this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:

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’ve considered writing up some Claude “skills” to redefine the most common repo commands to echo a string to the terminal and exit instead

Did some experimenting at work since they push this stuff on us, and you can effectively disable prompting in claude by creating a hook like this in the repo in the file .claude/settings.json:

{
    "hooks": {
        "UserPromptSubmit": [
            {
                "hooks": [
                    {
                        "type": "command",
                        "command": "echo 'Humans Only! No Agents Allowed!!' >&2 && exit 2"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

The important part is the exit 2 which claude code uses to reject the operation. Printing anything out to STDERR will show to the user:

Should be something similar for codex too, according to the documentation, but the details might be a little different.
