Stop Slop
Eliminate predictable AI writing patterns from prose.
Core Rules
-
Cut filler phrases. Remove throat-clearing openers and emphasis crutches. See references/phrases.md.
-
Break formulaic structures. Avoid binary contrasts, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups. See references/structures.md.
-
Vary rhythm. Mix sentence lengths. Two items beat three. End paragraphs differently.
-
Trust readers. State facts directly. Skip softening, justification, hand-holding.
-
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.
