unslop-reasoning

Strip AI-slop patterns from reasoning traces (chain-of-thought, extended thinking, agent decomposition) — not final prose. Reasoning text has its own slop catalog that regular unslop doesn't target: over-explaining the question, over-hedging, over-decomposing trivial problems into 6-bullet substeps, infinite-loop rationalization. Trigger: /unslop-reasoning, "clean up my reasoning", "fix this chain of thought", "this CoT sounds robotic". Applies to reasoning output; does not override regular /unslop mode.

# unslop-reasoning

## Purpose

The regular unslop skill targets prose. Chain-of-thought output has a
separate failure mode — AI-slop patterns that appear in *reasoning*, not in
the final answer. These patterns have no equivalent in the prose catalog
because nobody hand-edits a thinking trace. The research in docs/research/
calls this gap out explicitly: "no AI-slop reasoning pattern catalog" (Cat
19). This skill fills it.

Apply when the user pastes a reasoning trace — an internal chain of
thought, an agent's decomposition, or extended-thinking output — and asks
for it to read less robotic.
