What's novel

Slop Scoring to Stop Slop

Code Analysis

13 files read · 7 rounds

A rule-based prose linter that detects formulaic AI writing patterns using n-gram analysis, exponential decay scoring, and concentration amplification to identify 'slop' in text.

Strengths

Excellent CLI ergonomics with multiple input modes (files, stdin, inline text), well-designed scoring algorithm with contrastive calibration, clean frozen dataclass models, and comprehensive documentation. The architecture cleanly separates analysis logic from CLI/MCP interfaces.

Weaknesses

No test coverage visible in the repository, missing rule implementation files despite directory structure suggesting they should exist, and no benchmark results despite being mentioned in README.
