Problem

AI makes it easy to generate clean writing that all sounds the same. Even the best models keep producing lines like:

When you use AI to edit, it can also smooth away the vocabulary, cadence, humor, and imperfections that make the writing sound like you.

How to install No AI Slop

The easiest way to install the skill is to paste this into ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, or your favorite coding agent:

Install the /no-ai-slop skill globally from https://github.com/petergyang/no-ai-slop

You can also install it with npx:

npx skills add petergyang/no-ai-slop --skill no-ai-slop --global --yes

How to use No AI Slop

Edit your writing

/no-ai-slop (your writing)

The skill removes the AI slop patterns, preserves your personal voice, and lists what it changed.

Detect slop

/no-ai-slop is this slop? (your writing)

The skill quotes every slop pattern it found without guessing whether AI wrote the text.

Generate slop for fun

Draft an AI slop post about (topic)

Use it to generate the most cringe AI slop possible as satire.

The slop that this skill catches

No AI Slop checks for 20+ patterns, including:

  1. Binary contrasts. “It’s not X. It’s Y.”
  2. Throat-clearing openers. “Here’s the thing,” “Let me be clear”
  3. Faux-insight setups. “What nobody tells you,” “The part everyone misses”
  4. Colon reveals. “The best part: it learns.”
  5. Dramatic fragments. “That’s it. That’s the whole thing.”
  6. Superficial analysis. “highlighting the team’s commitment to innovation”
  7. Importance puffery. “marks a pivotal moment,” “a testament to”
  8. Weasel attribution. “experts agree,” “studies show”
  9. Synonym cycling. “The agent handles your email. The assistant drafts replies.”
  10. Fake-profound endings. “The future isn’t coming. It’s already here.”

It also checks the fundamentals: Lead with the point when that helps, use active voice, untangle hard-to-follow sentences, and prefer concrete details over abstractions.

What’s inside

No AI Slop is also available as a plugin in ChatGPT.

Searching Database…

What is this?No AI Slop is an editing skill that strips 20+ overused AI writing patterns (like 'It's not X. It's Y.' or fake-profound endings) out of any text while keeping your own voice intact, and it can also detect slop or generate parody slop for fun.
Is this a standalone app or something I add to my AI agent?It's a skill (a SKILL.md with rules) plus a plugin package, not a separate app. It plugs into coding agents and is also distributed as a ChatGPT plugin.
Can I install it without pasting a prompt into an agent?Yes, it can also be installed with npx as an alternative to pasting the prompt into an agent.
Does the slop detector try to guess if a text was written by AI?No, the detection mode just quotes the specific slop patterns it finds in the text without making any judgment about whether AI wrote it.
Can I use it to generate AI slop on purpose?Yes, there's a mode specifically for generating the most cringe-worthy AI slop possible as satire.
What files make up the skill package?SKILL.md holds the editing rules and workflow, eval.md holds the checks it runs on its own output, and plugin.json plus buildplugin.py handle the ChatGPT/Codex plugin packaging.
What kinds of slop patterns does it catch?Among others, it flags binary contrasts like 'It's not X, it's Y', throat-clearing openers like 'Here's the thing', faux-insight setups, colon reveals, weasel attribution like 'experts agree', and fake-profound endings.
