unslop

unslop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,320 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing-editing guide that removes padded, vague, and overly complicated language often produced by AI.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review articles, documentation, messages, and other writing for promotional wording, vague sources, clichés, and unnecessary complexity.
Why use it?
It makes text harder to read and can hide the actual point. This guide helps keep the meaning while making the wording clearer and more neutral.

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

unslop 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 7d 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.

Unslop

Edit text to remove AI patterns that make text unnecessary complex and difficult to read.

Process

  1. Scan for the patterns below.
  2. Rewrite. Preserve meaning, match intended tone.

Patterns to detect and fix

Content

  1. Puffery. "pivotal moment", "testament to", "evolving landscape", "setting the stage for", "indelible mark", "deeply rooted". Cut puffery, state what happened.
  2. Name-dropping. Listing media outlets without context. Pick one, say what was said.
  3. Superficial -ing phrases. "highlighting...", "ensuring...", "reflecting...", "showcasing...", "fostering...". Delete or expand with real sources.
  4. Promotional language. "nestled", "vibrant", "breathtaking", "groundbreaking", "renowned", "stunning", "must-visit". Use neutral descriptions.
  5. Vague attributions. "Experts believe", "Industry reports suggest", "Some critics argue". Name the source or delete.
  6. Formulaic challenges. "Despite challenges... continues to thrive." Replace with specific facts.

Language

  1. AI vocabulary. Additionally, crucial, delve, enduring, enhance, fostering, garner, interplay, intricate, landscape (abstract), pivotal, showcase, tapestry (abstract), testament, underscore, vibrant. Replace with plain words.
  2. Fancy ways to say "is". "serves as", "stands as", "boasts", "features". Just say "is" or "has".
  3. "Not just X, but Y." State the point directly instead.
  4. Synonym cycling. Protagonist, main character, central figure, hero all in one paragraph. Pick one, repeat it.
  5. False ranges. "from X to Y" where X and Y aren't on a meaningful scale. List topics directly.

Style

  1. Colon overuse. Colons are fine before a list or example. Not as mid-sentence connectors. "If you're coming from traditional automation: instead of registering event handlers, you describe conditions" adds nothing with the colon. Rewrite to let the point stand on its own without comparison framing. "Describing when the scheduler should fire works best as plain English." Same meaning, no crutch punctuation.
  2. Inline-header lists. The tell is a bold label and colon that restates the line: "Performance: Performance improved...". Convert those to prose. A bold lead-in that ends in a period, names the item, and is followed by genuinely new detail ("Schema in TypeScript. Tables live in one file.") is fine, not a tell.
  3. Title case headings. Use sentence case.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
