De-slop pass for any text: mechanically scans for the statistical tells of AI writing (the "not X but Y" reflex, puffery, uniform cadence, …) and rewrites by meaning into the target register, tweet to academic paper. Use when the user says "declawed"/"deslop", asks to remove AI tells / humanize text / make it not sound like AI, names a specific tell to strip, or before publishing any agent-drafted prose.
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
# Declawed Strip every mark of AI writing from a text and make it good in its genre. Not "make it pass a detector" — make it read like a specific person with a specific point wrote it for a specific audience. ## Why this is a loop, not a style guide The worst tells — above all the **"not X but Y"** family — are not vocabulary mistakes. They are emergent properties of how LLMs generate text: preference tuning rewards balanced, contrastive, comprehensive-sounding framing, so the contrast move is baked into the model's priors. Two consequences drive this skill's architecture: 1. **You cannot reliably see your own slop.** The same priors that produce the pattern make it invisible on re-read. Detection must be mechanical — regex against a fixed catalog — never "does this look AI to me?" 2. **Rewriting reintroduces slop.** Ask a model to remove "it's not just X, it's Y" and it produces "this is less about X than Y" — the same move in a wig. So every rewrite gets re-scanned, and the loop runs until the scan is clean. Workflow: **Scan → Diagnose → Rewrite by meaning → Re-scan → (repeat) → Register check.** ## Phase 0: Fix the target Before touching the text, establish: …

How to install
mdr add kevinlin/skills/declawed@sha256:d6637a75ae7edc92The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.2, 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.
