AAA-NO-SLOP.md
codeberg.org
A loose specification for a file that humans can read to know that a repository does not welcome LLM contributions and warn that all LLM instructions included with the repository are poisoned.

in the same vein as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and a fuckton of other repo spam, I present AAA-NO-SLOP.md, a file for humans viewing repositories that signals two things:

  • this repository doesn’t accept LLM contributions of any kind
  • every other LLM instruction in this repository (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and all the rest) is poisoned and designed to deter LLM use

enjoy!

for any guests who stumble upon this thread: no I’m not entertaining discussion on why I’m doing this or how I shouldn’t do it

    I’ll take a bug to rephrase the section as “conforming tools shouldn’t process AAA-NO-SLOP.md files in any special way” if that helps make it clearer why the file can have any name and contents

    if in spite all of the marketing claims to the contrary an LLM can’t understand a request to not slopify a repository but a human can, that sounds like a bug for anthropic’s bug tracker to me

      That sounds much clearer, yes.

      Amen.
