0upvotes

Use when the user wants to humanize text, trim slop, de-AI or de-slop writing, remove AI tells, fix robotic or ChatGPT-sounding prose, or make writing sound human and natural. Also run before delivering a CV, cover letter, email, report, or essay to be sent. Removes 71 documented AI-writing patterns with a local detector, preserves numbers, names and citations, and rebuilds toward a human voice rather than a flat husk. Mode-aware, so it never fabricates voice on factual content.

# Sloptrim

Trims AI slop from text. Works a catalogue of 71 patterns: 62 machine-checked by `scripts/detect.py`, 9 requiring semantic judgment during the rewrite. Of the 62, 50 can move the score; the rest are reported as writing advice and count for nothing. Mode-aware so it does not invent voice on factual content. Preserves facts. Rebuilds the cleaned text toward a selectable human-voice **style profile** so it does not read as a sterile de-AI'd husk.

## Silence

This skill never talks about itself. It hands back the cleaned text and nothing else.

**Never emit:** any announcement that sloptrim ran, style/mode lines, scores or reports, drafts, self-audit notes, facts-preserved lines, change lists, preambles, closing offers.

**Emit only:**
- Text given inline: the final text. Nothing before it, nothing after it.
- A file path given: rewrite the file in place, then one line - the path. Nothing else.
- Fired as a pre-delivery pass on something you were already writing (CV, cover letter, email, report, essay): just deliver the clean text. Do not mention that a pass happened.
