One command rewrites the flagged patterns for you. pip install css-slop-detector # preview first — writes nothing css-slop --dry-run styles.css # styles.css: 7 fixes (big-radius x1, glass x1, glow-shadow x1, # hero-center x1, no-light-mode x1, pure-black x1, purple-gradient x2) # — score 100 -> 0 [dry-run, nothing written] # apply (original backed up to styles.css.bak first) css-slop --fix styles.css # changed your mind? css-slop --restore styles.css What the fixer does — only patterns the scanner flags, nothing more: big-radius → clamp border-radius ≥ 20px to 12px glass → remove backdrop-filter: blur(...) purple-gradient → swap purple/violet stops for neutral slate glow-shadow → replace neon glow with a soft neutral shadow pure-black → lift #000 surfaces to soft #1e1e1e hero-center → shrink giant centered titles to 32px, left-align no-light-mode → append a prefers-color-scheme: light hook block It de-slops; it doesn't redesign. Works on .css and .html ( blocks + inline styles), still stdlib-only, still CI-friendly (--json, --fail-over). Why not just prompt better? Tools like pbakaus/impeccable work on the generation side — they teach AI to design better, improving the prompt. css-slop-detector works on the detection+fix side: it scores the finished product's AI fingerprints, then rewrites them for you in one step. Different ends of the same pipeline.
