What it does
No AI Slop is an agent skill from realrossmanngroup/no_ai_slop_writing_rules. Rules and worked examples for writing prose that does not read like AI-generated slop. Consult before writing or editing any prose.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ai-writing-detection.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code reference: write in Louis Rossmann's voice, never like AI slop. Portable CLAUDE.md plus skills.
When your agent uses it
- Agent Workflows work in your project
Example prompts
- “Use the no-ai-slop skill to rule and worked examples for writing prose that does not read like AI-generated slop”
- “/no-ai-slop”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Search for the emdash character. Remove every one (Rule 1).
- Scan for banned verbs (delve, leverage, utilize, foster, bolster, underscore, unveil, streamline) and replace with plain equivalents.
- Scan for banned adjectives and intensifiers (robust, comprehensive, pivotal, seamless, significantly, extremely, truly) and cut or replace.
- Scan for banned transitions and openers (Furthermore, Moreover, That being said, In today's world, It's worth noting that).
- Check every number: is it real and attributable? If not, cut it (Rule 2).
- Check every sentence ends on a concrete detail, not an assertion of importance (Rule 5).
- Check headings: does each name the content rather than tease it (Rule 16)?
- Check for repeated points and repeated section shapes (Rules 6, 7).
- Count hedging markers per paragraph. More than three is a red flag.
- Read it aloud. If a phrase would sound unnatural to a colleague, rewrite it.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 35e32ae. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
No AI Slop loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 774 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 774 words (~1,431 tokens).
“The full rule list lives in the project CLAUDE.md (rules 1 through 24). This skill turns the rules that have worked examples into actionable guidance: each shows a WRONG version (the slop) and a RIGHT version (the fix). The pattern…”
