anti-slop

anti-slop is a cursor rule for Cursor from the-hooman-loop/anti-slop-kit. It costs 137 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing checklist for producing specific, grounded AI-generated work. It checks for vague wording, invented facts, missing context, and language that sounds machine-made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review drafts, clarify underspecified requests, remove unnecessary complexity, and identify decisions that require human judgment.
Why use it?
It helps avoid generic or misleading output when the request is unclear. It also prompts the writer to state assumptions or ask focused questions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

anti-slop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Before producing final work, check for:

  1. Generic phrasing that could apply to anyone.
  2. Unsupported claims or invented facts.
  3. Missing audience, goal, or context.
  4. Overly polished language that sounds like AI.
  5. Unnecessary complexity.
  6. Places where a human needs to make a judgment call.

Prefer specific, useful, grounded output over broad, impressive-sounding output.

If context is missing, ask concise clarifying questions or state assumptions clearly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
