SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated text often sounds robotic due to filler phrases, formulaic openers, em-dash overuse, and clichéd hype words. This Skill cleans up that machine flavor so docs, READMEs, and release notes read like a human wrote them, without changing the original meaning. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Slop Detection: Identifies filler phrases ("It is worth noting that..."), throat-clearing openers, binary contrasts, and AI clichés like "game-changer" or "seamlessly integrate", including Chinese equivalents. - Meaning-Preserving Rewrites: Removes AI tells while keeping the author's voice and intent intact, showing before/after for significant changes. - Scoring Rubric: Rates text on naturalness, conciseness, voice, structure, and honesty (1-10 each), flagging anything under 35/50 for revision. - Use Case: Paste an AI-drafted README or release note and get back a cleaned version that reads naturally, with a report of what was changed and why. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to clean up your AI-written document with the stop-slop skill, for example: "Use stop-slop to remove the AI tells from this README draft."
