unslop

Unslop

Humanize AI-generated prose. Audit first. Rewrite only when the user asks for a rewrite.

For every audit or rewrite, read references/core-contract.md. It is the single behavior contract. Command files define routing and mechanics; presets supply optional voice, but neither can override the core contract.

Routing

When the user invokes a sub-command (/unslop teach ..., /unslop cleanup ...), you MUST read references/commands/<command>.md before acting. Non-optional — the command file defines the flow, and skipping it drops steps the user expects. A bare /unslop <text> with no leading command word defaults to rewrite. If the first word does not match a command but the intent clearly maps to one (e.g. "flag the AI tells, don't change anything" → cleanup report-only), load that command file and proceed as if invoked.

Command	Purpose	File
rewrite	Default two-pass de-slop: diagnose, reconstruct under the guards, validate.	references/commands/rewrite.md
cleanup	Co-writer: cheap detection, reviewable suggestions with contract gates; includes report-only "flag, change nothing".	references/commands/cleanup.md
teach	Agent-driven voice building: harvest, approve, profile, layered card, scored demo.	references/commands/teach.md
mimic	Voiced drafting or rewriting under the full gates; refine loop when one pass falls short.	references/commands/mimic.md
maintenance	Turn a wild AI-ism into an eval row and a PR (not a top-level verb).	references/commands/contribute.md

Routing by phrase

Sub-flows are reachable by their natural names without being top-level verbs. When the user says any of these, load the named file and jump to the flow:

The user says	Go to
audit / "just flag it" / "don't change anything"	references/commands/cleanup.md
review / "review this before I publish"	references/commands/cleanup.md
harvest / "what writing of mine do you have?"	references/commands/teach.md
calibrate / "the A/B game" / "quiz me on my voice"	references/commands/teach.md
refine / "keep pushing until it sounds like me"	references/commands/mimic.md
voice check / "does this sound like me?"	references/commands/mimic.md
"found a new AI-ism" / "add this tell"	references/commands/contribute.md

Interface

Argument	Description	Default
--preset	Voice style: crisp, warm, expert, story	crisp
--strict	Fail if rubric score < 32/40	false
--report	Flag AI patterns without changing the text (cleanup)	false
Input	Text to transform (argument, file path, or stdin)	required

Read one preset from presets/ before writing.

Preset	Style	Best For
crisp	Short, direct, no fluff	Technical writing, documentation
warm	Friendly, conversational	Emails, blog posts
expert	Authoritative, confident	Thought leadership, articles
story	Narrative flow, show don't tell	Case studies, personal posts

Rewrite, preservation, register, and validation behavior lives only in references/core-contract.md; do not recreate or override those rules here.

Output Format

For a quick rewrite, return the cleaned text only. For audit-only (cleanup --report):

## Issues Found

- [Quoted issue, category, severity, why it reads as AI]

## Assessment

- [Which issues are clear problems]
- [Which issues are judgment calls or context-dependent]

For strict or requested analysis:

## Transformed Text

[The humanized version]

## Validation

- Constraints: [X]/[Y] preserved
- AI patterns: [N] remaining (was [M])
- Structure: [pass/fail]
- Readability: Grade [X], sentence variance [Y]
- Change: [X]% from original
- Score: [X]/40

Reference Files

File	When to Read
references/commands/*.md	The routed command flows (rewrite, cleanup, teach, mimic, contribute).
references/pipeline.md	Orchestrated tiered execution for multi-agent harnesses.
references/taboo-phrases.md	Authoritative phrase catalog and scanner categories.
references/fact-preservation.md	Constraint preservation rules.
references/rewrite-examples.md	Executable before/after examples.
references/{mimic,harvest,calibrate}.md	Voice-tool internals loaded by their routed command.
references/{rubric,edit-library,maintenance}.md	Strict scoring, examples, and contribution procedures.
presets/*.md	Voice-specific deltas.

Maintenance

The eval contracts define the product. Add scanner examples eval-first in evals/fixtures/contracts/scanner-examples.json; use evals/adversarial-evals.json for agent behavior and routing. Do not edit legacy evals/evals.json. New patterns need a false-negative example and a false-positive protection example. Agent behavior changes need a skill row and a regenerated shared benchmark. For the concrete procedures (add a phrase or structure, list current patterns, sync with Wikipedia's signs-of-AI-writing page), read references/maintenance.md. Found a new AI-ism in the wild? references/commands/contribute.md turns the exact snippet into a contract example and a structured PR, keeping both user-confirmation gates.
