AI-looking work

Web AI Slop is an agent skill that gives your AI coding assistant 50+ trained checks across design, copy, UX, and code — flagging statistical defaults before they ship. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf.

Slop Scanner

Web AI Slop detects generic AI-generated output by checking for 2 or more matching patterns within a single discipline. Hitting that threshold in any category flags the output as statistical default, not a deliberate design decision.

Check which telltale patterns you’ve spotted on a site. Any category with 2+ items checked is flagged as slop.

AI Slop Tells Catalog

The Web AI Slop Tells Catalog documents 20 named patterns across five disciplines — Visual, Copy, UX, Code, and Documentation — that a trained practitioner can identify in under 10 seconds. Each pattern includes the specific reason it signals AI default output.

These patterns appear when AI coding assistants produce statistically average output instead of contextually justified decisions. Filter by discipline.

Slop vs. Intentional Design

The skill doesn’t just flag problems — it helps rebuild with specific, contextual decisions.

AI Slop (Default Output)
  • Purple aurora gradient blob behind hero
  • Bento grid of rounded-square icon cards
  • "Unlock your [noun]" headline with rule-of-3 adjectives
  • Circular-avatar testimonials, no specific outcomes
  • 3-tier pricing with "Most Popular" highlighted
  • transition: all 0.3s ease on everything
  • Inter 400/600/700, default letter-spacing
Intentional Design
  • No decorative gradient — content leads
  • List layout or single focused CTA
  • Specific headline: "Saves 14h/week on invoice reconciliation"
  • Customer quotes with measurable before/after
  • Single plan or usage-based, no fake tiers
  • transition: opacity 0.2s on hover states only
  • Chosen typeface with tightened tracking on headings

The Master Swap Test

Replace your product name with a competitor's. If the copy still makes complete sense, it's generic AI slop. Real copywriting communicates specific, unique outcomes.
