The AI Interface Slop Checklist

Field notes

The checklist treats interface quality as a set of observable tells rather than an abstract matter of taste. Its examples range from system-level drift—fonts, colors, radii, and type sizes outside DESIGN.md—to recognizable surface habits such as glass cards, side-tab borders, repeating-gradient stripes, icon tiles, and oversized hero headlines. The guide says it covers 65 patterns across nine categories, and pairs each pattern with a reference illustration.
