unslop

unslop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tellahq/opensession. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,619 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for editing text to remove formulaic AI wording while keeping the original meaning. It also checks that the result has a natural, specific human voice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Polish documentation, explanations, and other prose by cutting filler, varying sentence rhythm, and replacing general statements with concrete ones.
Why use it?
It reduces puffery, repetitive structure, vague claims, and other patterns that make writing sound machine-generated.

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 yesterday.

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 and add human voice.

Process

  1. Scan for the patterns below.
  2. Rewrite. Preserve meaning, match intended tone.
  3. Add soul (see next section).
  4. Self-audit: "What makes this obviously AI generated?" Fix remaining tells.

Adding soul

Removing patterns is half the job. Sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious.

  • Have opinions. React to facts instead of neutrally listing pros and cons.
  • Vary rhythm. Short sentences. Then longer ones that take their time. Mix it up.
  • Acknowledge complexity. "Impressive but also kind of unsettling" beats "impressive."
  • Use "I" when it fits. First person isn't unprofessional.
  • Let some mess in. Perfect structure looks machine-made.
  • Be specific. Not "this is concerning" but "there's something unsettling about agents churning away at 3am."

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. Rule of three. Forcing ideas into groups of three. Use the natural number.
  5. Synonym cycling. Protagonist, main character, central figure, hero all in one paragraph. Pick one, repeat it.
  6. False ranges. "from X to Y" where X and Y aren't on a meaningful scale. List topics directly.

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.
