description: "Write user-facing text to Selwyn's anti-AI-slop rules from the first draft, not as an after-the-fact fix. Use before drafting any copy, docs, comments, READMEs, or commit messages, then verify with a mechanical check before showing it. Avoids em-dashes, inflated vocabulary, manufactured contrasts, and hedging by writing plainly from the start."

Load my anti-slop rules before you write a word, then verify with a quick check. Writes plain the first time instead of fixing it after.
