The AI Slop Detection Step
The skill includes an explicit banned-phrases list for what to strip from local model output:
Banned phrases:
- "delve", "dive deep", "deep dive"
- "game-changer", "game changing"
- "landscape" (when not literal)
- "unlock" (when not literal)
- "leverage" (use sparingly)
- "cutting-edge", "state-of-the-art"
- "seamless", "seamlessly"
- "robust" (overused)
- "holistic"
Structural slop:
- Excessive bullet points where prose works better
- Numbered lists for non-sequential items
- Overuse of headers in short content
- Generic introductions ("In today's world...")Small models are prone to all of these. Claude knows to catch them in the review pass.
