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.
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-checkthat takes a file path and runs it line by line against the rules.
