slop-verify

slop-verify is a skill for Claude Code from AgriciDaniel/anti-slop. It costs 171 tokens per session (2,170 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checking pass for references, web links, package names, and leftover vendor text in a document or code change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check DOIs, ISBNs, arXiv IDs, URLs, citations, imported packages, and vendor residue.
Why use it?
It helps catch links or identifiers that exist but do not support the claim or point to the intended thing. It also separates confirmed defects from guesses about who wrote the text.

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-verify 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.

Slop verify

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. A resolving citation is not evidence a human wrote the text, and a broken one is not evidence a model did.
  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, 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

Existence is not support. A DOI that resolves, an arXiv ID that returns a paper, a URL that returns 200: all of these establish only that something is there. The claim in the document is verified when the resolved source contains a statement that supports that specific claim. Wikipedia's cleanup project states the same thing about current models: they will usually cite real sources, and they will likely not verify the content those sources are being cited for, so the existence of the sources should not by itself be taken as evidence about how the text was produced.

Run the attribution test on every vague authority. "Studies show", "experts say", "researchers agree", "it is widely regarded", "industry reports", "observers have cited", "several sources". Each must resolve to a named source that supports that specific claim. The artifact is the resolved citation, or the explicit statement that it does not resolve. There is no third outcome and "probably fine" is not an artifact.

Catch overgeneralization, not just fabrication. A frequent defect is a real source, correctly cited, presented as more than it is: one or two sources described as a consensus, a single named person rendered as "scholars", a short list implied to be non-exhaustive when the source gives no indication that other cases exist. Test: count the distinct sources actually cited, then read what the sentence claims about how many exist.

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.
