What

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

Requested: 11 words. Six were already listed and left unchanged — actually, honestly, fluff, "that being said", symphony, tapestry. The remaining five are new:

Section Added
Overused verbs embody / embodies / embodied → show, represent, reflect
Overused adjectives surgical ("surgical precision"), reverent / reverential
Transitions and connectors consequently → so, as a result
Inflated symbolism phrases "a delicate balance"

Also

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

Verification

  • make check passes (validate, secret scan clean, 8 benchmark cases). semgrep not installed locally → soft warning only.
  • make package builds dist/slop-cop.skill.
  • Ran slop-cop against the edits: entries map each flagged word to concrete replacements and follow the file's existing table/list format.
