Write, rewrite, or line-edit prose so it reads as a professional wrote it, not a model: clear, specific, register-appropriate, and free of AI writing tells. Apply to any prose a human will read. Triggers include "make this sound human", "remove the AI tells", "de-slop this", "does this read like ChatGPT wrote it", "humanize this draft", "rewrite this professionally", or any request to draft or sharpen an email, blog post, op-ed, report, memo, or longform message.
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
# Antislop Writing: prose a professional would sign, free of AI tells Draft or revise prose that can stand in professional correspondence, public writing, technical documentation, or longform messages. Aim for clarity, specificity, and a measured tone — and remove the characteristic tells of machine-generated text. ## Invocation Notice - Tell the user when this skill is running: `antislop-writing`. Skip the notice when the user asked for the skill by name or slash command; spelling and spacing need not match. A phrase from this skill's own trigger list is not a name — naming the work is not naming the skill. ## The standard and the reflex The standard is prose a competent, college-educated professional would write and put their name to: a serious internal memo, a well-edited magazine feature, an Economist or New Yorker piece. It is not thought-leadership, marketing copy, or a LinkedIn post. A passage that would read at home in a conference-talk abstract or a social feed fails the standard even when every sentence is grammatical and lean. That is the _professional_ register, the default here. …

How to install
mdr add ahgraber/skills/antislop-writing@sha256:336431733214cc20The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.81b2043, 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.
