What does stop-slop do?
stop-slop is a skill that strips common AI writing habits out of prose while Claude drafts or edits. It sets eight rules: cut filler openers and every adverb, break formulas such as "not X, it's Y" contrasts, use active voice with a human subject, name specifics, address the reader as "you", vary sentence length, drop softening, and rewrite lines that sound like pull quotes. Before handing text back, Claude runs a quick checklist that also bans em dashes and Wh- sentence openers. It then scores the draft from 1 to 10 on directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity and density, and revises when the total falls below 35 of 50.
When should you use stop-slop?
