Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 8)

SlopGuard is a GitHub App that automatically detects and quarantines low-effort, AI-generated pull requests and issues, using a combination of static heuristics and optional LLM analysis to score contributions. It stands out for its human-in-the-loop approach (never auto-closes), source-available licensing with self-hosting support, and a focus on addressing the growing problem of AI 'slop' in open-source maintenance. This tool is timely and practical, filling a clear gap in developer workflow automation.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, open-source maintainers
