What

Adds seven new AI-slop offenders to skills/slop-cop/references/prose-phrases.md, each with plain-word replacements.

Requested: 14 words. Seven were already listed and left unchanged — leverage, navigate, delve, robust, seamless, pivotal, streamline. The remaining seven are new:

Section Added
Overused verbs elevate, shift (abstract), land ("the point lands"), evolve / evolving
Overused adjectives actionable, curious
Empty intensifiers quietly (false understatement)

Also

  • New prose-marketing-verbs benchmark fixture in benchmark/cases.yml exercising the added entries.
  • CHANGELOG.md note under Unreleased.

Verification

  • make check passes (validate, gitleaks/trivy secret scan clean, 7 benchmark cases). semgrep not installed locally → soft warning only.
  • make package builds dist/slop-cop.skill.
  • Ran slop-cop against the edits themselves per the two laws: entries are direct, map vague words to concrete replacements, and follow the file's existing table format.

…uietly

Extend references/prose-phrases.md with seven new AI-slop offenders and
plain-word replacements. Seven of the requested fourteen words (leverage,
navigate, delve, robust, seamless, pivotal, streamline) were already listed
and left unchanged.

- Overused verbs: elevate, shift (abstract), land, evolve/evolving
- Overused adjectives: actionable, curious
- Empty intensifiers: quietly (false understatement)

Add a prose-marketing-verbs benchmark fixture exercising the new entries and
a CHANGELOG note. make check and make package pass.
