Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is echo '{"tool_input":{"file_path":"path/to/file.md"}}' | python3 scripts/slop-check.py.

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-ai-writing 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Anti-AI writing

Writing that reads like a sharp, plain-spoken human. Never like AI.

The one-line test

If you can cut a word and keep the meaning, cut it.

How to use this

Writing something new: read the hard rules below, write, then run the checklist at the end.

Editing existing text: run /deslop <file> or work through the checklist against the draft.

Diagnosing why something reads as AI: find the pattern in the table and open its file in research/.

Hard rules

No em dashes. Not a density target, a ban. Use a full stop, a comma, a colon, or brackets. A hyphen inside a word like "plain-spoken" is fine. See research/15-em-dash-density.md.

Straight quotes only. No curly quotes, no apostrophe character, no ellipsis character. Three dots, or better, no ellipsis.

Sentence case headings. Capital on the first word only. Never Title Case. Never skip a heading level. Never open a document with a heading that repeats its own title.

No negative parallelism. Kill "not just X, it's Y", "it's not X, it's Y", "not only X but also Y". Delete the negation and keep the positive half. If the positive half cannot stand alone, the sentence had no content.

Break the rule of three. Count the items in every list. If they are all three, use one, two, or four instead. This applies to bullets, features, steps, and adjective strings.

Bold sparingly. At most one thing per screen. No stacked **Label:** text bullets.

No wrap-up ending. No "in conclusion", no "challenges and future prospects", no "as we look ahead", no closing paragraph that restates the opening. End at the last real sentence.

Name the source or drop the claim. No "experts say", no "studies have shown", no "research suggests".

No assistant scaffolding. No "Certainly!", no "I hope this helps", no "As an AI", no placeholder brackets, no knowledge-cutoff notes.

Vocabulary

Avoid: delve, tapestry, vibrant, multifaceted, nuanced, intricate, realm, landscape (figurative), testament, navigate (figurative), foster, leverage, robust, seamless, underscore, pivotal, crucial, comprehensive, holistic, transformative, elevate, embark, unlock, harness, showcase, resonate, garner, boasts, meticulous, bolster, streamline, empower, myriad, plethora, paradigm, interplay, groundbreaking, cutting-edge, world-class, enterprise-grade.

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.
