# antislop-copywriting

> Anti Slop: Rules for AI Coding Agents. Copy & Text skill

> Part of the antislop system. Read together with `antislop.md` (the core). This skill deep-dives the copy and text concern: headlines, CTAs, tone, value propositions, and the patterns that make AI-written prose easy to spot. It references core rules by number and never duplicates or renumbers them. Load it when the task writes or edits marketing copy, product copy, landing-page text, or any prose meant for people to read.

## How to use this skill

- Load together with `antislop.md` whenever the task is copy or text work. The core holds the mechanism (the purpose test, the three tiers, the Delivery Gate) and the hard bans (R-02, R-15, R-16, R-17, R-18, R-36, R-38). This skill holds copy-specific depth that the core does not.
- Every pattern has the same shape: **The pattern**, **Why it reads as AI**, **Before** (the slop), **After** (the fix), with the governing core rule cited as R-XX.
- Two rules apply to everything below:
  - **Never invent facts** (R-17, R-36, R-38). A rewrite adds no fact, name, number, date, quote, or citation that is not in the source text or supplied by the user. Specificity comes from the source or the user, not from the rewrite. If a sentence needs real detail to work, ask for it or write the plain version without it.
  - **Do not over-sterilize.** Avoiding AI patterns is half the job. Copy with no voice is as obviously machine-made as copy full of AI tells (R-37). When a user supplies a voice, keep it.
- The Delivery Gate in the core remains the gate. The "Copywriting Skill Checklist" at the end of this file is the copy-specific supplement to run alongside it.
