# Deslop
Copy-edit text to remove LLM writing patterns so it reads as human-written.
## The core idea
Slop is text engineered to *sound* authoritative while saying little: inflated
vocabulary, formulaic significance-frames, reflexive hedging, and mechanical
structure. The job is **not** find-and-replace from a synonym table — that just
makes *differently* robotic text. The job is to **delete the inflation and
force a concrete specific**, while preserving the author's meaning and voice.
Three rules that override everything else:
1. **Density, not isolated words.** One "crucial" on a page is fine. Act on
clusters and reflexive use.
2. **Don't over-edit.** Legitimate uses stay; voice and meaning are preserved;
no facts change. When in doubt, lighter edit + flag it.
3. **Prose only.** Never edit inside fenced blocks, inline code, commands,
paths, URLs, link targets, or YAML frontmatter. A literal `underscore` in a
naming rule and `--not --remotes` in a git invocation are not tells.
## Flags
- `--report` — detect and list tells with locations; do **not** rewrite. Use
when the author wants to edit themselves.
- `--all` — include the low-signal word hits the detector hides on reference
docs.
- Default — rewrite the text, removing tells, then summarize what changed.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Get the text and mode
- **File path in the prompt** (`.md`, `.txt`, etc.
