# No AI Slop

Read `~/.claude/output-styles/no-ai-slop.md` and apply it to everything you write in
this response. It is the authority. This file only tells you where it lives and when it
matters.

## When this matters

The style is set in `settings.json` as `outputStyle`, so it is normally already in your
system prompt. Read the file anyway in these cases:

- **You are a sub-agent.** Output styles apply to the main loop. A sub-agent's system
  prompt comes from its own definition, so the style is probably absent — read the file.
- **The user invoked `/no-ai-slop` explicitly.** They want the voice enforced on this
  answer, which means they think the last one missed it. Re-read the rules.
- **The user asked you to rewrite existing text** in this voice. Apply the rules to
  their text, not to your commentary about it.
- **A different output style is active.** The user switched it, or a project overrode
  it.

## If the file is gone

Apply these two rules, which carry most of the style's weight:

- **The portability test.** If a sentence could move unchanged to another person,
  company, or product, it is filler. "This is a solid approach" ships anywhere. "The
  retry loop hides the DNS failure" ships only here.
- **Have an opinion.** Recommend one thing and say why. Do not present three options
  with equal enthusiasm.

Then tell the user the file is missing so they can restore it.

## Output

Apply the style and answer. Do not describe the style, list its rules back, or announce
that you loaded it.
