pagekit-slop-check

name	pagekit-slop-check
description	Run the heuristic AI-slop regression check on PageKit drafts. Wraps scripts/slop-check.sh. Use before and after the claim-check step, and any time you want to sanity-check a draft for the mechanically detectable slop patterns.

PageKit — Slop Check

Wraps scripts/slop-check.sh. Heuristic regression check covering the mechanically detectable subset of ../pagekit/references/anti-slop.md: Not-X-Not-Y headings and sentences, em-dash stacking, "actually" intensifier, copula avoidance, signposting, filler, significance inflation, anaphora, rule-of-three short-sentence clustering, intensifier vocabulary, quoted antithesis.

Read first

• ../pagekit/references/anti-slop.md — the authoritative pattern catalog

Procedure

1. Run: bash scripts/slop-check.sh [paths...]. With no args, scans every homepage-draft.md / first-page-draft.md / first-page-draft-corrected.md under runs/.
2. If any pattern fires, report the file:line and the pattern name.
3. For each hit, propose a rewrite or recommend cutting the line.
4. Re-run until clean.

When to invoke

• Right after pagekit-first-page-draft produces a draft, before invoking pagekit-claim-check.
• After the corrected draft is produced by claim-check.
• Anytime a user asks "does this read like AI?"

Hard rule

Do not advance to the claim-check step until slop-check is clean on the draft. The claim-check should focus on semantic issues; the slop-check should have already cleared the obvious cadence problems.

Limits

The script is heuristic. It will flag false positives (some rule-of-three clusters carry real content; some uses of "actually" are correct). Use judgement; do not blindly rewrite. The script's job is to surface lines worth looking at.
