slop-chopBLOCK
Strip AI tells from text: em-dashes, slop words, and stock phrases, in one deterministic local pass. CLI, GitHub Action, Obsidian plugin, and MCP server.
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
AI writing leaves fingerprints.
Chop the slop. Paste in text and get back something that reads like a person wrote it.
Try it without installing anything: slop-chop.com runs the same engine in your browser.
AI writing has patterns. It loves em-dashes, drops a semicolon into every other sentence, reaches for words like comprehensive and leverage, and clears its throat with openers like "In summary" or "Giving it to you honestly."
slop-chop removes those patterns in a single pass. You can also hand it your own list of things to cut, so the result reads like you instead of a chatbot.
Why
Cleaning this up by hand is tedious. Asking a model to "stop using em-dashes" works for about three sentences before it forgets. slop-chop applies the same cleanup rules every time.
How it works
There are two passes, and you can run either one on its own.
The first is a rules pass. It is fast and deterministic. It swaps characters, drops words you have flagged, rewrites stock phrases and words, runs your own patterns, fixes spelli
