Stop Slop Skill
Kills the AI-writing tells in Claude's output so text doesn't read as generic AI slop.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I would be happy to help you revise that text to sound more authentic. It's important to eliminate those generic phrases that make writing feel robotic or impersonal. I could identify common AI-writing patterns and suggest replacements that feel more human. There are several techniques—using contractions, adding specificity, varying sentence structure, and cutting filler words. Would you like me to go through the paragraph and flag the problematic sections?
