Skill Details

SKILL.md

Use this skill when writing or editing prose to eliminate predictable AI writing patterns. Helps make writing more direct, authentic, and human.

Overview

# Stop Slop

Eliminate predictable AI writing patterns from prose. Apply these rules to any writing task.

Core Principles

  1. Eliminate filler - Remove predictable opening phrases and emphasis words
  2. Avoid formulaic patterns - Sidestep binary contrasts and dramatic structures
  3. Vary sentence rhythm - Mix lengths and paragraph endings
  4. Write directly - Trust readers without excessive explanation
  5. Remove quotable moments - Rewrite anything that reads like a pull-quote

Quick Audit Before Finalizing

  • Check for repetitive sentence lengths
  • Look for monotonous paragraph endings
  • Remove unnecessary em-dashes
  • Cut over-explained metaphors

Assessment Framework

Rate prose 1-10 on each dimension:

  • Directness - Does it get to the point?
  • Rhythm - Does sentence length vary naturally?
  • Trust - Does it respect reader intelligence?
  • Authenticity - Does it sound like a human wrote it?
  • Density - Is every word earning its place?

Below 35/50: revise.
