unslop

name: unslop description: Detect repetitive AI defaults for a domain and generate a reusable avoidance profile. Use when asked to "unslop", "de-slop", "remove AI patterns", "make less generic", generate an anti-slop profile, or analyze AI output patterns for any domain (writing, landing pages, emails, code, etc.).

Empirically detect the repetitive defaults a model falls back on, then produce a reusable instruction file that makes future outputs less generic.

Quickstart

# Text domains (writing, emails, tutorials, code)
python3 SKILL_DIR/unslop.py --domain "blog writing"

# Visual domains (websites, landing pages, HTML)
pip install playwright && playwright install chromium
python3 SKILL_DIR/unslop.py --domain "startup SaaS landing pages" --type visual --count 20 --concurrency 3

The script uses pi -p (non-interactive mode) to generate samples and run analysis. It works with whatever model/provider pi is configured for.

Options

Flag	Default	Description
`--domain`	required	What to analyze
`--type`	`text`	`text` for writing/code/prose, `visual` for websites/HTML
`--count`	`50`	Number of samples to generate
`--concurrency`	`5`	Parallel pi calls
`--model`	pi default	Model to use (passed through to `pi --model`)
`--thinking`	pi default	Thinking level: off, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh
`--timeout`	`600`	Seconds per pi call
`--analysis-timeout`	`1800`	Seconds for the analysis pass
`--retries`	`1`	Retries per failed call
`--output`	`./unslop-output`	Where to put results
`--skip-comparison`	`false`	Skip the before/after step

Output

Results land in ./unslop-output/:

unslop-output/
  skill.md          ← the reusable avoidance profile (main deliverable)
  analysis.md       ← detailed pattern analysis with counts
  prompts.json      ← generated prompt set
  samples/          ← raw AI outputs
  screenshots/      ← rendered pages (visual only)
  before-after/     ← vanilla vs. profile-guided comparison

Prebuilt Profiles

Ready-to-use profiles are in SKILL_DIR/profiles/:

profiles/react-design.md — anti-patterns for React/SaaS landing pages
profiles/writing.md — anti-patterns for blog writing, essays, articles

These can be used immediately as pi skills or system prompt additions without running the full analysis.

Workflow

Generate prompts — creates diverse, realistic prompts for the domain
Run samples — generates outputs in parallel via pi -p
Render screenshots — captures page renders (visual only, needs Playwright)
Analyze patterns — pi reads all samples and identifies repeated patterns
Generate skill file — produces skill.md with specific avoidance instructions
Before/after comparison — runs the same prompt with and without the profile

Using the Output

The generated skill.md can be used as:

A pi skill (copy into your skills directory)
Prepended to any system prompt
Added to project context files (AGENTS.md, etc.)

Review Checklist

After running, verify:

analysis.md is concrete, counted, and specific (not vague)
skill.md mostly says what to avoid, not prescribing one new stock style
For visual runs, before-after/after.html feels meaningfully less generic than before.html
If the analysis is thin, rerun with more samples or a higher thinking level
