title: cmd-tells summary: "/design-engineering tells [target]" — scan UI, code or copy for AI-default tells and return a prioritized deletion list, not a redesign. tags: [command, anti-patterns, unslop, judge]

Aliases: unslop, slop. Posture: judge. The output is a list of things to delete, not a new visual direction.

Steps

Pick the surface and read only its nodes:
- a screen or page → ai-default-tells, content-authenticity
- a screenshot → screenshot-critique
- copy, a README or release notes → copy-tells
- code → code-tells
- a dashboard → dashboard-tells
Read gotchas and pov. The installer's hard rules outrank the catalog.
Run unslop-pass in its order. Every tell you remove must leave something better behind, because removing tells and leaving a thin screen is its own failure.

Output

A numbered deletion list, highest impact first. Each item gives what to remove or replace, where it is (file:line or the region of the screen), and the node that names the tell. Then one line on what to enlarge or keep, so the screen is not left empty.

Hand-offs

Propose a new direction only if the user asks after the scan, and then run options from cmd-small. You may delegate to the anti-pattern-scanner subagent where the host has it.
