deslop

A CLI tool to rewrite documents so they sound less like AI slop.

Installation

pip install deslop

Or with uv:

uv pip install deslop

Usage

Set your Anthropic API key:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key

Then run deslop on a file:

# Read from file, write to stdout
deslop path/to/document.md

# Read from stdin
cat draft.md | deslop -

# Write to a file
deslop draft.md -o cleaned.md

How it works

Deslop uses Claude to:

1. Identify slop patterns - Generic phrasing, repetitive structure, vague claims, unnatural transitions, empty intensifiers, etc.
2. Rewrite the document - Fix all identified patterns while preserving meaning and structure

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Anthropic API key (uses Claude Opus 4.5)
