Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00026 | $0.00647 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00324 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00129 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
stop-slop 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Stop Slop
Eliminate predictable AI writing patterns from prose.
Core Rules
-
Cut filler phrases. Remove throat-clearing openers and emphasis crutches. See references/phrases.md.
-
Break formulaic structures. Avoid binary contrasts, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups. See references/structures.md.
-
Vary rhythm. Mix sentence lengths. Two items beat three. End paragraphs differently.
-
Trust readers. State facts directly. Skip softening, justification, hand-holding.
-
Cut quotables. If it sounds like a pull-quote, rewrite it.
Quick Checks
Before delivering prose:
- Three consecutive sentences match length? Break one.
- Paragraph ends with punchy one-liner? Vary it.
- Em-dash before a reveal? Remove it.
- Explaining a metaphor? Trust it to land.
- Same concept called three different names? Pick one and repeat it.
- "Serves as" or "stands as" where "is" works? Use "is."
- Stacked "from X to Y" ranges? Pick one specific example.
- Closing paragraph could apply to any article? Make it specific.
- Caption or alt text explains how the image was made, or why it beats a stock photo? Replace it with what the image shows, or remove it.
Self-Audit (Final Pass)
After writing, ask: "What makes this obviously AI-generated?" Read every paragraph looking for:
- Synonym cycling (same thing, different words each time)
- -ing gerund clusters (highlighting, showcasing, fostering)
- Significance inflation (testament, pivotal, transformative)
- False comprehensiveness (from X to Y, whether A or B)
- Generic optimistic closing
Fix every instance found. Then read once more.
Scoring
Rate 1-10 on each dimension:
| Dimension | Question |
|---|---|
| Directness | Statements or announcements? |
| Rhythm | Varied or metronomic? |
| Trust | Respects reader intelligence? |
| Authenticity | Sounds human? |
| Density | Anything cuttable? |
Below 35/50: revise.
This grid is a quick self-check, not a gate. For a scored audit with severity tiers, run the sibling slop-detector skill: exact production-narration constructions fail outright, broad lexical matches only prompt review, and the advisory score (0 to 5 clean, 6 to 15 needs editing, 16+ rewrite) decides pass or fail.
What ships with it
4 files 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.
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.

stop-slop is a skill published in the GitHub repository wpgaurav/claude-code-skills (3 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 647 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
