v2.9.0 — ai-slop: /slop-audit, plus a docs cleanup across every plugin

Added

AI-Slop Plugin (new — v1.0.0)

New plugin for auditing what a codebase shows its users: copy that reads as AI-written, layouts that read as templates, metadata built from boilerplate, and factual errors in all of them.

• /slop-audit — report-only audit of every user-facing surface: pages and shared layout, data files that feed cards, forms, emails, visible error text, legal pages, meta and OG tags, JSON-LD, llms.txt, app strings and store metadata, README and --help text.
  • Reads the project's voice rules, documented house style and earlier audit decisions first, so deliberate choices aren't flagged and settled questions aren't asked again.
  • Counts habits that repeat across the site (em dashes, the main tagline, triplets, "X, not Y" slogans, a word the copy leans on) and how many files each appears in.
  • Checks facts: legal pages against the third parties the code loads (and the live page's scripts when given a URL), figures and names that differ between pages, claims another page contradicts, and links or components that lead nowhere.
  • Scores each area 0–100, quotes every finding with file:line and a concrete fix, then ends with a fix plan, its defaults and numbered questions. Edits start only after you answer; it then removes old wording from every metadata surface, runs the project's checks, and records your answers as project rules.
  • Ships its checklist as signals.md: sentence, structure, claims, positioning, visual and metadata tells, plus a list of things not to flag.
• Marketplace metadata version bumped 2.8.1 → 2.9.0 (new plugin).

Changed

• Docs rewrite after an AI slop audit (October 2026) — root README, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, every plugin README, all 15 marketplace and plugin.json descriptions, and several skill and agent descriptions.
  • Plugin descriptions now open with what the plugin does. "AI-powered" and the "Noun - Clause" shape are gone.
  • Removed emoji headings, "Built with ❤️" closers, "Time Savings" sections with estimated hours, and unmeasured percentages.
  • Cut repeated lists and IS / IS NOT blocks. Plugin READMEs are shorter, with a short "Limits" section where one is needed.
  • The GitHub repository description now matches the README tagline.
• CONTRIBUTING.md — covers bug reports and fix PRs only (new plugins and features start as an issue), and describes the current skills/ and agents/ layout instead of the removed commands/ folder and /plugins-scaffold.
• SECURITY.md — only the latest marketplace release gets security fixes. Reports go through the contact form, with a reply within one business day.
• CLAUDE.md — new Documentation Style rules that record these decisions.
• Patch releases for the docs and fixes below: ai-accessibility 1.4.2, ai-ado 1.3.3, ai-compliance 1.0.1, ai-geo 1.1.1, ai-git 1.3.2, ai-knowledge 1.5.2, ai-modernize 1.1.1, ai-performance 1.2.2, ai-security 2.0.1, ai-seo 1.0.1, ai-statusline 1.4.1, ai-swift 1.0.2, ai-workflow 2.0.1, ai-writing 1.0.1. Every plugin.json keyword list now matches its marketplace.json entry.

Fixed

• ai-accessibility — WCAG criteria counts in the README and in /accessibility-audit reports were WCAG 2.0's numbers. They now give 78 criteria for 2.1 and 86 for 2.2, with per-level counts. The touch-target rule is 24×24px at AA (SC 2.5.8) and 44×44px at AAA (SC 2.5.5), and focus-indicator contrast cites SC 1.4.11. The README now lists the 508 / WCAG 2.0 AA option and has a Plugin Details section.
• ai-geo — /geo-fix and the README used anthropic-ai and Claude-Web, which Anthropic doesn't document. They now use ClaudeBot, Claude-User and Claude-SearchBot. Google-Extended is described as a robots.txt control token, and "SearchGPT" is now ChatGPT search. /geo-llms-txt no longer calls the blockquote required (the llms.txt spec requires only the H1). The README documents --dry-run and the v1.1.0 discoverability checks.
• ai-knowledge — the auto memory comparison now matches the Claude Code docs: a MEMORY.md index plus topic files, the first 200 lines loaded at session start, and /memory for browsing.
• ai-modernize — removed "Claude Sonnet 2" (no such model) from the README and /modernize-audit, and dropped stale model names from its time estimates. The README's stack list names only stacks the skill checks.
• ai-seo — nuxt-simple-sitemap is now @nuxtjs/sitemap, TanStack Start's head component is <HeadContent />, and a dead web.dev link is gone.
• ai-writing — /writing-humanize counts 26 patterns, not 24, and its before/after example no longer invents a citation.
• ai-git — the README no longer says the plugin has agents or that /git-commit-push stages all changes. It stages the changed files by name and skips secrets.
• ai-ado — /ado-init had lost its README heading and was described as writing work item guidelines. The timesheet example totals now add up, and the roadmap of unbuilt skills is gone.
• ai-performance — the README no longer promises custom analysis templates or CI/CD gates.
• ai-statusline — "three categories" of display options is now four, and the examples use a current model label.
• ai-swift — removed unverified figures from the README and /swift-preflight.
• ai-workflow — added the missing /workflow-ship section and removed unbacked "syncs via /plugin update" claims. The README's check order matches what /workflow-preflight runs, and its argument-hint is quoted so YAML reads it as a string.
• ai-compliance — Apache 2.0's NOTICE requirement applies only when the project ships a NOTICE file, and BSD licenses use their SPDX names.
