open-seo: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/deslop/SKILL.md

deslop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from every-app/open-seo. It costs 163 tokens per session (1,868 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing-editing workflow that removes predictable patterns associated with machine-generated prose. It makes text less formulaic by cutting filler, business jargon, dramatic fragments, and other listed writing habits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise articles, documentation, scientific writing, cover letters, reports, newsletters, or other prose so it reads more naturally.
Why use it?
It helps when a draft sounds generic, repetitive, or obviously generated. The workflow focuses on the wording itself rather than changing the underlying subject matter.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is every-app/open-seo's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on open-seo itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything open-seo configures →

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

deslop 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 8d 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.

Deslop: Remove AI Writing Patterns from Prose

Strip predictable AI patterns from writing. Make prose sound like a specific human wrote it, not like a language model generated it.

When to Apply

  • Any request to "make it sound human" or "deslop" writing
  • Any prose (articles, blog posts, essays, memos, newsletters, reports) or scientific writing (manuscripts, abstracts, cover letters, grant narratives, discussion sections, peer review responses) where the user wants it to sound natural rather than AI-generated
  • Editing or revising existing text where the user wants it to sound natural rather than AI-generated
  • Reviewing text for AI tells

Core Rules

1. Cut filler phrases

Remove throat-clearing openers ("Here's the thing:"), emphasis crutches ("Let that sink in."), business jargon ("navigate the landscape"), and meta-commentary ("In this section, we'll explore..."). See references/phrases.md for the full catalog.

2. Break formulaic structures

Avoid binary contrasts ("Not X. Y."), negative listings ("Not a X. Not a Y. A Z."), dramatic fragmentation ("Speed. That's it. That's the tradeoff."), self-posed rhetorical questions ("The result? Devastating."), and anaphora/tricolon abuse. See references/structures.md for patterns and fixes.

3. Eliminate AI tropes

Watch for the full catalog of AI writing tells: "quietly" and other magic adverbs, "delve" and its cousins, the "serves as" dodge, false ranges ("from X to Y" where the range is meaningless), superficial participle analyses ("highlighting its importance"), invented concept labels ("the supervision paradox"), grandiose stakes inflation, patronizing analogies, and false vulnerability. See references/tropes.md for the complete list with examples.

4. Use active voice with human subjects

Prefer active constructions with named actors. "The complaint becomes a fix" is wrong. "The team fixed it" is right. If no specific person fits, use "we" in scientific prose or "you" in blog posts.

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.
