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:

all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

AAA-NO-SLOP.md: a signal for humans that don’t like LLMs (codeberg.org)

submitted 10 hours ago by self@awful.systems to c/freeasm@awful.systems

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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

Why the AAA at the beginning of the name? NOSLOP.md would have been enough. Nice idea though.

Probably so that it's one of the first files listed when looking at the contents of a repo alphabetically

Certainly not the approach I would have taken! (Getting the bot to give up on delivering code, and instead return epic-length erotic fan fiction featuring Elan Sleazebaggano, the breakout supporting character from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones) But probably all the more effective for it.

How does one even come up with poison like that? Is it generated? If not you sure were creative!

We're going to have to use warding spells and curses next

Machine spirits. It's 2026 and we already have machine spirits. The next 40k years are going to be rough.

This is perfect.

I'm not sure what you're doing, but I love your attitude

It's making so that if AI agents interact with the codebase OP is working, they will likely produce garbage results making their potential submissions useless, deterring against their use.

Also, nice username ;)

Does the grandma prompt still work?
