SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated and AI-assisted writing carries recognizable tells: filler phrases, vague attributions, em dash overuse, chatbot sign-offs, and jargon that sounds technical but says nothing. This Skill scans text for those patterns and rewrites it into plain, direct prose while preserving meaning and tone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pattern detection and rewriting: Applies a numbered rule set covering content, language, style, filler, jargon, and plain-speech issues, from "delve" and "showcase" to false ranges and synonym cycling. - Self-audit pass: After rewriting, asks "What makes this obviously AI generated?" and fixes remaining tells before finishing. - Use Case: You drafted a README or blog post with AI assistance. Run it through this Skill to strip chatbot phrases, decorative formatting, and abstract metaphor nouns so the final text reads like a person wrote it. ## Quick Start Apply the unslop rules to rewrite this draft and remove every AI writing pattern while keeping my meaning and tone.

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

Run the draft through the unslop rule set: scan for the listed patterns, rewrite each instance while preserving meaning and tone, then self-audit by asking what still makes the text obviously AI generated and fixing what remains.

What are the most common AI writing tells to fix?▼

Common tells include words like delve, showcase, and tapestry, phrases like "serves as" instead of "is", superficial -ing phrases, vague attributions like "experts believe", em dash overuse, and chatbot closers like "I hope this helps!"

Does this rewriting change the meaning of my text?▼

No. The process explicitly preserves meaning and matches the intended tone. It replaces fancy or vague wording with plain equivalents, cuts filler, and restructures sentences without altering the underlying claims.

When should I not apply these writing rules?▼

Avoid applying them when a stylistic choice is deliberate, such as a bold lead-in that names an item and adds genuinely new detail, which the rules explicitly allow. Passive voice is also acceptable when the actor is unknown or irrelevant.

Can I use this on technical documentation and READMEs?▼

Yes. The rules target exactly the problems common in AI-drafted docs: abstract metaphor nouns like substrate and vector, feeling-based claims instead of mechanisms, and over-compressed fragments. It pushes text toward concrete facts and numbers.
