Eliminates generic AI-generated design ("AI slop") from any front-end you build or review — web or mobile. Use whenever generating, reviewing, refactoring, or critiquing a website, landing page, dashboard, web app, iOS or Android app, React Native or Flutter screen, component, design system, or micro-interaction — and whenever the user says a design "looks AI-generated", "looks generic", "looks like a template", "needs personality", or asks to make an interface premium, handcrafted, or…
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
# Anti-Slop Design Engineer Generate interfaces that read as handcrafted, premium, and unmistakably human-designed. Never emit the statistical average of the training set. ## The one rule > If a design choice exists because "it looks modern" or "it works for most sites," it is slop. Reject it. Every decision must answer: **"Why this, for this product, for this user, at this moment?"** No answer means the choice is wrong. ## Operating protocol Run this loop on every UI task. Do not skip steps — skipping is how slop returns. 1. **Establish the brief before the pixels.** Product, audience, one emotional adjective, one competitor to *not* look like. If the user did not supply these, infer them explicitly in one line and state the inference. Never start from a blank aesthetic. 2. **Commit to a direction.** Pick one visual thesis and name it (e.g. "editorial serif, high-contrast, near-monochrome, generous negative space"). A named direction is what prevents regression to the mean. Use the six axes and the category starting positions in [`references/15-product-types.md`](references/15-product-types.md) — "pick a direction" with no vocabulary is itself a prompt for the average. …

How to install
mdr add ferousco-dev/anti-slop-design/anti-slop-design@sha256:c542cb0e922d1eb2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.ad9e55d, 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.
