Post-process AI-generated text through the unslop CLI to strip AI writing patterns before publishing

  • Works in 3 steps: Pipe Text Through unslop → Use in Shell Pipelines → Integrate into Commit Hooks or CI
  • Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use This Skill, Setup and How It Works, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls pipx and uv; needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

What it does

Unslop is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Post-process AI-generated text through the unslop CLI to strip AI writing patterns before publishing

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text

Example prompts

  • “/unslop”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pipe Text Through unslop
  2. Use in Shell Pipelines
  3. Integrate into Commit Hooks or CI

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pipx
    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pipx and uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Unslop loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 395 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

unslop — Strip AI Writing Patterns via CLI

Overview

unslop is a CLI tool that post-processes text to remove AI writing patterns programmatically. Unlike skills that ask the agent to avoid AI-isms, unslop runs as a deterministic pipeline step: pipe text in, get clean text out. Use it as a final pass before committing docs, publishing posts, or sending any AI-generated content to production.

The --deterministic flag makes output reproducible — same input always produces same output. The --stdin flag reads from stdin, enabling shell pipeline composition.

When to Use This Skill

  • When you have AI-generated text ready to publish and want a final cleanup pass
  • When working in a shell pipeline where text quality needs to be enforced automatically
  • When writing commit hooks or CI steps that validate content before it ships
  • When you need reproducible text normalization across multiple runs

Setup

Install once:

bash
pipx install unslop
# or
uv tool install unslop

Verify:

bash
unslop --version

How It Works

Step 1: Pipe Text Through unslop

Standard cleanup (may vary slightly between runs):

bash
echo "This leverages cutting-edge AI to deliver robust solutions." | unslop --stdin

Deterministic cleanup (same input → same output every run):

bash
echo "This leverages cutting-edge AI to deliver robust solutions." | unslop --stdin --deterministic
Step 2: Use in Shell Pipelines

Pipe the output of any command through unslop:

bash
cat draft.md | unslop --stdin --deterministic > clean.md

Or chain with other tools:

bash
cat draft.md | unslop --stdin --deterministic | pbcopy   # macOS: copy clean text to clipboard
Step 3: Integrate into Commit Hooks or CI

Add to a pre-commit hook or CI step to enforce quality gates on any generated content before it ships:

bash
# In .git/hooks/pre-commit or a CI script
CONTENT=$(cat docs/changelog.md)
CLEANED=$(echo "$CONTENT" | unslop --stdin --deterministic)
if [ "$CONTENT" != "$CLEANED" ]; then
  echo "Changelog contains AI writing patterns. Run: cat docs/changelog.md | unslop --stdin --deterministic > docs/changelog.md"
  exit 1
fi

Examples

Example 1: Clean a Draft Document
bash
cat blog-post-draft.md | unslop --stdin --deterministic > blog-post-final.md
Example 2: Inline Cleanup During Writing
bash
# Write content, pipe through unslop, write result back
cat README.md | unslop --stdin > README.clean.md && mv README.clean.md README.md
Example 3: Validate Before Submitting a PR
bash
# Check if any generated docs need cleanup
for f in docs/*.md; do
  ORIGINAL=$(cat "$f")
  CLEANED=$(echo "$ORIGINAL" | unslop --stdin --deterministic)
  [ "$ORIGINAL" != "$CLEANED" ] && echo "Needs cleanup: $f"
done

Best Practices

  • ✅ Use --deterministic in CI and automation to ensure reproducible output
  • ✅ Run on the final draft, not intermediate iterations
  • ✅ Combine with the avoid-ai-writing skill for both generation-time guidance and post-processing
  • ❌ Don't run on code files — unslop targets prose, not source code
  • ❌ Don't skip review after unslop: automated cleanup can occasionally change meaning; read the output

Limitations

  • Processes prose only — not code, JSON, or structured data
  • Does not catch factual errors or substantive writing issues
  • Some replacements may not fit every context; review the output before publishing
  • Requires Python tooling such as pipx or uv for standalone CLI installation

Security & Safety Notes

  • unslop reads from stdin and writes to stdout — no file system side effects by default
  • --deterministic mode is local and does not make LLM API calls
  • Default LLM mode may use ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or the Claude CLI; use --deterministic for sensitive local files and CI gates
  • Safe to run in CI pipelines and commit hooks when pinned to deterministic mode
