What it does
Stop Slop is an agent skill from Xe/site. Remove AI writing patterns from prose. Use when drafting, editing, or reviewing text to eliminate predictable AI tells.
Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `CHANGELOG.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/phrases.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: The new frontend/backend code for https://xeiaso.net. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing text to eliminate predictable AI tells
- Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text
Example prompts
- “/stop-slop”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Cut filler phrases. Remove throat-clearing openers and emphasis crutches.
- Break formulaic structures. Avoid binary contrasts, dramatic
- Vary rhythm. Mix sentence lengths. Two items beat three. End paragraphs
- Trust readers. State facts directly. Skip softening, justification,
- Cut quotables. If it sounds like a pull-quote, rewrite it.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 45c532e. 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
Stop Slop loads about 423 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 139 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.

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.
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.
