# The Antislop

*Detect and fix AI-generated writing patterns (slop).*

 


A Claude Code skill that detects and **fixes** AI-generated writing patterns. More comprehensive than detection alone — it actually rewrites the problems.

## Why

AI-generated text has tells. Wikipedia's [Signs of AI Writing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing) documents 24 patterns. But detection alone isn't enough. You need a tool that:

1. **Detects comprehensively** — 35+ patterns across content, language, style, and structure 2. **Scores severity** — Not all patterns are equally bad (tiered system) 3. **Actually fixes problems** — Editor mode rewrites, not just flags 4. **Catches structural tells** — Staccato fragments, manufactured personality, uniformity

## Install

```bash # In Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add aplaceforallmystuff/marketplace /plugin install the-antislop@aplaceforallmystuff ```

<details> <summary>Manual install (without the marketplace)</summary>

```bash mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills git clone https://github.com/aplaceforallmystuff/the-antislop.git ~/.claude/skills/the-antislop ``` </details>

## Use cases

- Use it when a draft "sounds like AI" and you want the specific tells named and fixed. - Use it as a final pass before publishing any AI-assisted content. - Use it to humanize AI-generated text — cut Tier 1 phrases, break up staccato fragments, vary sentence rhythm. - Use it to check a draft against the Horoscope Test before it goes out under your byline. - Use it to audit without editing — request "audit only" when you just want the slop score.

## How it works

1. **Run the Horoscope Test** — Could anyone have written this for anyone? 2. **Scan for patterns** — 45+ known AI tells across 6 categories 3. **Calculate slop score** — Tiered s
