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.
