Deterministic pre-publish scan that refuses AI-slop tells in anything about to be written, published, or sent: files, artifacts, slide titles, table headers, diagram labels, chat messages, commit messages. Use before publishing or sending any deliverable, in CI, or wired as a Claude Code hook so the check runs without being remembered. The editorial counterpart is no-ai-slop, which rewrites; this one blocks.
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
<!-- slop-ok: this skill quotes the tells it blocks -->
# slop-gate
`no-ai-slop` is an editor you invoke. This is a gate that runs whether or not anyone
remembers it. It scans outgoing text, refuses on a tell, and returns the hit list so
the rewrite is targeted.
Two rules make it usable rather than annoying: hard tells fail on a single hit, and
words that are decoration at volume but legitimate once are counted rather than
banned. Text inside quotes or backticks is stripped before scanning, so a piece that
quotes a tell as an exhibit does not fail on its own examples.
## Why a gate and not a rule
A rules file is advisory, and advisory rules fail in a specific, repeatable way: they
fire in the step the model thinks of as writing and not in the steps it thinks of as
something else. A deck built by an agent can carry clean paragraphs under headline
slide titles, because the titles were produced in a layout step where the writing
rules never ran. Every surface nobody named explicitly sits on the unchecked side:
slide titles, kickers table headers, row keys commit messages
tile and card labels diagram node and edge labels code comments

How to install
mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/slop-gate@sha256:d40038650a91589cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.4cdb601, 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.
