Sailop is a developer skill and CLI that plugs into your AI coding tools. It detects the visual fingerprint of machine-generated code across seven dimensions and transforms every output so each project ships with a unique design identity.

Works with
Three steps from generic AI output to a unique, professional codebase. Every transformation is deterministic and reproducible.
Sailop scans your code across seven dimensions of visual identity. Each file receives a DNA score from 0 to 100. A score above 60 means your output is visually indistinguishable from thousands of other AI-generated projects. The radar chart shows exactly which dimensions need attention.
43 detection rules, continuously updated as AI models evolve their default patterns.
For every detected pattern, Sailop generates a unique replacement using procedural design algorithms. Colors are rebuilt using harmonic theory. Fonts are selected from curated pairings. Layouts shift from symmetric grids to compositional asymmetry. No two transformations produce the same result.
Replaces colors, fonts, layouts, animations, border-radius values, spacing scales, and component patterns in a single pass.
CLI
Run sailop scan and sailop transform directly from your terminal. Integrates with any build pipeline or CI system.
MCP Skill
Install as an MCP skill for Claude, Cursor, or any compatible AI tool. Code is intercepted and transformed automatically before you see it.
Git Hooks
Add a pre-commit hook that blocks code with a DNA score above your threshold. Enforce visual uniqueness across your entire team.
Each dimension targets a specific category of AI-generated visual patterns. Together, they form a comprehensive fingerprint of machine-generated design.
AI Default: grid-cols-3
Sailop: asymmetric 2fr 3fr
AI defaults to centered heroes, symmetric three-column grids, and uniform card layouts. These patterns appear in over 70% of AI-generated landing pages. Sailop rewrites layouts to use asymmetric column ratios like 5fr 3fr, off-center compositions, and varied content widths that create visual hierarchy through spatial contrast rather than repetition.
The most flagged AI pattern is Tailwind blue (#3B82F6) and its purple neighbors. Sailop replaces these with procedurally generated palettes that use warm undertones, split-complementary harmonies, and intentional contrast ratios. Each palette is unique and passes WCAG AA accessibility standards.

The quick brown fox
Bitter / Karla / serif + sans-serif pairing
Inter, Roboto, and system-ui appear in the vast majority of AI-generated projects. Sailop swaps these with curated alternatives from a pool of 37 font pairings: serif display faces like Cormorant Garamond or Playfair Display paired with clean body text like Karla or Source Sans Pro.
Fade-up on scroll, linear staggers, and animate-pulse are the hallmarks of AI-generated motion. Sailop replaces these with clip-path reveals, blur-in transitions, custom cubic-bezier curves, and stagger patterns that follow natural reading flow rather than uniform timing.
AI Default: fade-up
Sailop: clip-reveal
AI Default: uniform cards
Sailop: varied layout
Backdrop-blur navigation, uniform border-radius cards, and identical feature grids signal AI authorship. Sailop introduces varied component patterns: solid navbars with border-bottom, mixed border-radius values, stacked or asymmetric feature layouts, and components that break the grid.
AI-generated code often produces div soup with no semantic HTML, no CSS custom properties, and repetitive inline styles. Sailop enforces section, article, header, and nav elements, generates CSS custom property systems, and consolidates repeated values into variables.
AI Default: div soup
Sailop: semantic HTML
AI Default: uniform spacing
Sailop: varied rhythm
Uniform padding and margin values (like 24px everywhere or multiples of 8px exclusively) create a mechanical rhythm that feels generated. Sailop introduces varied spacing scales: tighter above headings, wider between sections, and intentional asymmetry in vertical rhythm.

Sailop uses a pattern-matching engine that scans your codebase across seven distinct dimensions: layout structure, color palette, typography choices, animation patterns, component architecture, semantic structure, and spacing rhythm. Each dimension has specific signals it looks for. For example, the color dimension flags hex values like #3B82F6, #6366F1, and #8B5CF6 that appear in over 80% of AI-generated landing pages. The layout dimension detects centered hero sections, symmetric three-column grids, and uniform card layouts. Together, these 43 signals produce a DNA score from 0 to 100 that tells you exactly how generic your output looks.
Yes. Sailop integrates with any tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) or CLI pipelines. This includes Claude, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Gemini, Bolt, and v0. For MCP-compatible tools, Sailop runs as a skill that automatically intercepts generated code. For others, you can use the CLI to scan and transform files manually, or set up Git hooks that run Sailop before every commit. The tool operates on the output files themselves, so it is agnostic to which AI generated the code.
No. Sailop only modifies visual and structural presentation. It changes CSS properties, class names, font references, color values, layout grids, and animation definitions. It does not alter business logic, API calls, data handling, state management, or any functional JavaScript or TypeScript. Every transformation preserves semantic meaning. For example, a three-column grid becomes an asymmetric two-column layout, but the same content appears in the same order. The tool writes to a new file by default (e.g., page.fixed.tsx), so your original is always preserved.
Large language models are trained on the same corpus of popular freemium projects, design systems, and documentation. This creates strong biases toward specific defaults: Inter or system fonts, Tailwind blue (#3B82F6), three-column grids, rounded corners at 8px, fade-up animations, and backdrop-blur navigation bars. When every developer ships these defaults, websites converge on a single aesthetic that users increasingly recognize as machine-made. Sailop breaks this convergence by replacing default patterns with procedurally generated alternatives, ensuring each project has a distinct visual identity.
The core detection engine and all 43 rules are freemium under the Proprietary. You can fork the repository, add your own rules, adjust scoring weights, or disable specific dimensions entirely. The Pro and Team plans add hosted API access for CI/CD pipelines, continuous rule updates as new AI patterns emerge, shared team configurations, and dedicated support. But the CLI tool itself will always be free and freemium.
The DNA score is a weighted composite of all detected patterns across the seven dimensions. Each signal has a severity weight based on how commonly it appears in AI-generated code and how visually distinctive it is. A score of 0 means no known AI patterns were detected. A score of 100 would mean every known pattern is present. In practice, raw AI output typically scores between 60 and 85. After transformation, the score drops to 0. The grading scale is: A (0-10), B (11-25), C (26-40), D (41-60), F (61-100).
