anti-slop vs cc-safety-net
The two are close in size: 1.0k stars for anti-slop, 1.5k for cc-safety-net. Over the days we have tracked them anti-slop moved +131.3% and cc-safety-net +2.9%, so anti-slop is growing faster right now.
They split the axes: anti-slop leads on model freedom, cc-safety-net on customization.
Stars and commit dates come from our own daily tracking. The six axes are read off each project's documentation by our review pipeline, so they describe what a project says about itself, not what we measured in its code.
Where they stand today
A rule-based filter with a mandatory PASS/FAIL Delivery Gate and liveliness toolkit focused on removing generic AI-generated UI and copy without prescribing visual style.

Six axes, head to head
Each axis runs 0 to 5. The label under a score is what that project's own docs claim, not a category average.
| Axis | anti-slop | cc-safety-net |
|---|---|---|
Context depth How much of your codebase it sees before it answers: the open diff, the diff plus related files, or the whole repository. | ●●●●● Diff + related files | ●●●●● Command + related files |
Noise control How it keeps output volume down — severity thresholds, deduplication, incremental runs over new commits only. | ●●●●● Hard gates + report | ●●●●● Presets + audit |
Customization How far it bends to your team: custom rules, prompts, style guides, per-path config. | ●●●●● Configurable skills & dials | ●●●●● Rulebooks & per-project |
Privacy Whether your code stays on your own infrastructure: fully local, self-hostable, or cloud API only. | ●●●●● Self-hostable | ●●●●● Local-only |
Model freedom Whether you can point it at any provider, or it is wired to one. | ●●●●● Any agent / BYOK | ●●●●● Multiple agent CLIs |
Setup ease What it takes to get a first useful run out of it. | ●●●●● One-command / npx | ●●●●● One-command install |
Which one to pick
Pick anti-slop if…
Easy setup — one-command picker or a single-file install drops a portable, non-prescriptive filter into many coding agents so you can stop AI 'slop' fast.
- Model freedom: Any agent / BYOK (5/5 against 3/5)
Pick cc-safety-net if…
Safety-first — Blocks destructive git/filesystem commands and secret access before AI agents run them, using semantic command analysis, configurable rulebooks, presets, and a local audit trail.
- Customization: Rulebooks & per-project (5/5 against 3/5)
