Anti-Slop Kit

A portable, tool-agnostic set of Agent Skills, prompt cards, and rules for using AI without producing generic, unverified slop.

Use it when you want AI to help you move faster while keeping humans responsible for taste, truth, context, and consequences.

The point

AI slop happens when we outsource judgment. Good AI work happens when we use AI to accelerate drafts, options, and execution while humans stay responsible for the judgment. Use AI to move faster through the loop, not to skip the loop.

What's inside

skills/       canonical Agent Skills (the product)
  anti-slop/        core judgment guard
  verify/           verify before claiming done
  small-slices/     small, reviewable changes
  deslop-code/      remove AI code slop (+ branch-diff mode)
  deslop-writing/   make prose sound human (edit or detect)
  deslop-design/    strip the generic AI look from UI
prompts/      copy-paste prompt cards + a live demo script
adapters/     cursor/ rules, claude/ install notes

The skills are the source of truth. Adapters are thin, tool-specific copies.

Install

Any tool

The skills

Skill	What it does
anti-slop	Core judgment guard against generic, unverified output. Keeps humans in the loop.
verify	Do not claim work is done until it is checked; report what was and wasn't verified.
small-slices	Small, reviewable changes that preserve existing design and naming.
deslop-code	Remove redundant comments, verbose names, one-use wrappers, dead defensive code. Optional branch-diff mode.
deslop-writing	Cut AI writing tells so prose sounds human. Edit (rewrite) or detect (flag) modes.
deslop-design	Subtract-first UI cleanup: one accent, hierarchy from scale and space, reject the default AI looks.

Demo

See prompts/demo-script.md for a 5–10 minute before/after walkthrough in any AI coding tool.

Related skills

This kit ships first-party skills. If you want more depth in one medium, these public skills are worth a look (install counts as of writing):

• petergyang/no-ai-slop — writing detect/edit with a large named-pattern catalog (~7K installs).
• cursor/plugins deslop — branch-diff code cleanup (~4K installs).
• yetone/kill-ai-slop — subtract-first UI (~2K installs).
• samber/cc-skills frontend-design-deslop — strategy-first UI, heavier question flow (~2K installs).
• nexu-io/open-design design-taste-frontend — landing/portfolio taste (~2K installs).
• Anthropic frontend-design — avoid the default AI aesthetics.

Adjacent, but critique/accessibility rather than deslop: ux-crit, dataviz-crit, and a11y-audit review work; they don't rewrite it.
