# Claude Deslop > Source: > Published: 2026-08-20 17:31:23+00:00 | name | deslop | |---|---| | description | Rewrite text to remove AI slop and LLM-isms. Use when asked to deslop, de-slop, clean up, or fix writing that reads as machine-generated, or before delivering prose (docs, commit messages, Confluence pages, PR descriptions, chat summaries) the user will put their name on. | Rewrite the target text so every sentence states a fact in plain language. Remove everything that frames, narrates, or decorates. Do not change what the text claims; if a rewrite would alter a fact, leave the sentence and flag it instead. **Em-dashes and en-dashes.** None anywhere: prose, table cells, headings, diagram notes. Replace with a comma, parentheses, a colon, or two sentences. **Banned vocabulary.** Replace with the plain word or delete: estate, materially, genuinely, deliberately, crucially, delve, robust, leverage, seamless, comprehensive, holistic, landscape, journey, pivotal, foundational, "worth noting", "the point", "in its own right", "an order of magnitude", "trap". Also any invented noun phrase for a plain thing ("product-tier ownership record" for a file). Say what it is the way a person would say it out loud. **Meta commentary.** Sentences about the document, the diagram, the reader, or the writing itself ("the split across this diagram is the whole point", "a reader who assumes X will be wrong", "as we'll see below"). Delete the frame and keep the fact it was wrapped around. If there is no fact underneath, delete the sentence. **Process narration.** How the text was produced, what was checked, what was verified, what was considered and rejected. In commit messages this includes verification evidence and mechanism detail the diff already shows. **Rhetorical scaffolding.** "It's not just X, it's Y". "This isn't about X". Rule-of-three lists padded to three. Questions posed and then answered. A colon headline followed by a restatement. State the claim once, directly. **Hedging and inflation.** "significantly", "essentially", "arguably", "in many ways", "plays a critical role". Either the number or fact behind the intensifier, or nothing. **Aggregates hiding facts.** "Two of the three services do X" hides which two. Per-item facts are more useful than summaries of them. - Read the whole text first. Note its required facts and any vocabulary the audience already uses; keep their terms, do not coin new ones. - Rewrite sentence by sentence. Short declarative sentences. Each sentence must survive the question "what fact does this state?" - Cut length by deleting sentences, not by compressing survivors into fragments or jargon. - Do not add anything: no summary sentence, no closing thought, no transition paragraphs the original lacked. Sweep the result mechanically; reading past slop is how it survives: - Search for `—` and`–` . Zero hits. - Search banned vocabulary with word boundaries ("restate" contains "estate"). - Re-read the first and last paragraph. These are where framing and summary slop regrow. Deliver the rewritten text only. Do not describe the edits unless asked.
