| name | de-slopify |
| description | Remove telltale AI-writing patterns from README, docs, and user-facing text. Must be done line-by-line, manually. No regex. Use after agents write any user-visible prose. |
/de-slopify
AI writing has tells. Emdashes. "It's not just X, it's Y." "Here's
why." Forced enthusiasm. Pseudo-profound openers. These patterns
signal "LLM wrote this" to readers and erode trust in the project.
Prompt
Use the verbatim prompt at .flywheel/prompts/de-slopify.md.
Hard rule
No regex. No script. Read each line. Revise each line
deliberately. Attempts to automate this pass fail, because the fixes
are context-dependent.
When to run
- After an agent writes or substantially revises
README.md.
- After any change to user-facing CLI help text, error messages, or
the onboarding walkthrough.
- After generating release notes or
CHANGELOG.md entries.
What to preserve
Technical specifics, command names, exact flag names, actual counts
(tests, providers, tools). Strip tone tics, not information.
