# AI slop audit roadmap

Purpose: audit the generated Enneagram course for AI-ish prose and clean it with the `humanize` skill rules while preserving source grounding, HTML structure, links, quizzes, and meaning.

## Humanize rules used

- Preserve language, meaning, names, citations, source links, quiz answers, and course structure.
- Do not invent new Enneagram claims or outside examples.
- Prefer precise Russian over chatbot wrappers, inflated claims, fake depth, repeated generic transitions, and noun-heavy phrasing.
- Leave functional course scaffolding when it helps learning; edit it only when it becomes filler or repeats the title without adding meaning.

## Roadmap status

- [x] Build an audit scope covering generated HTML lessons, reference cards, README files, roadmap/docs, CSS/JS artifacts where relevant.
- [x] Scan for exact chatbot residue, AI citation artifacts, over-polished wording, unsupported claims, and known house-banned headings/patterns.
- [x] Manually inspect high-risk files: one-line/generated HTML, fragmentary type cards, new concept and type-difference lessons.
- [x] Rewrite detected slop using the humanize rules, without changing source claims, links, quiz data, or behavior.
- [x] Validate HTML structure and local links for every generated HTML artifact.
- [x] Smoke-check representative cleaned pages through a local HTTP server.
- [x] Reconcile this audit with `course/MATERIAL-TODO.md` and `course/README.md`.

## Scope

- HTML artifacts audited: 91
- Markdown/docs audited: 23 content docs, plus the audit artifacts themselves (`AI-SLOP-AUDIT.md`, `AI-SLOP-COMPLETION-AUDIT.md`)
- CSS/JS support files scanned for chatbot/citation residue; no prose edits needed.
- Source transcripts and source knowledge-base files outside `course/` were not rewritten.

## Findings and fixes

### Fixed

- Reformatted and rewrote compact one-line HTML files that looked generated rather than authored.
- Reduced abstract phrasing in the new concept/type-difference cards.
- Replaced several generic lines with more concrete headings and prose.
- Kept fragmentary Type 3 and Type 9 cards honest: they now say plainly that the source coverage is limited.

### Audited and left unchanged

These files were checked against the humanize checklist and left as-is because the structure is instructional, the prose is source-grounded, and no actionable slop was found beyond accepted course scaffolding.

## Accepted course scaffolding

- Repeated labels such as `Практика`, `Проверка памяти`, `Дальше`, and source blocks are kept as functional lesson UI, not prose filler.
- The footer about internal sources is kept because it protects the internal-source-only constraint.
- Type names, concepts, and words like `уникальность`, `эффективность`, `ценность` are kept where they are actual Enneagram terms from the source, not promotional adjectives.

## Verification evidence

- Exact slop scan after cleanup: `bad_exact_hits 0` for chatbot wrappers, AI citation artifacts, and banned phrase families from the humanize checklist.
- HTML/link/style validation after cleanup: `html/link/style ok: 91 html files`.
- Markdown local link validation after cleanup: `markdown local links ok`.
- Roadmap audit after cleanup: no pending `[ ]` or `[~]` items in `course/MATERIAL-TODO.md` after the status legend.
- HTTP smoke checks after cleanup returned `200 OK` for representative humanized pages: `presence/0001-notice-without-attacking.html`, `type-differences/reference-how-to-distinguish-types.html`, `type-3/reference-type-3-fragmentary.html`.

## Completion checklist

- [x] All generated course lessons/references/docs under `course/` audited.
- [x] Detected AI slop rewritten.
- [x] Meaning, links, sources, HTML structure, and quiz behavior preserved.
- [x] No unsupported external claims added.
- [x] Source transcripts preserved.
