Unslop

Edit text to remove AI patterns and add human voice. This applies to everything you write, not just documents someone asked for: PR bodies, commit messages, changelog entries, and the prose paragraphs inside a SKILL.md all leak the same tells.

Two failure modes, not one. Slop is the obvious one. The other is what you get when you strip the slop and stop there: correct, flat, voiceless text that reads like a compliance form. Fix both in the same pass.

For prose that lives inside code, see comments. The rule there is the same rule here, aimed at a smaller target.

Process

1. Scan for the patterns below.
2. Rewrite. Preserve meaning, match intended tone.
3. Add soul (next section).
4. Self-audit. Ask "what makes this obviously AI generated?" and fix what is left.
