphs, inanimate subjects with human verbs, and uniform sentence rhythm. Pull-quote-style punchy endings are another frequent marker.

Should anti-slop rules apply to technical documentation?▼

No. Code, READMEs, ADRs, docstrings, logs, and system messages follow different quality criteria and should be excluded. Applying prose-style rules to technical content creates false positives and strips necessary precision.

Does removing all adverbs improve writing quality?▼

Not always. Over-correction can strip necessary precision, such as changing "approximately 40%" to "40%" and losing the uncertainty signal. Context matters, and some adverbs carry real information.

Do AI writing rules differ between English and Portuguese?▼

Yes. PT-BR prose has different natural rhythms, and three-item lists or em-dashes may be natural in formal Portuguese writing. Evaluate PT-BR text against PT-BR rhythm expectations rather than English-centric rules.
