How I check my writing for AI slop — rules, process, and the research behind it

How I check my writing for AI slop

I use AI heavily and don't want the output to read that way. Over time I've built a small system for catching AI-generated patterns in any content I ship. Sharing the setup in case it's useful.

What it is

Three pieces:

  • A rules file with 23 writing rules plus a list of known failure modes (the patterns my agent slips into when it forgets the rules).
  • A voice samples file with my actual writing and speaking. This is the ground truth for what "not AI" sounds like for me specifically.
  • A skill called slop-check that takes a file path and runs it line by line against the rules.
