| description | Content quality audit with anti-slop detection and brand consistency scoring. Use when user wants to check content quality, audit a draft, score content, verify brand consistency, detect AI-generated patterns, or run a quality check before publishing. |
This skill audits content across three dimensions, each scored out of 100:
brand/VOICE.mdbrand/VISUAL.mdThe composite score combines all applicable dimensions. For text-only content, the composite is based on dimensions 1 and 2. For visual content, all three dimensions contribute.
/content score)Runs a fast assessment and returns:
Use this for a quick pulse check on a draft.
/content audit)Runs a comprehensive review and returns:
Use this before publishing.
Load brand references: Read brand/VOICE.md and brand/VISUAL.md if they exist. These define the scoring criteria for brand consistency. If they do not exist, score brand consistency against reasonable defaults and note that brand files should be created for more accurate scoring.
Identify the content type: Blog post, thread, LinkedIn post, newsletter, video script, slide deck, etc. Different content types have different quality expectations.
Get the content: The user should provide the draft text or a path to the file containing the content.
Run the content through these checks. Reference slop-detector.md for the full pattern list and scoring.md for the scoring rubric.
Scan the content for AI-generated patterns grouped by severity:
Critical (major deductions):
Warning (moderate deductions):
Info (minor deductions):
For each detection, report:
Evaluate the opening (first 2-3 sentences) on a 1-10 scale:
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 9-10 | Specific, surprising, creates genuine curiosity or tension. Reader must continue. |
| 7-8 | Good hook with a clear promise of value. Could be sharper but works. |
| 5-6 | Functional but generic. Gets to the topic but does not create urgency. |
| 3-4 | Weak. Generic opening, throat-clearing, or vague promise. |
| 1-2 | Cliche opener, "In this article we will explore...", or no hook at all. |
Reference brand-consistency.md for the full methodology.
Compare the content against brand/VOICE.md on these dimensions:
Check the content against the banned phrase list in brand/VOICE.md. Report every match with:
| Component | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Formality match | 30% | Alignment with target formality level |
| Vocabulary alignment | 25% | Use of preferred terms, avoidance of banned terms |
| Sentence rhythm | 20% | Match with brand's sentence pattern profile |
| Personality consistency | 15% | Brand personality reflected throughout |
| Forbidden phrases | 10% | Penalty for each banned phrase found |
For presentations, video compositions, infographics, or any content with visual elements. Reference brand-consistency.md.
