# stop-slop

> A skill file and prompt system for removing AI writing patterns

stop-slop is an open-source Claude skill and prompt reference that detects and removes predictable AI writing habits from prose. It provides clear rules against throat-clearing intros, cliché contrast formulas, false agency, and robotic rhythms to make generated text sound natural. It can be installed as a Claude Code skill, added to Claude Project knowledge, or used directly in system prompts.
