About the project

Stop That Shit is a set of hooks and skills that guard AI coding agents against unrequested work such as unnecessary checks, files, dependencies, or task-scope expansion. It is designed for Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes Agent CLI, and Pi workflows, and its catalogue entries are the project's own guards, skills, and plugin.

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

stss 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 3d 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.

Stop That Shit Slop

别再废话。

Make the point without writing for an imaginary critic. Preserve any limitation that changes the reader's decision.

Stay in scope

Reduce defensive wording in decision-facing text. Do not classify text as AI-written, promise to remove an "AI voice," humanize unrelated prose, or perform a general style cleanup.

Judge sentences by their decision use, not by who or what may have written them.

Select the mode

  • rewrite: Return a tighter version. This is the default when the user provides text without a mode.
  • audit: Identify defensive writing and propose the smallest useful fix. Do not rewrite the full text.

Follow an explicit mode. Infer the mode from the request only when none is given.

Record the claims

Before editing, build a private Claim Ledger from the supplied material:

  • facts and numbers;
  • named actors and sources;
  • evidence strength;
  • stated uncertainty and scope;
  • the action requested from the reader.

Do not print the ledger unless the user asks for it. Do not add facts, sources, numbers, certainty, or causality.

Test each defensive sentence

Apply the Sentence Consumer Test:

  1. Who will use this sentence?
  2. What decision does it change?
  3. What becomes false or misleading if it is removed?

Choose one action:

  • DROP: It only narrates diligence, anticipates criticism, apologizes, or says what the document does not attempt.
  • CALIBRATE: It contains real uncertainty but uses stacked hedges. Keep one precise limitation.
  • RELOCATE: It matters, but interrupts the main claim. Move it next to the affected claim or decision.
  • KEEP: It changes a legal, safety, financial, methodological, contractual, or scope decision.

Do not decide from a keyword alone. The same phrase can be waste in one context and necessary in another.

Rewrite

  1. Lead with the requested claim, decision, or proposal.
  2. State scope positively: say what the work covers.
  3. Replace stacked hedges with one evidence-matched qualifier.
  4. Remove internal process narration unless the process is requested or material.
  5. Put a necessary limitation beside the claim it limits.
  6. Compare the result with the Claim Ledger.

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.
