Cut AI tells from prose and add a human voice - PR bodies, docs, READMEs, blog/devlog posts, release notes, review summaries, commit messages; any draft that already exists. Use when the user says 'unslop', 'de-AI this', 'remove AI tells', 'humanize this', 'this sounds like AI', or as the final pass whenever another skill produces prose. Do not use for conversion copy structure (vd:copywriting), doc structure (vd:docs, incl. its site mode), or code slop (vd:code-review --refactor).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Unslop > Remove the patterns that read as machine-made, then put a voice back in. Both halves are the job. ## What this skill is - and isn't Unslop edits **prose** - wording and rhythm only, never facts, claims, links, or code blocks. `vd:copywriting` owns conversion structure; run copywriting first, unslop last. ## Hard rules 1. **Meaning is frozen.** Rewrite the sentence, never the claim. If a fact looks wrong, flag it - don't fix it silently. Why: an edit pass that changes meaning is a new draft nobody reviewed. 2. **Match the intended register.** A PR body, a launch tweet, and an incident report don't share a voice. Why: "human" is not one tone. 3. **Cut before you decorate.** Most fixes are deletions. Adding personality to filler still leaves filler. 4. **Self-audit before returning.** Ask "what still makes this obviously AI-generated?" and fix it. One pass is never enough. 5. **House dash rule.** No em dashes, no en dashes, no curly quotes. Plain `-` with spaces is the separator. Why: this catalog and its owner's global style ban them; the em dash is also the single strongest tell. ## Process 1. Scan against the pattern catalog below. Mark every hit. …

How to install
mdr add vanducng/skills/unslop@sha256:76c262b63134bca7The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
