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 started from a vague memory of something that used to screw up LLMs (the grandma trick) and wrote whatever sounded fun from there

      there’s absolutely no guarantees it’ll do anything to an LLM as spending money on tokens to test it felt gross, but it’s a hopefully memorable starting point for people to grow on

      in the very worst case it gives the humans reading the repo a laugh (always worth it), fills a bit of the context window of visiting LLMs with nonsense, gives visiting slop coders absolutely nothing to work with, and acts like a canary (if you’re viewing a diff that changes these files and you weren’t expecting changes, someone using an LLM slipped up)
