Read .cursor/rules/no-ai-slop.mdc before drafting prose.

Quick WRONG → RIGHT

Slop	Fix
"This significantly impacted users."	"Apple replaced 11 million batteries in 2018."
"Furthermore, the policy was robust."	"The FTC voted 5-0 in July 2021 to enforce repair restrictions."
"The Hidden Cost of Repair Bans"	"Economic impact of manufacturer repair restrictions"
"It's important to note that…"	Start on the fact.
"Not just a tool — a paradigm shift"	State what actually changed, with evidence.

When to apply

• README, CONTRIBUTING, docs, MDX articles, PR/issue bodies, marketing copy
• Before publishing agent-drafted prose

When to skip

• Source code, types, configs, SQL
• One-line commit messages (unless they're essays)

With other rules

• eductools writing-tone.mdc and this rule align: specific, cited, no glaze.
• Run a self-check pass after drafting; fix banned patterns before handing text back.
