What it does

Unslop File is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Humanize natural-language memory files (CLAUDE.md, todos, preferences, docs) by removing AI-isms and adding burstiness while preserving every code block, URL, path, command, and heading exactly.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Humanizing AI text and Agent instruction files. 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
  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

Example prompts

  • “/unslop-file”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Docker
  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate the directory containing this SKILL.md and its scripts/ sibling.
  2. Run from that directory: python3 -m scripts (LLM mode), or add --deterministic for the regex pass.
  3. CLI flow: detect file type → write .original.md backup → humanize → validate (preserve check + AI-ism residual check) → on validation…
  4. On final failure: report errors, restore original, exit 2.
  5. On success: report path of humanized file and .original.md backup, exit 0.
  6. Return result to user.

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:

    • claude
    • python3
    • npm
    • git
    • docker

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, git and docker, 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 File loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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 Humanize

When to Use

Use this skill when you need humanize natural-language memory files (CLAUDE.md, todos, preferences, docs) by removing AI-isms and adding burstiness while preserving every code block, URL, path, command, and heading exactly. Two modes: --deterministic (fast, regex-based, no API) and LLM (default, calls Claude for...

Purpose

Rewrite natural-language memory files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, todos, preferences, docs) so they sound human-written: no sycophancy, no stock vocab, no five-paragraph essay shape, no tricolon padding. Everything technical stays exact: code blocks, inline code, URLs, file paths, commands, headings, tables.

Two modes:

  • --deterministic — fast regex pass that strips canonical AI-isms and tightens tricolons. No API call, no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY needed. Best for batch processing and CI.
  • LLM mode (default) — calls Claude (via Anthropic SDK or claude --print CLI fallback) to do a full rewrite that engineers burstiness, restructures performative paragraphs, and matches voice. Slower but better quality.

Humanized version overwrites the original. A FILE.original.md backup is written first. Re-run after editing the .original.md to regenerate.

Intensity levels (--mode)
ModeWhat runsUse when…
subtleStock vocab only.Structure is fine; you just want AI vocabulary gone.
balanced(Default.) Sycophancy, hedging, transitions, stock vocab, authority tropes, signposting, performative balance, em-dash cap.Everyday docs / READMEs / CLAUDE.md.
fullBalanced + filler phrases + negative-parallelism tricolons + stronger LLM prompt.Marketing copy, release notes, slop-heavy LLM output.
Two-pass audit

Use the deterministic pass to get a report, then fix anything that slipped:

bash
humanize --deterministic --report audit.json doc.md     # writes audit + humanized
humanize doc.md                                         # optional LLM polish on top

audit.json lists every rule that fired, every before → after pair, and counts_by_rule. Great for reviewing what the regex changed before trusting the diff to merge.

Trigger

/unslop-file <filepath>, /unslop:humanize <filepath>, or "humanize memory file", "de-slop this doc", "strip AI tone from this file".

Process

The scripts live in a scripts/ directory adjacent to this SKILL.md.

Common layouts:

  • Full repo: unslop/SKILL.md + unslop/scripts/
  • Synced mirror: skills/unslop-file/SKILL.md + skills/unslop-file/scripts/
  • Codex bundle: plugins/unslop/skills/unslop-file/SKILL.md + sibling scripts/

Always prefer the scripts/ sibling of the currently loaded SKILL file.

Steps:

  1. Locate the directory containing this SKILL.md and its scripts/ sibling.
  2. Run from that directory: python3 -m scripts <absolute_filepath> (LLM mode), or add --deterministic for the regex pass.
  3. CLI flow: detect file type → write .original.md backup → humanize → validate (preserve check + AI-ism residual check) → on validation error: targeted fix call (LLM mode) → retry up to 2 times.
  4. On final failure: report errors, restore original, exit 2.
  5. On success: report path of humanized file and .original.md backup, exit 0.
  6. Return result to user.

Humanization Rules

Remove (canonical AI-isms)
  • Sycophancy openers: "Great question!", "Certainly!", "Absolutely!", "Sure!", "I'd be happy to help", "What a fascinating..."
  • Stock vocab: delve, tapestry, testament (praise form), navigate/embark/journey (figurative), realm, landscape (figurative), pivotal, paramount, seamless, holistic, leverage (filler verb), robust (filler), comprehensive (when "complete" works), cutting-edge, state-of-the-art (filler), interplay, intricate, vibrant, underscore(s)/d/ing (figurative), crucial, vital (role/importance/part), ever-evolving, ever-changing, in today's (digital) world/age, dynamic landscape.
  • Hedging openers: "It's important to note that", "It's worth mentioning", "Generally speaking", "In essence", "At its core", "It should be noted that", "It's also worth pointing out".
  • Authority tropes (sentence start): "At its core,", "In reality,", "Fundamentally,", "What really matters is", "The heart of the matter is", "At the heart of X is/lies".
  • Signposting announcements: "Let's dive in(to ...)", "Let's break this down", "Here's what you need to know", "Without further ado", "In this article, I'll ...", "Buckle up".
  • Transition tics (sentence start): "Furthermore,", "Moreover,", "Additionally,", "In conclusion,", "To summarize,".
  • Performative balance: "however" / "on the other hand" appended to every claim.
  • Em-dash pileups (more than two em-dashes per paragraph).
  • Filler phrases (--mode full only): "in order to" → "to", "due to the fact that" → "because", "prior to" → "before", "with regard to" → "about", "a wide variety of" → "many", "at this point in time" → "now", "the fact that" → "that", etc.
  • Negative-parallelism tricolons (--mode full only): "No guesswork, no bloat, no surprises." — the rhetorical triple-no punch.
Tighten
  • Tricolons: "X, Y, and Z" stacks where two would suffice — keep two, drop the weakest
  • Bullet soup: three bullets that say the same thing → merge into one sentence
  • Five-paragraph essay shapes: vary paragraph length; don't write four paragraphs of identical length
Show full SKILL.md (447 more words)Show less
Preserve EXACTLY (never modify)
  • Fenced code blocks (...) — every byte
  • Indented code blocks (4-space)
  • Inline code (...)
  • URLs and markdown links
  • File paths (./src/, /etc/, C:\Users\...)
  • Commands (npm install, git rebase, docker run)
  • Technical terms, proper nouns, API names
  • Dates, version numbers, numerics
  • Environment variables ($HOME, ${NODE_ENV})
Preserve structure
  • All markdown headings (text exact)
  • Bullet hierarchy and nesting
  • Numbered lists
  • Tables (compress cells; keep structure)
  • YAML frontmatter
CRITICAL RULE

Everything inside ``` ... ``` is read-only. No comment changes, no whitespace changes, no line reordering. Inline backticks: same. Code is the substrate; humanization only operates on prose between code regions.

Pattern (before → after)

#BeforeAfter (deterministic, --mode balanced)

  • Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing — public taxonomy cross-referenced for vocab.
  • Full comparison + gap analysis: docs/research/IMPLEMENTATION_TRACE.md.

Boundaries

  • Only operate on .md, .txt, .markdown, .rst, or extensionless natural language.
  • Never modify .py, .js, .ts, .json, .yaml, .yml, .toml, .env, .lock, .css, .html, .xml, .sql, .sh.
  • Mixed prose-and-code files: humanize only the prose; leave fenced code untouched.
  • If unsure whether a file is prose or code: leave unchanged.
  • Backup FILE.original.md is written before overwrite. Never humanize a file already named *.original.md.
  • Sensitive paths (anything matching .env*, *.pem, *.key, ~/.ssh/, ~/.aws/, etc.) are refused before any read or API call.
  • Files larger than 500 KB are refused.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
  • Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
  • Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
