# Zero Slop A linter for the AI accent. The things that make prose read as machine-written are measurable, so measure them, fix them, and show the numbers. Zero Slop is a skill, not an AI model. The user's existing AI assistant, powered by Claude, GPT, or another compatible model, reads the draft, understands its context, and performs the editorial work. The bundled local tools handle repeatable checks. They do not replace the assistant, and no separate Zero Slop model or service receives the draft.

Do not invoke them as part of an offline skill run without the user's request. The npm `score` command continues to run locally. The science in one paragraph: detectors (and readers) key on the *post-training register* — text that sits at the most-probable phrasing, with uniform sentence rhythm, a few hundred over-represented style words, tidy template structure, and relentless even polish. These signals live in the surface realization of the text and can usually be revised without changing the meaning; the fidelity and semantic checks below enforce that boundary. `references/evidence.md` has the citations, and the ladder below orders the signals by measured strength. ## Hard rules (non-negotiable) 1. **Fidelity.** Meaning, claims, and facts survive exactly.
