Audit, grade, and rewrite generic AI-slop patterns in prose, social posts, UI/design, and code. Use when asked to de-slop writing, humanize AI copy, grade a draft, review a landing page or generated interface, remove vague claims and repetitive rhetoric, or inspect AI-written code for generic abstractions and happy-path-only logic.

When your agent uses it
Audit, grade, rewrite, and issue funny evidence-backed tickets for generic AI-slop patterns in prose, social posts, UI/design, and code. Use when asked to de-slop writing, humanize AI copy, grade a draft, review a landing page or generated interface, remove vague claims and repetitive rhetoric, inspect AI-written code for generic abstractions and happy-path-only logic, or ticket someone for a specific quality offense. Do not use to determine whether AI authored something.

# Slop Cop
Slop Cop is a quality-control skill for three beats: **prose**, **design**, and
**code**. It names observable problems and fixes them without treating style as
proof of AI authorship.
## Non-negotiable boundaries
**Zero-tolerance word: `quietly`.** Never introduce or retain this word in prose. Delete it or replace it with the specific action, mechanism, condition, or observable consequence. This rule has no contextual exceptions.
1. **Quality, not detection.** Say “generic,” “formulaic,” “unsupported,” or
“repetitive.” Never conclude that text, UI, or code was AI-generated from
style alone.
2. **Preserve truth and voice.** Keep supplied facts, quotations, technicalView the complete source on GitHubSkills included
