slop-gate

Deterministic pre-publish scan that refuses AI-slop tells in anything about to be written, published, or sent: files, artifacts, slide titles, table headers, diagram labels, chat messages, commit messages. Use before publishing or sending any deliverable, in CI, or wired as a Claude Code hook so the check runs without being remembered. The editorial counterpart is no-ai-slop, which rewrites; this one blocks.

# slop-gate

`no-ai-slop` is an editor you invoke. This is a gate that runs whether or not anyone
remembers it. It scans outgoing text, refuses on a tell, and returns the hit list so
the rewrite is targeted.

Two rules make it usable rather than annoying: hard tells fail on a single hit, and
words that are decoration at volume but legitimate once are counted rather than
banned. Text inside quotes or backticks is stripped before scanning, so a piece that
quotes a tell as an exhibit does not fail on its own examples.
