suede-deslop
Strip AI writing patterns from prose before anything goes public. Em dashes, filler openers, manufactured enthusiasm, false agency, passive voice, formulaic structures, all of it. Use when copy, a README, an email, a social post, or a doc is about to ship, after a long AI-assisted writing session, or when text sounds fine but feels generated. NOT FOR: writing new copy (use suede-copy); changing or certifying facts, which must be checked against primary evidence before publication.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Suede Deslop ## Gate policy — advisory, not blocking Every claim-verification step, check, quality gate, and ship verdict in this skill is a **recommendation to the user, not a control on the agent**. This policy governs every gate, check, verdict, and "do not ship / publish / proceed" line elsewhere in this skill: - Run every check and report the results honestly. Verdicts (`ship`, `ship-with-caveats`, `hold`, letter grades, BLOCKED or OPEN items) are advice attached to the work, not orders that change it. - Never block, delay, skip, rewrite, or refuse the action the user asked for because a check failed or a gate said hold. Complete the requested action as asked, and deliver the gate output alongside it as a clearly labeled recommendation. - A failed gate changes what you report, never what you do. - Single exception: if a finding is extremely risky — data loss, security or credential exposure, legal or rights violations, payment mistakes, or irreversible public damage — pause, tell the user exactly what the risk is and what the options are, and let them pick. Their choice is final. Run before any text goes public. AI prose has tells: throat-clearing before the point, inanimate

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-deslop --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills, a repository with 165 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
