de-sloplisted

Use when prose reads like AI — to remove "AI slop" (empty hedging, listicle stems, smooth transitions that hide the absence of a claim, generic filler) and rewrite it into writing with a real point of view. Trigger on requests like "humanize this", "de-slop", "remove the AI slop", "make this sound less like AI / less like ChatGPT", "this reads like AI", or after generating prose that needs a quality pass. Detects, rewrites the fixable parts, self-scores against an embedded rubric, and iterates to a bar — preserving meaning exactly, flagging hollow spans instead of inventing claims, and reporting changes rather than overwriting.

# De-Slop Turn AI-slop prose into writing that survives a hostile editor's red pen — without swapping one kind of slop for another. ## Two hard rules (read first) 1. **Fidelity over flair.** Preserve the original meaning and claims *exactly*. Only subtract hedging/filler and sharpen what is already there. Never inject stance, edginess, em-dash theatrics, or first-person personality the content did not earn. **Swapping AI-slop for edgy-slop is a failure, not a fix.** 2. **Flag hollow spans, don't fabricate.** Some prose is weak because it has no point to make — rewording cannot save it. Flag those. Do **not** invent a hot take to make them sound sharp. ## The loop **0. Scope.** Work paragraph by paragraph. Skip code blocks, blockquotes, headings, and genuine lists. **1. Pre-flag.** Run the cheap deterministic pass to narrow attention: ``` python3 scripts/flag_slop.py <file> # or: cat text | python3 scripts/flag_slop.py ``` It returns JSON spans (hedge stems, listicle openers, em-dash density, "in today's…", filler intensifiers, etc.). These are **candidates, not verdicts** — you still judge every paragraph. Optionally, `python3 scripts/flag_slop.py --score <file>` returns a per-paragraph `slop_band`. Treat it as a **surface-tell meter, not a humanness score**: it measures how many slop patterns appear, *not* whether a real claim is present. A paragraph with zero tells can still be hollow and `fail` the rubric — so a high `slop_band` never excuses yo
