Stop Slop Skill: Keep the Meaning. Cut the Slop.

Keep the writer's meaning. Cut the predictable phrasing.

The optimized Stop Slop workflow locks facts and voice, opens only the references a draft needs, resolves every flagged span, and repeats the weakest review dimensions until the existing 35/50 threshold is met.

What We Improved

A red-pen pass leads both invocation branches

The model-facing description now covers drafting new prose and revising supplied text without repeating the old metadata trigger.

A source lock before the first rewrite

Facts, claims, names, numbers, dates, quotations, audience, voice, links, formatting, length limits, and uncertainty are recorded before changing words.

Conditional references and a four-gate revision loop

Phrase, structure, and example references load only when a flagged span needs them; every flag must resolve or carry a reason before the weakest dimensions repeat.

The original 35/50 threshold remains the finish line

The optimized Skill keeps the upstream scoring bar instead of inventing a new quality scale or claiming authorship detection.

Quick Start

  1. 1Supply the draft or brief and record its facts, voice, required terms, links, and uncertainty.
  2. 2Diagnose the exact spans that feel generic, staged, vague, or mechanically rhythmic.
  3. 3Load only the phrase, structure, or example reference relevant to each flagged span.
  4. 4Rewrite the smallest spans, audit the source lock, and repeat the weakest dimensions until the 35/50 bar is met.

Core Capabilities

Source lock

Keeps the writer's facts, voice, required terminology, links, formatting, and uncertainty in view before editing.

Conditional diagnostics

Loads phrase, structure, and example references only when the draft needs their guidance.

Smallest-span rewrite

Changes the flagged span while preserving precise technical language, quotations, and deliberate voice choices.

35/50 revision gate

Scores directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity, and density, then repeats the weakest dimensions as needed.

Use Cases

Marketing draft cleanup

Keep the supplied offer, facts, and voice while replacing formulaic copy.

Technical prose review

Protect exact terms, paths, and constraints while removing vague or repetitive scaffolding.

New prose from a brief

Build a source lock from the brief before drafting and reviewing the result.

# Stop Slop

This edition derives from Hardik Pandya's stop-slop package at 8da1f030185bdfe8471220585162991eaeb970e9.

## Four-gate workflow

Lock the source, draft or diagnose, rewrite against the lock, and audit the final prose. Load the phrase, structure, and example references only when their flags apply. Repeat the weakest dimensions until the existing 35/50 score is met.

The seven-file repository package, README, changelog, references, and MIT license remain intact. This release edition intentionally has no real prose comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What does Stop Slop preserve?
The candidate locks supplied facts, claims, names, numbers, dates, quotations, audience, point of view, tone, required terms, links, formatting, length limits, and uncertainty before editing.
Does Stop Slop identify who wrote a passage?
No. The optimized Skill describes textual patterns and preserves the source lock; it does not claim to identify the text's author or generator.
What is the 35/50 bar?
The original package scores directness, rhythm, trust, authenticity, and density. A total below 35 starts another revision of the weakest dimensions.
Is a prose comparison available?
No. Before/after output and blind-reader choice are intentionally not rendered in this release edition; the proof plan remains outside this source-diff scope.
Can I download it now?
Yes. Download the approved immutable Stop Slop Skill: Red-Pen Editing for Clearer AI Prose package from this page. Its source revision, file count, byte size, SHA-256, and release receipt are shown here; this evidence does not claim runtime outcomes.
