What it does

Scans a draft and assigns an AI-flavor grade (light / medium / heavy) using six quantified metrics: banned-word density, consecutive parallel structures, psychological-telling ratio, dialogue-tag density, average sentences per paragraph, and repeated-description density.
Cleans up through seven gates: banned-word replacement (A), formulaic sentence patterns (B), showing instead of telling emotions (C), rhythm variation (D), natural dialogue (E), removing summarizing/uplifting endings (F), and cutting explanatory or omniscient narrator intrusions (G).
Enforces guardrails: never delete whole paragraphs, cap deletions at 15% / 25% / 35% by severity, and protect foreshadowing, hooks, character traits, and causal anchors — flag [needs review] instead of cutting.
File mode runs bundled Node scripts (check-ai-patterns.js, check-degeneration.js, normalize-punctuation.js) for pre-scan, degeneration checks, and deterministic punctuation cleanup.
Supports a project-root .deslop-whitelist so proper nouns and worldbuilding terms aren't flagged.

Who it's for

Web-novel and long-form fiction authors cleaning up LLM-assisted drafts
Editors who want a repeatable checklist for spotting machine-written prose
Users already on the oh-story-claudecode writing pipeline

Examples

Paste a scene and say "this reads too AI" → you get an issue table (location, type, gate, original text, problem) plus a revised version.
Run /story-deslop chapters/03.md → the skill pre-scans with the checker script, edits the file in place, then reports edit counts and character-count delta.
Say "just flag it, don't rewrite" → annotation-only mode: diagnosis report, no file writes.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)

Download the ZIP with the button below.
In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/story-deslop folder from the GitHub repo worldwonderer/oh-story-claudecode into my ~/.claude/skills/story-deslop/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/worldwonderer/oh-story-claudecode.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r oh-story-claudecode/skills/story-deslop ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

Open a terminal and clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/worldwonderer/oh-story-claudecode.git
Create the skills folder if needed: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
Copy the whole skill directory (the scripts/ and references/ folders must come along): cp -r oh-story-claudecode/skills/story-deslop ~/.claude/skills/
Verify Node.js is installed so the checker scripts can run: node -v
Restart Claude Code, then invoke it with /story-deslop <file-path> or paste text and ask to remove the AI flavor.
(Optional) Add a .deslop-whitelist file at your project root, one exempt term per line, to prevent false positives on names and lore terms.
Note: the rules and banned-word lists are tuned for Chinese prose — expect to adapt them if you write in another language.
