Action Summary

slopscore is a transparent linter that measures the density of formulaic, generic, low-specificity, and over-polished writing patterns in text. It reports per-dimension scores and evidence spans to help identify specific writing issues, encouraging clearer, more specific prose. The tool is designed as a prose linter rather than an AI detector for authorship, focusing on detecting common writing patterns that are characteristic of AI-generated or low-effort content.

What’s Changed

Adds a structural-metaphor tell to insight_signaling — a class a human reader caught that both linters (and a curated grep) missed.

What’s new

insight_signaling now flags anatomical/structural metaphors for an organizing principle:

  • Noun-of-noun (“the spine of the argument”, “the backbone of the piece”) — INSIGHT_STRUCTURAL_METAPHOR.
  • Copular (“The spine is the same evidence…”) — INSIGHT_STRUCTURAL_COPULA.

Both are context-gated: the noun-of-noun form requires a prose/argument noun, and the copular form gates its complement to abstract nouns — so literal senses (lumbar spine, backbone network, construction/React scaffolding, book spine, “a column of vertebrae”, “a fiber-optic link”) do not fire. Bare “through-line” (legitimate in film/writing) is --broad-only.

Ships with literal-negative unit tests (the real guard for this rule class). The JSON report shape is unchanged; SCHEMA_VERSION stays 0.8.0.
