Merriam-Webster made slop its 2025 Word of the Year and defines it as digital content of low quality, produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence. In prose, it often appears as stock phrasing, flat rhythm, template structure, and decorative formatting. Researchers found a rise in words associated with LLM use across 15 million scientific abstracts, estimating that at least 13.5% of 2024 abstracts received LLM help.
Stanford’s Social Media Lab and BetterUp Labs coined the term in September 2025 for AI-generated work that looks complete but does not give the recipient enough to act.
An analysis of 89,239 Reddit posts found recurring complaints about em dashes, flat rhythm, and formulaic contrasts. The study is exploratory, and none of those features proves AI use. They are prompts to read more closely, especially when several appear together.

Up to 20,000 Unicode code points per draft.We tested our AI Slop test corpus of deliberately flawed drafts on August 26, 2026. Zero Slop’s edits averaged 12.8 on its own writing score; avoid-ai-writing averaged 23.3. All 4 editors used the same model, with the unedited drafts included for comparison. This historical test does not establish which editor people prefer or how today’s releases compare.
Read the benchmark notesWe ran Zero Slop over almost 30,000 public samples. The sets answer different questions, so we publish them as checks, not a single accuracy claim.
Every workflow used the same drafts.
This table compares the features documented in each skill’s saved version, not overall writing quality. We audited Zero Slop against six other skills: de-slop, avoid-ai-writing, no-ai-slop, humanizer, unslop-text, and stop-slop. Supported means an implementation is documented. Partially supported means the instructions guide the assistant through the check. Compare four open-source AI humanizers and their measured results.
Scroll the table horizontally to compare all seven skills. This historical editing audit excludes reader-review capabilities that were not assessed for these revisions. First Reader's separate review appears below.

We checked each complete repository at the saved version linked below. Supported means the repository includes code, saved files, or a named workflow for the check. Partially supported means a prompt asks the model to perform the check. Not documented means we did not find the feature in that version; it is not proof that the tool can never perform it. Not assessed means we have not checked that feature in that version.
Different jobs, not a single ranking. Choose the review you need before choosing the tool.
First Reader is not included in the rewrite replay of our AI Slop test corpus: editing is outside its documented scope. Simulated reactions are hypotheses, not measured human behavior. Source-detail checks are not proof that meaning survived.
Source review: September 10, 2026 (Pacific). First Reader at f56f4feb. Its helpers run locally; model cost and privacy depend on the assistant you use.
A feature list cannot tell you which edit you will prefer. Checking names and numbers does not establish factual truth or unchanged meaning. Zero Slop’s local profiles can stop selected words from your sample being flagged; they do not capture your full voice. The installed skill can compare multiple rewrites; the hosted editor uses at most one model response.
One phrase does not make a draft bad, and formal does not mean fake. Context decides what should change.
The goal is clearer language without changed claims. Review the final edit in context.
Zero Slop compares names, numbers, quotes and links with your original. Keeping those details does not prove a claim is true or its meaning unchanged. Your AI assistant also reviews the context; you decide what to keep.
Give your assistant a writing sample and explain your preferences. You can also create a local profile so selected words from your sample are not flagged. That profile does not capture your full writing style.
The installed skill guides eight editorial jobs; the free web editor combines the AI work into one model response. The final checks run once more on the exact text you receive.
Optional checks can also look for predictable wording and repetition across 3+ related drafts. Neither changes the score.
Share the version you kept
When you share its draft and your final version, Zero Slop can compare what changed.
Repeats become rules
A change must recur in separate drafts and be checked against human-written samples before it guides future edits.
A memory that stays yours
Approved guidance stays in local files you can inspect or remove. Guidance that is not confirmed again eventually expires.
↻ improves only from edits you choose to share
The installed skill can learn from edits you share. Hosted editing does not use this private learning loop.
The scoring tool looks at wording, sentence variety, readability, and formatting, and explains what it found. A lower score means fewer flagged writing problems. It does not tell you who wrote the text.

Add the skill to an agent that reads SKILL.md files. It uses that assistant’s model and tools; it does not install a separate AI model.

What the tool does, where it runs, and what it costs.
AI slop is writing that sounds finished before the thinking is finished. Common signs include stock phrases, vague claims, repetitive structure, flat rhythm, and formatting that works harder than the ideas. Zero Slop shows you where those problems appear.
No. AI detectors try to identify the author. Zero Slop reviews the writing. It flags passages that deserve attention, edits the draft, and checks names, numbers, quotes, and links against the original.
No. It combines eight editorial jobs: scan, interpret, rewrite, protect source details, copy edit, read aloud, verify, and review with fresh eyes. The free web editor uses one successful model response; the score and source-detail checks run in your browser.
It is designed to catch those changes. Before editing, it records names, numbers, quotes, and links. After editing, it checks them again and warns you about anything added or lost. You still make the final call.
No. The scorer is a local Python script that uses only the standard library. It works offline and needs no account, server, or network connection. The skill itself runs inside the coding or writing agent you already use.
Zero Slop works with agents that support SKILL.md files, including Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Warp, and Zed. The repository also documents setup for ChatGPT and Claude.ai.
The skill and local scorer are free under the MIT license. Your assistant may charge for model use and applies its own data policies. Hosted editing is free within shared usage limits; local scoring works offline without an account.
Hosted editing allows at most five model calls per client network per UTC day and two per minute, subject to a global budget. The web editor, MCP, REST API and CLI editing share this allowance. Offline scoring does not consume it. There is no reserved capacity or uptime guarantee.
In the installed skill, a phrase must recur across 3 separate edits; a single word across 5. New guidance must pass the human-writing safety set before it can affect later edits. You can inspect or remove it. Your AI model is not retrained.
The website records aggregate page traffic, performance, chapter views, scroll depth, example choices, and selected controls. The remote MCP separately records aggregate reliability, client family, coarse region, size, score, and latency data. No cookies, persistent identifiers, fingerprinting, or draft text are collected. Neither custom telemetry dataset stores rewrite text, IP addresses, raw user-agent strings, or stable user IDs. Cloudflare still processes standard connection data to deliver and protect the service. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track disable website interaction events.
Zero Slop is free, open source, and installed in one command.
