remove-ai-slop

Audit the actual interface, not just a list of fashionable motifs. Remove unmistakable defaults forcefully. Judge softer patterns by whether they fit the product, content, and brand or merely repeat a learned template.

Never turn the cleanup into another house style. Do not make every interface flat, dark, minimally rounded, or monochrome by default.

Use three verdicts

HARD BAN

Use this only when the element meets one of the exact definitions below. One confirmed occurrence is enough. Report it directly and recommend removal. Do not write “consider,” “could,” “may,” or “if desired.”

Use this verdict:

HARD BAN — [pattern]. [Why it fails]. Remove it. [Repair direction].

Allow only the narrow semantic exceptions listed with that pattern. “It is a brand choice” is not evidence by itself.

STRONG PRESUMPTION

Use this for patterns that can work but usually read as defaults when unsupported or repeated. Require a concrete product, content, functional, or documented brand reason to keep one.
