Deslop: Remove AI Writing Patterns from Prose

Strip predictable AI patterns from writing. Make prose sound like a specific human wrote it, not like a language model generated it.

When to Apply

• Any request to "make it sound human" or "deslop" writing
• Any prose (articles, blog posts, essays, memos, newsletters, reports) or scientific writing (manuscripts, abstracts, cover letters, grant narratives, discussion sections, peer review responses) where the user wants it to sound natural rather than AI-generated
• Editing or revising existing text where the user wants it to sound natural rather than AI-generated
• Reviewing text for AI tells

Core Rules

1. Cut filler phrases

Remove throat-clearing openers ("Here's the thing:"), emphasis crutches ("Let that sink in."), business jargon ("navigate the landscape"), and meta-commentary ("In this section, we'll explore..."). See references/phrases.md for the full catalog.

2. Break formulaic structures
