* Add codex-grid-background detector rule Detects the Codex two-axis grid-line background tell: a single background value carrying two or more hairline `linear-gradient(... 1px, transparent 1px)` layers (one per axis), usually paired with a repeating `background-size` cell. Gated behind --gpt like the sibling codex tells, off by default. Counts hairline stops within a single background declaration (not across the page) so unrelated single-axis ruled lines don't add up to a false flag, and matches the stop directly rather than parsing whole gradient layers, since colors like oklch(...) carry nested parens. Extends the gpt-tells fixture with one flag case and two pass cases (single-axis rule, two-color blend), regenerates the browser detector bundle, and bumps the rule count 44 -> 45.

Scope detection to a single style block (CSS rule body or inline style attr) and require both >=2 hairline stops AND a tiling `background-size` px cell in the same block, matching the skill rule's "plus background-size" wording. Add a crosshair-without-tiling pass case. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Scope codex-grid-background hairline count to background values Address review: count hairline stops only inside background/background-image declaration values, not the whole style block, so a hairline in an unrelated property (mask-image, border-image) can't stand in for the grid's second axis. Add a bg+mask-image hairline pass case. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What It Detects
AI Slop Tells: patterns that scream "AI generated this":
- Side-tab accent borders, gradient text on headings
- Purple/violet gradients and cyan-on-dark palettes
- Dark mode with glowing accents, border + border-radius clashes
Typography Issues: overused fonts (Inter, Roboto), flat type hierarchy, single font families
Color & Contrast: WCAG AA violations, gray text on colored backgrounds, pure black/white
Layout & Composition: nested cards, monotonous spacing, everything-centered layouts
Motion: bounce/elastic easing, layout property transitions
Quality: tiny body text, cramped padding, long line lengths, small touch targets
45 deterministic detector rules in total. See the full catalog at impeccable.style/slop.
