## What it does

anti-ai-slop-writing activates for writing and rewriting requests. It steers the agent toward direct wording, concrete details, connected sentences, and a voice suited to the format. The guidance covers emails, posts, reports, messages, descriptions, and README files.

Before drafting, the skill loads a blocked-language list from `references/banned-words.md`. It also asks for varied sentence lengths and paragraph shapes, active phrasing, and factual restraint. Its checks cover punctuation too, including limits for em dashes, exclamation marks, and ellipses.

The rules are deliberately strict, so familiar corporate phrasing may need to go. That is the trade-off for text that does not fall into repeated generated-text habits. The skill also asks for a clear position when the evidence supports one.
