A style guide that removes the clichéd writing patterns common in AI-generated drafts, including habits specific to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others, in favor of clear, concrete, readable prose. Activates on any writing task: tweets, emails, articles, bios, captions, reports, copy, messages, LinkedIn posts, cover letters, README files, or any content that should read as clear, natural writing. Also activates in detect mode when the user asks whether a draft reads like generic AI prose, or asks to audit, scan, check, or flag a draft for slop patterns without rewriting it. Enforces banned vocabulary, structural variety, punctuation discipline, accuracy rules, and voice calibration. Technical documentation (product docs, guides, references, READMEs, help text) additionally follows the Apple Style Guide. Use when the user says "deslop" about any text or writing, or says "write," "draft," "rewrite," "tighten this," "make this sound natural," "anti-slop," or any variation of wanting clean, readable output.

Indeed, it goes without saying that by leveraging a thoughtful approach, you can transform a simple collection of links into a valuable resource for learning and growth.\n\n## A streamlined approach\n\nIt's worth noting that a reading list doesn't need to be complicated. Our fictional reading-list app, Margin, offers a streamlined approach that truly delivers. Margin stores a title, URL, and category for each link. Furthermore, you can filter by category and bookmark items you want to return to. Everything stays in your browser. It's important to note that there is no account or cloud sync, which keeps things refreshingly straightforward.\n\n## Building better habits\n\nMoreover, a weekly review can help you navigate the ever-growing collection of articles. Remove links you no longer want to read. Keep the ones that connect to a project you are working on. This simple habit can make a world of difference over time.\n\nUltimately, the goal is to create a seamless reading experience that empowers you to make the most of your time. At the end of the day, a small, focused list can be more useful than an extensive collection you never open.","README.md":"# Margin\n\nMargin is a fictional TypeScript package designed to streamline the management of reading lists. It provides a robust yet intuitive API for organizing links by category, enabling developers to create seamless reading experiences.\n\n## Getting started\n\nTo begin leveraging Margin, simply import `filterLinks` and pass your links and the desired category. It's worth noting that the function returns matching links in their original order. Furthermore, passing an empty category returns all links.\n\n```ts\nimport { filterLinks } from 'margin'\n\nconst links = [\n { title: 'CSS notes', url: 'https://example.com/css', category: 'CSS' },\n { title: 'TypeScript notes', url: 'https://example.com/ts', category: 'TypeScript' },\n]\n\nconst cssLinks = filterLinks(links, 'CSS')\n```\n\n## Important considerations\n\nIt's important to note that category matching is case-sensitive. Moreover, the function does not modify the input array. It's also worth highlighting that Margin does not fetch URLs or store links. Ultimately, Margin is solely a filtering function, making it a valuable addition to your toolkit.","pr.md":"# Add category filtering to the reading list\n\nThis pull request introduces a streamlined category filtering experience to our fictional reading-list app, Margin. By leveraging the existing category field, users can now navigate their saved articles with greater ease and efficiency.\n\nPreviously, the list displayed every saved link regardless of the selected category. With this enhancement, selecting a category displays only matching links. It's worth noting that selecting All displays the complete list.\n\nFurthermore, filtering preserves the original order of links and does not change bookmarks. It's important to note that the selected category resets when the page reloads. Moreover, search and saved filter preferences are outside the scope of this change.\n\nUltimately, this improvement provides a more focused and intuitive reading experience while maintaining the simplicity of the existing interface."} Return one JSON object with exactly these keys: "reading-list.md", "README.md", "pr.md".

Keep a reading list that works

A pile of saved links only becomes a reading list once you can sort it. The links you keep should be the ones you'll actually return to, and structure is what makes that possible.

What Margin does

Margin, our fictional reading-list app, stores three things for each link: a title, URL, and category. You can filter by category and bookmark items you want to come back to. Everything stays in your browser; there's no account and no cloud sync, which keeps things simple.

A weekly review

Go through the list once a week. Remove the links you no longer want to read, and keep the ones tied to a project you're working on. A small, focused list beats a big collection you never open.

The Future Of Agent Security Is Here

Let's dive in. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, agents are everywhere — and it's worth noting that security hasn't kept up. The STS - not the agent - holds the key.

It's not about tokens. It's about trust. Four things, and two of them are good.

  • Speed. Deploys are faster.
  • Safety. Tokens are scoped.

Here's what nobody tells you: experts agree this marks a pivotal moment. The part most people sleep on is distribution. Let that sink in. Read that again.

Vocabulary self-syncs. Structural patterns don't. Which is exactly the problem. No keys. No secrets. Just tokens. The result? Faster builds. What's your take?

That's it. That's the whole setup.

Let me be direct: this is genuinely useful under the hood.
