| name | no-slop |
| description | Strict anti-slop UI design system for scanning, fixing, redesigning, judging, and preventing generic AI-generated frontend work. Use when Codex works on UI/UX, React/Vue/Svelte/HTML/CSS/Tailwind, landing pages, dashboards, apps, design systems, visual polish, copy, accessibility, motion, or frontend generation that must be judged with severe anti-slop standards. Supports commands such as no-slop --scan, --fix, --redesign, --judge, --prevent, and --economy. |
No Slop
No Slop is a cold, precise anti-slop workflow. Its job is to detect generic AI UI, remove it, and block weak output before it ships.
After anti-slop remediation, hand app-like surfaces to reality-skill so the result is not only less generic, but also usable beyond a static mockup.
Command Interface
Use the command grammar in references/command-interface.md.
Primary commands:
no-slop --scan [target]
no-slop --fix [target]
no-slop --redesign [target]
no-slop --judge [target]
no-slop --prevent [target-or-brief]
no-slop --autopsy [target-or-brief]
no-slop -e --scan [target]
Short flags:
-s, --scan: scan and score.-f, --fix: surgical remediation.-r, --redesign: full redesign.-j, --judge: run the strict judge panel.--prevent: prevention mode before UI generation.--autopsy: emit the forensic AI UI Autopsy report.-e, --economy: disable judge subagents and use local deterministic checks only.
Default mode is --scan. Judge mode is active by default unless --economy is set.
First Action
Load steps/step-00-command-router.md.
Step 00 parses command flags, resolves dials and presets, loads the right references, and routes to scan, fix, redesign, judge, or prevent.
Core References
Load only what the task needs:
references/command-interface.md: CLI grammar, flag precedence, output contracts.references/dials-and-presets.md: the eight 0-10 control dials and fast presets.references/ai-slop-patterns.md: detection taxonomy, severity scoring, slop signatures.references/judge-system.md: mandatory multi-agent judge protocol and fail gates.references/prevention-protocol.md: pre-generation detector and judge workflow.references/remediation-playbook.md: fix/redesign tactics and before/after examples.references/design-quality-rubric.md: scoring rubric and quality gates.references/ecosystem-contract.md: ownership, composition, and handoff rules.
Non-Negotiables
- Run 4-6 independent judge subagents by default for every non-economy command.
- If subagent tools are unavailable in non-economy mode, mark
JUDGE_PANEL_UNAVAILABLE; never claim a full pass.
- Do not soften judge feedback with praise padding.
- Do not replace one generic aesthetic with another.
- Do not ship purple-blue gradients, glass cards, card soup, vague copy, fake proof, motion spam, token chaos, or brandless layouts unless the product context specifically justifies them.
- Do not generate UI in
--prevent until the detector and judge panel have approved a design contract.
- Do not finish
--fix or --redesign with failed judge gates. Iterate. If the gate still fails, block the result and state why.
- At the end of
--fix or --redesign, load the sibling skill skills/reality-skill/SKILL.md when the target includes an app, dashboard, form, CRUD flow, onboarding, checkout, settings, auth-like flow, fake proof, fake data, or primary actions. Use it to remove demoware without broad redesign.
- Preserve behavior, accessibility, semantic structure, focus states, keyboard access, and responsive stability.
- Use existing design tokens and component conventions when they are coherent. Replace them only when they are the problem.
- For operational tools, prefer dense, scan-friendly, restrained interfaces. For expressive products, create a deliberate art direction, not decoration.

Local CLI Helper
For a deterministic local scan, run:
python no-slop/scripts/no_slop_cli.py --scan <target>
python no-slop/scripts/no_slop_cli.py --autopsy <target>
python no-slop/scripts/no_slop_cli.py --prevent "brief text" --autopsy
python no-slop/scripts/no_slop_cli.py --preset dashboard --dial STRICTNESS=10 --scan <target>
The CLI supports context-calibrated scoring, dials, presets, signatures, economy mode, autopsy reporting, and a deterministic judge-gate summary. It treats regex matches as candidate evidence, then adjusts by confidence, counter-evidence, and nearby UI context. The Codex skill workflow remains the authority for actual code edits and live subagent judging.
