Stop Slop

Eliminate predictable AI writing patterns from prose.

Core Rules

  1. Cut filler phrases. Remove throat-clearing openers and emphasis crutches. See references/phrases.md.

  2. Break formulaic structures. Avoid binary contrasts, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups. See references/structures.md.

  3. Vary rhythm. Mix sentence lengths. Two items beat three. End paragraphs differently.

  4. Trust readers. State facts directly. Skip softening, justification, hand-holding.

  5. Cut quotables. If it sounds like a pull-quote, rewrite it.

Quick Checks

Before delivering prose:

  • Three consecutive sentences match length? Break one.
  • Paragraph ends with punchy one-liner? Vary it.
  • Em-dash before a reveal? Remove it.
  • Explaining a metaphor? Trust it to land.

Scoring

Rate 1-10 on each dimension:

Dimension Question
Directness Statements or announcements?
Rhythm Varied or metronomic?
Trust Respects reader intelligence?
Authenticity Sounds human?
Density Anything cuttable?

Below 35/50: revise.
