Remove predictable AI writing patterns from prose without flattening the writer's voice. Use when drafting, editing or reviewing reader-facing text such as articles, READMEs, product copy, captions and error messages.
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
> Based on [stop-slop](https://github.com/hardikpandya/stop-slop) by Hardik Pandya, used under the MIT License. Hardik wrote the original five rules, the first quick checks, the scoring grid, the core phrase and structure tables and examples 1 to 5.

A pass that strips the slop and the voice with it has failed too. ## How I Read a Match A tell is evidence to inspect, not proof. Sort every finding before you change anything: …

How to install
mdr add wpgaurav/claude-code-skills/stop-slop@sha256:e2389fb3d6142c30The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
