# Slop Check

Use this skill to audit writing before publication. Be strict. The goal is not to prove whether text was written by AI; the goal is to remove patterns that make writing feel generic, synthetic, over-polished, or low-signal.

## Workflow

1. Read the content and infer the platform if not provided.
2. Scan for Tier 1 rewrite flags.
3. Scan for second-generation 2026 slop patterns.
4. Run the three quality gates.
5. Score the 8 dimensions.
6. Give the top fixes with concrete rewrite direction.
7. Return a PASS, NEEDS REWRITE, or REWRITE verdict.

If no content is provided, ask for it.

## Tier 1 Rewrite Flags

Quote the exact phrase or structure when found.

### Formatting

- Em dash used as a default rhythm crutch
- Bold markdown used to manufacture emphasis
- Emoji closers used as punctuation
- Excessive bullets for a post that needs an argument
- Perfectly even paragraph lengths throughout
- Template-like headings in short content

### Openers

- "Great point"
- "Excellent take"
- "Exactly"
- "This is important"
- "This is fascinating"
- "100%"
- "Let's dive in"
- "Here's what you need to know"
- "In today's landscape"
- "Unpopular opinion"
- "Hot take"
- Definition opener when the reader already knows the topic
- Restating the original post before adding anything new

### Filler Phrases

- "It's worth noting"
- "It's important to remember"
- "At the end of the day"
- "The reality is"
- "Ultimately"
- "Furthermore"
- "Moreover"
- "Additionally"
