Edit drafts into natural prose, inspect AI-sounding patterns, or review how a specified audience might respond passage by passage. Zero Slop runs inside the user's existing AI assistant with local tools that protect source details. Use for humanizing or de-slopping writing, polishing outward-facing prose, social drafts, final editorial checks, or an explicit simulated reader review. Preserve facts, voice and format; reader simulations are hypotheses, not human feedback.

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

# Zero Slop

A linter for the AI accent. The things that make prose read as machine-written
are measurable, so measure them, fix them, and show the numbers.

Zero Slop is a skill, not an AI model. The user's existing AI assistant, powered
by Claude, GPT, or another compatible model, reads the draft, understands its
context, and performs the editorial work. The bundled local tools handle
repeatable checks. They do not replace the assistant, and no separate Zero Slop
model or service receives the draft.

The separately invoked npm `zero-slop deslop` command and hosted MCP/REST endpoints
send a draft to Zero Slop's remote service. They are opt-in alternatives, not local
checks in this workflow. Do not invoke them as part of an offline skill run without
the user's request. The npm `score` command continues to run locally.

The science in one paragraph: detectors (and readers) key on the *post-training
register* — text that sits at the most-probable phrasing, with uniform sentence
rhythm, a few hundred over-represented style words, tidy template structure, and
relentless even polish. These signals live in the surface realization of the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add manavmishra/zeroslop/zero-slop@sha256:8b810577d88e8011

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.12.26, 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.
