Anti-slop tool filters AI coding agent output, not a style guide

Anti-slop is a new MIT-licensed tool designed to filter out undesirable content generated by AI coding agents, rather than acting as a style guide. It operates by removing invented numbers, filler copy, and other "AI-slop" based on a user-provided DESIGN.md file. The tool is structured into six distinct skills, each addressing specific concerns like UI, copywriting, and code, and includes a mandatory "Delivery Gate" report before any output is finalized. Anti-slop can be used in "during" mode to guide development or in "after" mode to audit existing work, with a recent update improving contrast threshold handling. AI

IMPACT This tool aims to improve the quality and reliability of AI-generated code and content by filtering out undesirable elements.

    anti-slop is a filter for AI coding agents, not a style guide, and its README explains why that matters

    <p>The anti-slop README makes one distinction up front: it is a filter, not a style guide. It prescribes no colors, fonts or layouts. Its job is to remove what should not be there, such as invented numbers and filler copy, and its code skill decides which AI-slop comments to remo…
