# Give away a free anti-AI-slop skill to drive traffic for existing paid products; the skill itself makes no money > Source: https://stringers.io/en/m/048.v2.html (Stringers / 什么值得做, generated 2026-11-08) > Stringers answers one question every day: what small product can one or two people build in a few months and actually make money from. Numbers come from 15 databases we collect daily, each with source and date. > For agents: these verdicts and the underlying databases (verified revenue, App Store / Google Play charts, ad libraries, GitHub, Product Hunt…) are queryable live over MCP — tools today / hot / products / directions / direction / data.

Site index: https://stringers.io/llms.txt > Don't build a generic "de-AI-ify" skill for the stars; treat it only as an acquisition channel for an existing product [048] Worth copying GitHub open source · Claude Code / Codex skill Free for audience / funnel Data as of 2026-11-02 # A free, AI-tell-removing skill to funnel people who already pay for a product; the skill itself is free D **Don't chase stars with a generic "anti-AI-slop" skill; treat it as an acquisition channel for a product you already have** The web UI and English-writing-style slots were taken by February. The three gaps that look empty, non-English, frameworks and lint, either cap out at a few hundred stars or get taken by celebrities and big players. Only mobile aesthetics is still accelerating, and the money is in design libraries, not skills Long shot · grade and headline based on the full piece · next review 11-15 | Background | AI-made UI and copy get spotted at a glance. By 2025-11, someone open-sourced a "taste rules" skill | |---|---| | Upside | Free open source to earn stars and an audience. Non-English copywriting, native frameworks, and lint look empty, but they're either tiny or already taken. | | Demand | Developers want to "not get caught" and don't pay; students want to "pass detection" and do pay | | Competition | The top 4 have 4.5–108K stars, and 3 of them are backed by a celebrity or company. The median for new repos is 85 stars. | | Revenue | The skill itself ≈ 0 (107k stars, sponsorship around $330/mo); the money is in incorporating and the funnel | | Growth | Publish before/after comparison series posts first, then release the repo; get into platform shelves; no paid acquisition | | Window | The generic niche is closed. The October wave was three companies shipping in the same week. Watch 11-15 whether it falls back | | Who it's for | People who already have a paid product and want to funnel traffic to developers who write interfaces. Folks who already have some name in a framework community. | ### Full text · about 10 min ### Who's building · 6 teams - [Taste Skill](https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill) What it does A frontend aesthetics skill for coding agents: picks 3 of 20 design directions, uses real photos from open image libraries, and self-checks in a real browser at three widths; MIT, free; built in 2026-02-19 Who they are Leon Lin, Munich, solo, self-described high school student; GitHub account created only 2025-07 ago; later also made the TasteCode desktop app, cinetic and others How it got traction 2-21 X post titled "built my first skill" (1,512 likes, 123k views); no sign of paid acquisition Where it stands 107,629 stars (11-02); +3,730 over 5 days; self-reported 5.2M installs; GitHub Sponsors monthly goal of $1,000 at 33%; 33,050 followers on X - [Impeccable](https://impeccable.style) What it does Design vocabulary and review commands for agents: 24 commands like bolder / polish / critique / audit, plus a slop detector with 62 deterministic rules; free; built in 2025-11-16 Who they are Paul Bakaus, San Francisco; creator of jQuery UI, worked on Chrome DevTools developer relations and AMP at Google 2013–2021, later EVP of product at Spotter How it got traction 2026-06-22 founded Renaissance Geek, with a16z leading the seed round and a GitHub partnership announced the same day; 10-24 listed Perplexity Computer, free tier until 10-31 Where it stands 99,169 stars (11-02); daily gains peaked at 10-30 then fell to 2,013, back to 1,014 after the free window closed 11-02; no public revenue, no ads visible - [Humanizer](https://github.com/blader/humanizer) What it does Writing-style skill based on Wikipedia's "signs of AI writing", removing AI-sounding tone; free; built in 2026-01-18 Who they are Siqi Chen, San Francisco, 410k followers on X How it got traction 1-18 X post "Had Claude Code read the Wikipedia article and write a skill that avoids all of it", 5,535 likes, 920k views Where it stands 63,352 stars (11-02), 5 days +1,690; the author says it won't fool Pangram detection and doesn't aim to - [Hallmark](https://www.usehallmark.com) What it does Anti-AI-slop design skill: 50 themes, layouts by page purpose, linted in a real browser; free; 2026-04-27 built the repo Who they are Hassan El Mghari, New York, head of developer experience at Together AI, 104k followers on X; README says "Made by Together AI" How it got traction 10-22 shipped v2 (2,051 likes, 155k views), "Rewritten from scratch after 30k stars and 60k installs" Where it stands 44,695 stars (11-02); after v2, daily gains went from 10-27 to 2,800,11-02, then back to 861 - [Appllama skills](https://appllama.io) What it does Gets agents to build native-feeling mobile UIs from screenshots of top-grossing iOS apps; the skill is free, backed by a design library of 82,900 screenshots, Pro $10/month with 1,500 MCP credits Who they are Appllama team, founder not disclosed (pricing page shows Indian rupee prices) How it got traction Product first: 2026-08-03 hit #5 on Product Hunt for the day; 8-13 then opened the skill repo to funnel traffic to the design library Where it stands 3,924 stars, 7 days +883 (last week +151), the only mobile library in this group still accelerating; no public revenue - [unslop](https://github.com/heydamir/unslop) What it does Turns vibecoded, obviously-AI interfaces into designs with personality; free; 2026-10-29 built the repo Who they are Damir Sokolovsky, 9,071 followers on X How it got traction Posted before-and-after threads in an "Unslopping" series on X first, then released the repo Where it stands 4 days, 4,698 stars, the highest of any new repo since September; a single new repo gaining thousands of stars in days looks like star-buying, but the series of posts ahead of it means no conclusion yet Data from our own collection (App Store, Google Play, TrustMRR, Meta Ad Library, GitHub), dated.
