It systematically documents a widespread but often overlooked aesthetic problem in AI-assisted development, offering both a reference and an automated fix tool, built as a principled counterexample to the slop it critiques.
Vibe-coded products are ugly in the same specific way: indigo gradients, glowing cards, emoji everywhere, a mascot in every corner, ALL-CAPS stat-cards. It's what a machine reaches for when it has no taste but wants to look impressive, and it's so common you've stopped seeing it.
Kill AI Slop is two things:
kill-ai-slop, which turns that catalogue into action:
it scans a web project for the code-level signals of each tell, explains why
each reads as machine-made, and proposes (or applies) the clean fix.Every tell is one you can find in real, shipped products, not a strawman. Each entry rebuilds the tell in plain HTML so you can see the machine-default and the clean fix side by side.

npm run build # → dist/ (static, deploy anywhere)
Design system: paper + ink, one editorial red used like a proofreader's pen,
hierarchy from scale and space, hairline rules, no gradients / emoji / glass /
badges. See website/src/styles/tokens.css for the rules it holds itself to,
and website/src/data/catalogue.ts for the taxonomy (the single source of truth
shared with the skill).
Run the following command and follow the prompt to install it to your favorite coding agents:
npx skills add yetone/kill-ai-slop
Install it without touching a single file: paste this to your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and it fetches the skill and drops it into its own skills directory for you.
