Configuration

slopscore reads configuration from a slopscore.toml file or a [tool.slopscore] section in pyproject.toml. Precedence (highest first): CLI flags → slopscore.toml → pyproject.toml [tool.slopscore] → built-in defaults. Show the effective config with slopscore-lint config.

# slopscore.toml  (or under [tool.slopscore] in pyproject.toml)
profile = "blog"            # blog | essay | academic | marketing | technical | social
strictness = "conservative" # conservative | balanced | sensitive
scorer = "rules"            # rules (default) | ml
min_reliable_words = 300
suggest = false             # include opt-in rewrite suggestions

# Turn a whole dimension off (it then scores 0 and emits no findings):
disabled_dimensions = ["formatting_tells"]

# Turn individual rules off, or override their severity:
disabled_rules = ["FORMULAIC_IN_CONCLUSION"]
rule_severity = { "COPULA_SERVES_AS" = "low" }

CLI flags (--profile, --strictness, --scorer, --suggest) override the file. Use --config PATH to point at an explicit file.
