slopscore¶

A transparent linter for AI-slop writing patterns in essays, blog posts, Markdown, JSON, and websites. It returns a 0 to 100 SlopScore with per-dimension breakdowns and evidence spans (the exact phrases that triggered each finding), so you can see and fix what it flags.

What slopscore is NOT

It does not detect whether text was written by AI, and must never be used to accuse a writer. It flags writing patterns in text (not authorship, not authors): patterns common in low-effort or AI-like prose and in plenty of human writing. Use it as a prose linter, not an AI detector. See Limitations & authorship.
