Reduce defensive disclaimers, stacked hedging, and self-protective narration in proposals and decision-facing writing. Use when the user asks to rewrite or audit a proposal, plan, research contribution, executive summary, or similar text for directness. Do not use for ordinary code work or unrelated prose.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by lennney on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Stss AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/lennney/stop-that-shit.git /tmp/stop-that-shit
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/stop-that-shit/skills/stss .claude/skills/stss
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Stss in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Stss on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Stss is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Stop That Shit Slop

别再废话。

Make the point without writing for an imaginary critic. Preserve any limitation that changes the reader's decision.

Stay in scope

Reduce defensive wording in decision-facing text. Do not classify text as AI-written, promise to remove an "AI voice," humanize unrelated prose, or perform a general style cleanup.

Judge sentences by their decision use, not by who or what may have written them.

Select the mode

  • rewrite: Return a tighter version. This is the default when the user provides text without a mode.
  • audit: Identify defensive writing and propose the smallest useful fix. Do not rewrite the full text.

Follow an explicit mode. Infer the mode from the request only when none is given.

Record the claims

Before editing, build a private Claim Ledger from the supplied material:

  • facts and numbers;
  • named actors and sources;
  • evidence strength;
  • stated uncertainty and scope;
  • the action requested from the reader.

Do not print the ledger unless the user asks for it. Do not add facts, sources, numbers, certainty, or causality.

Test each defensive sentence

Apply the Sentence Consumer Test:

  1. Who will use this sentence?
  2. What decision does it change?
  3. What becomes false or misleading if it is removed?

Choose one action:

  • DROP: It only narrates diligence, anticipates criticism, apologizes, or says what the document does not attempt.
  • CALIBRATE: It contains real uncertainty but uses stacked hedges. Keep one precise limitation.
  • RELOCATE: It matters, but interrupts the main claim. Move it next to the affected claim or decision.
  • KEEP: It changes a legal, safety, financial, methodological, contractual, or scope decision.

Do not decide from a keyword alone. The same phrase can be waste in one context and necessary in another.

Rewrite

  1. Lead with the requested claim, decision, or proposal.
  2. State scope positively: say what the work covers.
  3. Replace stacked hedges with one evidence-matched qualifier.
  4. Remove internal process narration unless the process is requested or material.
  5. Put a necessary limitation beside the claim it limits.
  6. Compare the result with the Claim Ledger.

Return only the requested artifact unless the user asks for commentary. If the text is already direct and faithful, return it unchanged.

Audit

Report only actionable findings. For each finding, give:

  • the span or sentence;
  • DROP, CALIBRATE, RELOCATE, or KEEP;
  • the decision reason;
  • the smallest replacement when one is needed.

Use NO_DECISION_CONSUMER when a sentence has no reader decision to serve. If there are no actionable findings, say so and stop.

Check the claim diff

Before returning the result, verify:

  • no supplied fact, number, source, or actor disappeared without reason;
  • no new fact, number, source, or actor appeared;
  • uncertainty did not become certainty;
  • correlation did not become causation;
  • a requested or decision-relevant limitation remains visible.

Run one claim-preserving pass. Do not add a score, a probability that text is AI-written, a change diary, or repeated self-review.

Read references/examples.md when the boundary is ambiguous or the user asks for examples.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Stss AI skill do?

Reduce defensive disclaimers, stacked hedging, and self-protective narration in proposals and decision-facing writing. Use when the user asks to rewrite or audit a proposal, plan, research contribution, executive summary, or similar text for directness. Do not use for ordinary code work or unrelated prose.

Why use Stss on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Stss is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Stss in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/lennney/stop-that-shit/tree/main/skills/stss. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Stss?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Stss?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Stss with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Stss AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by lennney under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
