slop-chop for VS Code

Flag and chop AI writing tells in Markdown, plain text, and commit messages. The extension runs your local slop-chop binary, so it uses the same profile, presets, and voice as the command line, and your text never leaves the machine.

What it does

• Tells show up as diagnostics while you type, with the swap each one would make.
• slop-chop: Chop the slop (command palette) rewrites the document in place.
• The document formatter chops too, so format-on-save keeps a file clean.

Install

It needs the binary first: brew install dcadolph/tap/slop-chop, or go install github.com/dcadolph/slop-chop@latest.

Then install the extension. Search slop-chop in the Extensions view and pick the one from dcadolph, or run code --install-extension dcadolph.slop-chop. Cursor and VSCodium find it on Open VSX.

The extension is plain JavaScript with no dependencies, so building from source is short. Package a vsix with npx @vscode/vsce package from this folder and install it via "Extensions: Install from VSIX".

Settings

• slop-chop.path: path to the binary when it is not on PATH.
• slop-chop.preset: preset to apply (default cleaver; empty for the default profile).

Your ~/.slop-chop/voice.json and a project's .slop-chop.json apply on their own, exactly as they do on the command line.
