At a glance

Remove AI writing patterns from prose so it reads like a person wrote it.

  • Reviewing user-facing text (blog posts
  • SKILL.md covers Cut or rewrite, Keep and Example
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • PR descriptions)

What it does

Deslop is an agent skill from every-app/open-seo. Remove AI writing patterns from prose so it reads like a person wrote it. Use when writing, editing, or reviewing user-facing text (blog posts, docs, marketing copy, PR descriptions), or when asked to "deslop", "de-AI", or "make it sound human".

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: Open source alternative to Semrush and Ahrefs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing user-facing text (blog posts
  • PR descriptions)
  • Asked to deslop
  • Make it sound human

Example prompts

  • “deslop”
  • “make it sound human”
  • “/deslop”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit deb4491. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deslop loads about 602 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~602

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Deslop

Make prose sound like a specific person wrote it. Fix each tell by stating the underlying claim plainly, not by swapping in a new flourish.

Cut or rewrite

  • Filler: throat-clearing ("Here's the thing:"), emphasis crutches ("Let that sink in."), meta-commentary ("In this section, we'll explore..."), "It's worth noting," and business jargon ("navigate the landscape," "leverage").
  • Staged contrasts like "Not X. Y." or "It's not X, it's Y." State Y.
  • Manufactured rhythm: dramatic fragments ("Speed. That's it."), rhetorical questions answered right away ("The result? Devastating."), three-part phrasing that exists only for cadence ("fast, simple, and powerful"), and paragraphs that end on a one-liner restating the paragraph.
  • AI vocabulary: "delve," "tapestry," "quietly," "serves as," "highlighting its importance," invented concept labels ("the supervision paradox"), and inflated stakes.
  • Vagueness: declaratives that name nothing ("The reasons are structural"), "experts argue" with no name, and "every," "always" or "never" doing vague work.
  • False agency, where a thing does a person's verb ("the complaint becomes a fix"). Name who did it.
  • Signposting: announcing what you're about to say, then summarizing what you said. "In conclusion." "Despite these challenges."
  • Formatting tells: em dashes, unicode arrows, and lists where every item opens with a bolded keyword.

Keep

Specifics (names, numbers, examples), "you" for the reader in blog posts, varied sentence length, and short plain lines that carry information. Keep bullet points and numbered steps for actions and instructions; don't fold them back into paragraphs. When editing someone else's writing, keep their voice.

Example

Before: "Here's the thing: most pipelines break in production. Not because the code is bad. Because the data is bad. Let that sink in."

After: "Most pipelines break in production. The code runs fine. The data doesn't match the assumptions baked into it."
