unslopovich

Dramatization. Your app may be worse.

npx unslopovich

Then tell your agent:

/unslopovich review my app

Works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot (install options). Mobile apps, web apps, and websites. Same doctor, different reflexes: on a phone it checks you didn't build a website, and on the web it checks you didn't break one.

The doctor did the reading

Dr. Unslopovich read 1,201,466 reviews of 1,162 apps on the App Store and Google Play. Not one mentioned a purple gradient. "Gradient" came up 58 times, mostly from people asking for one.

Here's what the 529,434 reviews rated 3 stars or lower complained about instead:

About a quarter of complaints (24% on the App Store, 25% on Google Play) are things a design and front-end pass can fix. Crashes, lag, and bugs together are 35% and 43%.

A random sample of 1,200 low-rated reviews, each read and labelled against written definitions; a review can name several problems. Rounded; 95% intervals are about ±3 to 4 points for the big themes. The whole method, code, and limits.

So the doctor checks what users actually scream about first, and your gradient second.

The biggest bucket is the one no design review can see: you can't read a bug or lag off a screenshot. The doctor flags what code gives away, like lists that render every row up front, and every report says Not profiled until someone actually profiles it. A clean review is not a clean bill of health.

Symptoms

• Controls that moved, vanished, or do nothing
• AI features blocking the thing people came to do
• Numbers and labels that lie
• Website in a phone: hamburger menus, hero sections, fake tab bars
• Cards inside cards inside cards
• The tasteful default: white cards, thin gray borders, one blue accent, a colored dot beside every label
• Emoji pretending to be icons
• Stat tiles with numbers nobody measured
• The keyboard sitting on top of the input
• "Oops! Something went wrong"
• "Unlock your potential"

Appointments

/unslopovich review the home screen     diagnosis and a score out of 24, no edits
/unslopovich treat checkout             diagnose, fix, verify, before and after
/unslopovich scan src/                  quick code-only pass with the detector
/unslopovich chart                      write down your top tasks and brand rules once
/unslopovich follow-up home             re-check and compare with the last visit

The chart lives in .unslopovich/chart.md. It's where you tell the doctor that the gradient is the brand, so it stops bringing it up.

The detector

Thirty-one rules that read SwiftUI, UIKit, Compose, Android XML, React Native, Flutter, Ionic, React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, HTML, CSS, and Tailwind classes. No model, no network, no dependencies. The skill runs it for you, and it works on its own too:

npx unslopovich detect src/
npx unslopovich detect --json ios/ android/   # for agents and CI
npx unslopovich detect --list-rules           # every rule and its fix

It catches purple gradients and the project template's leftover purple, nested cards, decorative status dots, gradient text, glow shadows, emoji icons, unvirtualized lists, text that ignores the user's font size, disabled back gestures, hamburger menus, hover in a touch app, keyboards covering inputs, invented stats, and "Oops! Something went wrong".

On the web it adds clickable divs, removed focus rings, disabled zoom, images without alt text, tracked-caps eyebrows, icons in tinted squares, transition-all, cards that grow on hover, things that pulse forever, and "Trusted by 10,000+ teams".

It reads the nearest package.json to tell a phone app from a website, so hover is a problem in your Expo app and fine on your Next.js site. --platform web or --platform mobile settles it when it guesses wrong.

Exit code 2 means findings, so it can gate a pull request. Silence one line with // unslopovich-ignore <rule-id> (<!-- unslopovich-ignore <rule-id> --> in XML), or a whole rule in .unslopovich/config.json:

{ "ignoreRules": ["status-dot"], "ignorePaths": ["src/legacy/"] }

It reads code, not screens. Most of what users complain about, a moved button, a popup in the way, a slow list, only shows up in the running app, which is why the skill looks at that first.

Bedside manner

Three gradients, two hamburgers, no back button. I have questions.

This card contains a card. That card contains a sparkle. Remove all three.

"Seamless" is not a feature.

Sample verdicts. Yours may be worse.

Treats

Mobile: SwiftUI, UIKit, Jetpack Compose, React Native, Expo, Flutter, Ionic, Capacitor, Angular Native, and NativeScript.

Web: React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte, Astro, Angular, and plain HTML and CSS, Tailwind and shadcn/ui included.

It reads your theme, finds the problems, fixes the shared components first, and uses your platform's native building blocks. It won't move your users' favorite button without asking.

It also won't trade your purple gradient for the other default, the calm white one every model reaches for. A treated screen has to pass one test: cover the logo, and it should still look like your app.

Before a big change it tells you how sick the patient is (heavy, light, or healthy) and writes a five-line direction for you to approve. Healthy screens get told they're healthy and left alone.

Only want the bad news? Ask for a review and it stops at the diagnosis.

Prior art

The doctor trained under good people. Impeccable by Paul Bakaus showed that a deterministic detector and design vocabulary beat a longer prompt. Hallmark by Together AI showed the value of a floor that never bends, defaults you can only waive on the record, and a fresh-eyed reviewer at the end. Unslop by Damir Sokolovsky (@heydamir) showed that deciding how much to change comes before changing anything, and that richness belongs in the content, not the chrome. Unslopovich is for the screens they leave to others: native mobile apps, and the parts of a web app people use every day.

Install

npx unslopovich

The installer finds the coding agents on your machine and installs for each one. Needs Node 18 or later.

Or just ask in your own words ("review my app for AI slop") and the agent picks the skill up.

• Some agents only: npx unslopovich --agent codex,cursor (any of claude, codex, cursor, opencode, gemini, copilot)
• One project, for the whole team: run npx unslopovich --project in the project and commit the folder it creates
• **An
