Robert Ta built StopSlop, a GitHub tool that removes filler phrases and throat-clearing from AI-generated text. It catches about 85% of the junk, but you still need a human to fix what's left and give it a real voice.
Stop Slop. Thousands of developers needed a skill file to stop Claude from sounding like Claude. Stop Slop is this GitHub project with a skill file that is just a skill for removing AI tells from your copy or your writing. There are a bunch of phrases and stuff here that stops up, stops your slop from getting out the door. Cut filler. Phrases, remove throat clearing openers, emphasis crutches, and all adverbs.
I guess what I'm wondering is when it says don't do this, does it give better alternatives? I mean, is it really actually able to morph the embedding structure into something that's going to be better writing when it removes these kind of phrases?
This is how I think of it, like I use AI to create me something that's like maybe 80% there, and the last mile, 20%, it's got to be me. And this may be removes like 85%. Like, I, I think it, when I've used this, it still comes out feeling AI-like and there's no soul to it, so to speak. Uh, for any AI builder out there that's gotta create content or write stuff, uh, that goes out to other humans and you don't want it being sloppy, check out StopSlop. I think it's a pretty decent skill. I've used it a bunch myself.
