AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemSlick

Human-in-the-loop AI detection that never auto-closes, unlike GitHub's native filters.

Strengths
  • •Configurable threshold slider with real-time reclassification in the demo
  • •Provenance trail and prompt fingerprinting instead of binary detect/pass
  • •Self-hostable and source-available for teams wanting control
Weaknesses
  • •92% recall means 8% of slop still slips through undetected
  • •AI detection accuracy is fundamentally limited as models improve
Target Audience

Open source maintainers and repo owners dealing with AI-generated PR spam

Open Slop – A GitHub Action to Triage AI-Generated PR Slop

Instead of chasing unreliable "AI fingerprint" heuristics, this action flags PRs using three blunt but practical signals — Velocity (how fast complex changes appear), Shotgun (many unrelated PRs from the same account), and Ghost (account age). It’s a small, sensible tool you can drop into a repo (bundled dist, single triage comment) that will immediately reduce the noise; just watch for false positives around rapid expert contributors and consider tuning thresholds.
