remove-ai-slop

remove-ai-slop is a skill for Claude Code from christiangalsterer/documentation-plugin. It costs 143 tokens per session (2,200 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing review guide that identifies and removes wording commonly produced by AI, such as filler, marketing language, vague claims, excess jargon, and repeated sentence patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean inline text or Markdown files, remove AI-sounding phrases, and suggest tighter wording while preserving the original facts and technical terms.
Why use it?
It helps make existing text clearer and more natural without adding new meaning. It can also flag problems before editing when the user has not asked for automatic cleanup.

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

remove-ai-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 5d 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Remove AI Slop

Identify and remove AI-slop: the filler, hedging, marketing, and jargon phrases that AI text generators lean on, the structural tells they use to manufacture insight, plus em-dash overuse. Output is cleaner prose with the meaning, facts, and technical terms intact.

This skill is a reviewer/cleaner, not a writer. It edits what is there; it does not invent content or restructure the document.

It covers two kinds of slop:

Workflow

  1. Identify the setting. Determine the input: a file on disk to edit in place, or inline prose to return cleaned. If you write to a .md file, never wrap the result in a code fence — the file content IS markdown.

  2. Scan the text. Flag every match of the categories below. Record the exact location (line or sentence), the current phrase, and a proposed replacement.

  3. Report before editing (unless the user asked for auto-fix). Present findings as a numbered table where each entry gets a number starting at 1:

    # Location Phrase Suggested fix

    Let the user accept or reject findings before you apply changes.

  4. Apply the selected fixes. The user picks which findings to fix by number. Keep the meaning, facts, and technical terms intact.

    Selecting findings. Selection is 1-based and can be a single number, a comma-separated list, a range, or any combination:

    • Single: 3
    • List: 1,2,5
    • Range: 1-3
    • Combined: 1-3,5,7-8

    Whitespace after commas is allowed and ignored (1, 3 → findings 1 and 3). An out-of-range number is not an error in the whole selection — apply the valid findings and report the ones that don't exist. Apply only what the user selected; leave the rest untouched for a later pass.

  5. Re-verify against the validation checklist at the bottom, fix any remaining violations, then present the result.

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.
