Strips AI-generation "smell" from prose before it ships (READMEs, docs, release notes, PR descriptions, posts, emails). Counts measurable tells first (keyword saturation, tricolons and anaphora, the "not X, it's Y" reflex, fragment-for-emphasis, bolded thesis lines, listicle-ization, signpost phrases, filler vocabulary, em-dashes, engineered-quotable closers), then applies a "doing work or reflex?" test to each instance so genuine voice survives. Use when asked to de-slop text or make it sound…
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
# vibe-slop-filter A pass for removing the texture that makes prose read as machine-assembled rather than written by a specific person. It is a filter, not a generator: it finds and flags the tells and informs the rewrite. The rewrite is a separate act. It matters most for writing about AI, where the slop reads as self-refuting, and for AI-literate readers, who reject prose on smell before they reach the argument. It applies to any prose read by someone who can choose to stop reading. Every tell below is also legitimate writing in moderation. One deliberate tricolon, one earned fragment, one antithesis at the pivot of the argument: that is craft. The tell is the reflexive overuse, the same rhythm firing because it is the model's default rather than because the sentence needed it. So the filter has two jobs, and the second matters as much as the first: 1. Catch the device used as a reflex. 2. Don't sand genuine voice into choppy, variation-for-its-own-sake prose. Over-applying the filter is its own failure. For every flag the test is the same: **is this doing work, or is it reflex?** Keep what does work. Cut the rest. ## When to Use This Skill …

How to install
mdr add ash1794/vibe-engineering/vibe-slop-filter@sha256:d1b516e0e73c13e6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.c9fd7be, 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.
