Detects and removes generic AI-writing tells from finished scientific prose, keeping passive Methods voice. Use when the user asks to de-slop wording; drafting goes to method-write.
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
# Scientific Anti-Slop Audit ## Skill Value - **Problem it solves:** Scientific drafts can contain generic AI phrasing, uncited attribution, vague claims, and technical synonym drift. - **Use when:** Drafting or reviewing any clinical or scientific manuscript text. - **Output:** A prioritized P0/P1/P2 anti-slop audit with direct rewrites where meaning is unambiguous. - **Ask only if:** A technical term, citation boundary, or manuscript section cannot be identified from the draft. - **Do not do:** Do not ban valid passive Methods prose or alter technical meaning for stylistic variety. Catalog of AI-writing tells adapted for formal scientific prose, drawn from two open-source AI-writing-tell catalogs — `hardikpandya/stop-slop` and `conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing` — with the generic rules reconciled against the constraints of clinical manuscript house style (`method-voice`, `method-section-check`). Where a generic rule would break scientific convention, the calibration is stated explicitly below; do not apply the unqualified generic version to manuscript text. ## Calibration against the generic guides …

How to install
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/method-anti-slop@sha256:bacc53f087fa8780The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.73e5a37, 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.
