Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned dicklesworthstone/agent_flywheel_clawdbot_skills_and_integrations at 4d332440c3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

De Slopify is a skill designed to refine text and remove common writing patterns characteristic of AI-generated content, often referred to as “AI slop.” It aims to make documentation and other written materials sound more authentic and human-written by identifying and correcting stylistic quirks. This process requires careful manual review and revision, rather than automated substitutions. The tool focuses on eliminating phrases and structures that are disproportionately common in LLM output and can create an inauthentic or "cringe" tone.

When to use it

  • Refining documentation to improve readability and user perception.
  • Editing blog posts or articles where a more natural writing style is desired.
  • Cleaning up marketing copy that has been generated by AI tools.
  • Polishing reports or presentations to ensure professional and engaging language.
  • Improving the overall tone of any text intended for human consumption.

Key capabilities

  • Manual Review: The skill requires a systematic, manual review of each line of text.
  • Emdash Removal/Replacement: Identifies and replaces overuse of emdashes with alternatives like semicolons or commas, or recasts sentences entirely.
  • Trope Elimination: Removes formulaic phrases such as "It's not X, it’s Y," "Here's why," and “Let’s dive in.”
  • Sentence Restructuring: Rewrites sentences to improve flow and eliminate overly formal or enthusiastic language.

Example prompts

  • "De Slopify this document and make it sound more natural."
  • "Please review this article for AI writing artifacts and revise accordingly, paying close attention to emdash usage."
  • "Can you De Slopify this paragraph? I want it to read like a human wrote it."

Tips & gotchas

  • Manual Effort Required: This skill necessitates careful manual review; automated solutions are not effective. Expect to spend time reviewing and revising the output.
  • Context is Key: The skill emphasizes that context matters, so sometimes an emdash or other stylistic choice might be appropriate. Use judgment when applying changes.
  • Ultrathink Recommended: The prompt explicitly suggests using "ultrathink" for more thoughtful revisions.
