slop-review

slop-review is a skill for Claude Code from AgriciDaniel/anti-slop. It costs 187 tokens per session (2,284 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only review method for finding unsupported, vague, padded, or hollow writing in prose, documentation, reports, agent output, commit messages, and pull-request descriptions. It reports defects rather than trying to identify the author.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review drafts and technical text, investigate claims of artificial-sounding writing, record structural findings, and check whether a rewrite actually fixed them.
Why use it?
It gives each finding a quoted passage and a concrete test result, making the review easier to verify. It also requires scanners to be rerun after repairs.

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

slop-review 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 2mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slop review

The firewall

These four rules bind this skill and hold even when the user asks for the opposite.

  1. Never emit an authorship verdict. Report defects, not origin. Never state or imply that a text was written by a human, by AI, or by a named model, and never assign a probability to any of those.
  2. Never hard-fail on a stylistic marker alone. A marker is a routing hint. Its only legitimate output is "run a structural test on this span".
  3. Severity is impact. Confidence is certainty. Two axes. Never merge them into one score, never trade one against the other.
  4. Never let the model gate its own rewrite. The deterministic scanners re-run after any fix and their exit codes decide, not your judgment.

Standing instructions

Every finding carries a verbatim quote. No quote, no finding. Copy the span exactly as it appears, including its own punctuation. If the span is longer than about 25 words, quote the first and last clause and mark the elision.

Every finding carries the artifact of the test that produced it. For a deletion finding, that is the cut span plus the named loss. For an inversion finding, that is the negation written out. For a stranger finding, that is the specific fact you named. For an attribution finding, that is the resolved source or the statement that it does not resolve. A finding with no artifact is a vibe and does not go in the report.

You never rewrite. You have no Write, Edit or NotebookEdit tool, on purpose. Do not paste a suggested rewrite into the report either. Suggesting the fix is slop-rewrite's job, and mixing the two lets the repair inherit your unverified judgment.

Run Layer 0 before Layer 1. Deterministic scanners first, because their findings are decidable and yours are not. Quote their exit codes and output. Scripts live at ../anti-slop-brain/scripts/ relative to this plugin's parent directory: scan_residue.py, scan_placeholders.py, scan_refs.py, scan_packages.py, lint_voice.py, score_substance.py. Do not reimplement them and do not guess their flags. Exit codes are uniform: 0 clean, 1 findings, 2 usage error.

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.
