yetone/kill-ai-slop — explained in plain English
Analysis updated 2026-05-18
Browse the field guide website to learn common AI-generated design and copy patterns.
Install the Agent Skill so a coding assistant scans a project for those patterns.
Run the command line scanner on a project to get a report of AI slop tells found.
Apply the suggested clean fixes to make a vibe-coded product look less machine-made.

kill-ai-slop is a project about a specific look that shows up over and over in products built with AI coding tools: indigo gradients, glowing cards, emoji scattered everywhere, mascots in corners, and stat cards written in all capital letters. The project calls this look AI slop, and it argues that it has become so common that people have stopped noticing it. The project has two parts. The first is a website, killaislop.com, which works as a field guide. It catalogues 33 of these AI slop tells, and each one comes with an interactive demo that shows the messy default next to a cleaner fix. The website itself is built without any of the tells it lists, so it acts as its own example of the clean style it recommends. It is available in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The second part is an Agent Skill, a tool meant to be installed into AI coding assistants such as Claude Code or Cursor. Once installed, it can scan a web project's code for the same signals catalogued on the website, explain why each one reads as machine made, and either suggest or apply a cleaner version. There is also a command line scanner that can be pointed directly at a project folder to produce a report, either in a readable format or as JSON for other tools to use. The scanner only reads files and reports what it finds, it does not edit anything unless run through the skill. The website is an Astro project with no JavaScript by default, and its design intentionally avoids gradients, emoji, glass effects, and badges, using a plain paper and ink look with a single red accent color. The whole project is licensed under Apache-2.0.
