Anti-slop basics for AI-assisted writing

These basics match the public positioning of our Human Publisher Kit: fill-in systems and judgment, not prompt dumps.

Before you prompt

Write one ugly paragraph yourself. Name one reader. Decide the single outcome you want (reply, click, trust).

While you draft

• Ban generic openers and stacked hype adjectives.
• Prefer one concrete example over a list of abstractions.
• Keep claims you can defend; cut claims that only sound confident.

Before you publish

Read aloud. Rewrite the first and last lines by hand. If a stranger could paste the same text under another brand, it is not done.
