Strip AI writing patterns from prose across five registers — casual, professional, academic, technical, and narrative. Applies 200+ pattern rules to eliminate predictable LLM tells. Triggers on clean up writing, remove AI slop, edit prose, make this sound less AI.
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
# Stop Slop Eliminate predictable AI writing patterns. Produce clear, specific, human-sounding prose across any register. ## Step 1: Detect register Infer the register from context before applying rules. Different registers tolerate different patterns. | Signal | Register | |--------|----------| | Citations, methodology, "we hypothesize" | `academic` | | API docs, READMEs, changelogs, error messages | `technical` | | Fiction, essays, memoir, creative nonfiction | `narrative` | | Blog posts, social media, emails | `casual` | | Reports, proposals, business comms | `professional` | If the user specifies a register, use it. See [references/registers.md](references/registers.md) for per-register acceptable vs. flagged patterns. ## Step 2: Remove slop Apply these rules, adjusted for register: 1. **Cut filler phrases and AI vocabulary.** Remove throat-clearing openers, chatbot artifacts, significance inflation, and words that appear 100-1,000x more in LLM output than human text. See [references/phrases.md](references/phrases.md). …

How to install
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/stop-slop@sha256:171e2d37663832ffThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260416.4e43d41, 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.
