Catalog-then-fix slop removal on an existing prose draft. Parallel catalog subagents inventory four slop categories (theatrics, overwrought register, corrective antithesis, dramatic short sentences), fix subagents repair only what a catalog names, mechanical lint + frequency analysis bracket the run, and a regression gate (lint delta, word count, cold meaning check) decides whether the result ships. Use when the user says "deslop this draft", "catalog deslop…
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
# Catalog Deslop Take a finished draft and remove the statistical and rhetorical watermarks of LLM prose without losing meaning, voice, or length. The core discipline: nothing is "improved" on instinct. Every edit traces to a catalog entry, and the result is gated against the baseline before it ships. ## Your Role You are the **orchestrator**. You do exactly three things: 1. **Run the mechanical checks** — `references/lint.sh` and `references/frequency.py`. These are commands, not judgment. Running them yourself is allowed work. 2. **Dispatch subagents** — catalog agents, fix agents, one cold verifier. 3. **Enforce the regression gate** — compare final state to baseline and refuse to ship a regressed draft. You do NOT edit prose yourself. Not one sentence, not "just this obvious one". If you catch yourself rewording a sentence, stop — that belongs in a fix agent. ## The Iron Law ``` NO FIX WITHOUT A CATALOG ENTRY. NO SHIP WITHOUT THE REGRESSION GATE. ``` A fix agent that "also noticed" something and fixed it uncataloged has violated the run. An orchestrator that skips the gate because the fixes "looked safe" has …

How to install
mdr add av/skills/catalog-deslop@sha256:47b8149e07bdef12The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260730.ada63fd, 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.
