De-Slop Prompts

Review this web UI for common AI-generated design problems and fix them. Prefer removing decoration over adding it — every element should earn its place.

SURFACES & COLOR
- Remove glassmorphism (semi-transparent backgrounds, backdrop-blur, thin borders). Use solid backgrounds.
- Remove gradients on buttons and text — especially the purple-to-blue palette AI defaults to. A solid accent color with white text is almost always better.
- Remove glow effects (box-shadow with colored spread) and decorative shadows. Only use shadows on interactive cards that need lift, keep them subtle (0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.06) range), never behind buttons on colored backgrounds.
- Don't over-plot: never stack background + border + shadow + badge on the same element. Pick one or two treatments per container.
- Color should follow roughly 70/20/10: 70% neutral background, 20% secondary/text, 10% accent that pops. If everything is tinted the same hue, the UI is homogenous goo.

LAYOUT & SPACING
- Flatten nesting — cards inside cards inside sections is AI slop. Remove unnecessary wrapper containers.
- Consolidate repetitive sections — if three or more blocks are structurally identical with different text, differentiate them or merge.
- Tighten padding — AI defaults to p-8/p-10/p-12, making layouts feel bloated. Use p-3 to p-5 (12–20px) so content feels dense and intentional.
- Reduce border-radius — don't over-round everything (xl/2xl/full on every container). Use 4–8px for most elements, only round pills or avatars fully.
- Remove border-left + border-radius on containers — this rendering artifact is a known vibe-coding tell.

ICONS & DECORATION
- Remove emojis used as visual assets. Replace with simple line-art SVG icons or remove entirely.
- Remove icons in colored rounded-square boxes — this pattern is in every AI-generated site and communicates nothing. Render icons inline without containers.

TYPOGRAPHY & HIERARCHY
- Remove editorial serif fonts (Instrument Serif etc.) used as a stylistic default. Only keep if there's genuine editorial intent.
- Visual hierarchy must be glanceable — a user should know where to look first, second, and third in a split second. If everything has the same visual weight, nothing stands out.
- Keep patterns consistent: same button style, same icon family (all outlined or all filled), consistent spacing and type sizing across sections.

CONTENT
- Replace AI placeholder text — "Revolutionize Your Workflow," "Unlock the Power of X," and feature descriptions that could apply to any product. Every piece of text should say something concrete and specific.
- Every interactive element must work — buttons lead somewhere real, forms collect something specific, CTAs describe what actually happens. Remove decorative UI that looks functional but isn't (fake search bars, non-functional toggles, links to nowhere).

ANIMATION
- Entrance animations under 400ms. Staggered reveals under 800ms total.
- No conflicting hover directions (card lifts up while image grows down).
- Every animation needs a reason to exist — remove those that are there because they were easy to generate.

Review this text for common AI-generated writing problems and fix them. Prefer cutting over adding. Every sentence should earn its place.

PUNCTUATION & SYMBOLS
- Remove em dashes entirely. Replace with a period, comma, colon, or a rephrase. Never reintroduce them.
- Remove decorative bullet lists used where prose would do. Keep bullets only when the content is genuinely operational (steps, options, line items).
- Remove bold scattered through prose for emphasis. Bold is for true labels, not for making sentences feel important.

PHRASING & VOCABULARY
- Cut inflated transitions: moreover, furthermore, additionally, it's worth noting, importantly, notably, that said, in today's fast-paced world.
- Cut hedging filler: it's important to remember, keep in mind, as we all know, needless to say.
- Remove the "not just X, but Y" and "it's not about X, it's about Y" constructions. State the actual claim.
- Remove rule-of-three padding (clear, concise, and compelling) when one accurate adjective does the work.
- Remove "delve," "leverage" as a verb, "robust," "seamless," "tapestry," "landscape," "realm," "navigate" (figurative), "underscore," "testament to," "stands as."
- Remove the word "honest" and its variants as throat-clearing (to be honest, honestly, in all honesty).
- No superlatives or self-congratulation. Drop "cutting-edge," "world-class," "game-changing," "revolutionary."

STRUCTURE & RHYTHM
- Break the uniform paragraph cadence. AI writes paragraphs of near-identical length and shape. Vary sentence and paragraph length so it reads like a person thinking, not a template filling.
- Remove summary sentences that restate what was just said. End sections on the last real point, not a recap.
- Remove the closing flourish (in conclusion, ultimately, at the end of the day) and the rhetorical-question opener.
- Cut preamble. Start at the substance, not at a sentence announcing what the next sentences will do.

TONE
- Match the register to the reader. Drop motivational warmth where the context is professional and direct.
- Remove false balance and over-qualification. If the point is firm, state it once and move on rather than softening it three times.
- No emoji as decoration or section markers.

CONTENT
- Replace vague claims with specifics. "Significantly improves outcomes" becomes the actual number, mechanism, or example. If the specific isn't known, cut the claim rather than dressing it up.
- Remove sentences that could apply to any topic. Every line should be true of this subject and no other.
- Cut redundancy: phrases that repeat an idea already stated, adjectives that duplicate the noun's meaning.
