Unslop

The rescue tool for sites you already built. Audit → interview → re-theme an existing React + Tailwind site into a custom identity — verified at every step, without breaking your build.

Most design skills generate new UI or lint one dimension of it. Unslop does neither: it takes a site you've already shipped and runs it through a single stateful pipeline — measure what's wrong, decide what "good" means for your brand, then apply it with a hard build-and-screenshot check after every change. The output of each stage feeds the next, and nothing claims "done" without evidence. It's a Claude Code plugin (Codex-compatible) with three stages:

1. /unslop:audit — scores your site against an evidence-based anti-slop checklist: screenshots at 4 breakpoints, WCAG contrast checks, and a static scan for the classic tells (default indigo buttons, purple-to-blue gradients, transition-all, font-weight sprawl…). Output: DESIGN-AUDIT.md with a score and file:line evidence. Read-only — it never touches your code.
2. /unslop:interview — asks about your brand, audience, and taste one question at a time, then synthesizes a custom design lane: identity, palette, type pairing, texture, motion budget, and one signature moment. Rules-driven creativity — no preset menu, no two sites alike. You approve the lane before anything changes.
3. /unslop:retheme — applies the approved lane systematically: tokens → typography → section by section → states & motion. After every pass the build must succeed and fresh screenshots are taken. Ends with a re-audit, a before/after report, and a client-ready CLIENT-REPORT.html you can hand to a non-technical site owner.

See it work

A stock vibe-coded landing page (default indigo, purple→blue gradient, emoji icons, gray-on-white text failing contrast) scored 27/100. After one audit → interview → retheme pass into a synthesized "Print Run" lane — 100/100, WCAG AA in both light and dark, no horizontal scroll at any width.

Before — 27/100	After (light) — 100/100	After (dark)

Install

Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add aahil62/unslop
/plugin install unslop@unslop

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add aahil62/unslop

Other AGENTS.md-aware tools: clone this repo and point your agent at AGENTS.md — same workflow, same rules.

The audit and retheme stages use Playwright for screenshots and contrast checks. In the project being rescued:

npm i -D playwright && npx playwright install chromium

(If the chromium download is blocked, the scripts fall back to your installed Chrome.)

Use

From your site's repo:

/unslop:audit        # how bad is it, with evidence
/unslop:interview    # define what *good* looks like for this brand
/unslop:retheme      # make it so, verified pass by pass

What's inside

skills/            audit · interview · retheme (the three workflows)
rules/             anti-slop-checklist.md (scoring rubric) · lane-synthesis.md (creativity rules) · client-report.md (deliverable format)
examples/lanes/    4 worked design lanes — calibration for the synthesizer, not a menu
scripts/           screenshot.mjs · contrast-check.mjs · slop-scan.mjs (deterministic checks)
AGENTS.md          Codex adapter

Scope (v1, deliberately narrow)

• React + Tailwind only — what v0, Lovable, Bolt, Claude, and Cursor actually produce. Other stacks are politely declined.
• Rescues existing sites; it doesn't scaffold new ones.
• No MCP server, no framework, no methodology — three skills and a rubric.

Freelancers: a before/after retheme with an audit score delta is a sellable deliverable — and the retheme stage ends by generating it: a client-ready CLIENT-REPORT.html with the score delta, before/after screenshots, and what changed in plain language. Quote the outcome, not hours.
