Read-only audit of a repository for AI-slop markers in code, comments, tests, docs and CI, each verified against the code and ranked. Use when asked to find AI slop or machine-written code.

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

# AI Slop Audit

This skill reads and reports. It never edits. Every fix its findings call for — the comment rewrite, the rename, the drift-pair unification, the CI template extraction — is executed by `awesome-code-cleanup`, which owns the editing bar, the behavior-preserving proof and the regression gate. Splitting it this way is what lets the catalog below range over docs and CI without a second skill rewriting the same line.

A slop marker is anything that makes a reader think "a machine wrote this and nobody read it". Three classes, in descending order of harm:

1. Lies — statements the code disproves: a comment claiming "three use sites" over five, a README documenting a 15s default the code sets to 13s, a rationale explaining a mechanism that no longer exists. Highest value: these mislead the next reader every day they survive.
2. Noise — formulaic filler: narration comments, echo-JSDoc, banner rows, template comments stamped verbatim across sibling files, copy-pasted test strophes, an 8-step CI setup block pasted into 7 jobs.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-slop-audit@sha256:cdeae6ed7b3d87f5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.a19c2a5, 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.
