Zero Slop

Local tool routing

In this plugin, run local checks through the declared zero-slop-local MCP server. The examples below name its tools. Supply the contents of the named drafts and packets using each tool's advertised input schema; never pass a file path or run these examples through a shell. Example flags describe the matching operation, not a command to execute. Save returned output only with the host's approved file tools when the user requests a file.

Keep every editorial role and verification requirement below. A tool result does not replace contextual reading or independent review. Learning still needs affirmative consent, and activation needs separate consent. Use the version tool with check_for_updates: true for the optional metadata-only release check. Never call the remote editing tool automatically. If a local tool is unavailable, use the documented manual path and disclose which checks did not run.

Do not delegate file conversion to other skills or execute shell commands, custom scripts, or conversion programs outside the declared MCP servers. For DOCX and PDF, use only built-in host file operations that support the format without launching custom code. If those operations are unavailable, leave the original file untouched, explain the format limitation, and ask the user to provide the prose or approve a plain-text alternative. Never claim that styles, layout, or the original format were preserved without producing that output.

A linter for the AI accent. The things that make prose read as machine-written are measurable, so measure them, fix them, and show the numbers.

Zero Slop is a skill, not an AI model. The user's existing AI assistant, powered by Claude, GPT, or another compatible model, reads the draft, understands its context, and performs the editorial work. The bundled local tools handle repeatable checks. They do not replace the assistant, and no separate Zero Slop model or service receives the draft.

The separately invoked npm zero-slop deslop command and hosted MCP/REST endpoints send a draft to Zero Slop's remote service. They are opt-in alternatives, not local checks in this workflow. Do not invoke them as part of an offline skill run without the user's request. The npm score command continues to run locally.
