 "title": "Edit a file from the terminal and gate on approval",
 "page_title": "How to edit a file from the terminal and gate on approval with Zero Slop",
 "summary": "Send a file to the hosted editor with the CLI and exit nonzero when review is needed.",
 "who": "A developer or technical writer who wants slop removal as a step in a terminal workflow or script.",
 "problem": "Manual copy-paste into a web editor breaks repeatable workflows, and scripts need a pass or fail signal.",
 "outcome": "Edited text printed to the terminal, with a nonzero exit code when the result still needs human review.",
 "steps": [
  "Confirm Node.js 22+ is installed.",
  "Run `npx --yes zero-slop@2.12.26 deslop draft.md --genre professional` to get the edited result.",
  "Add `--json` to get structured output, or use `-` to read from stdin.",
  "Add `--require-approved` so the command exits nonzero when review is needed.",
  "Read the CLI options and privacy notes in docs/cli.md before running on private text."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Run npx --yes zero-slop@2.12.26 deslop <path-to-draft> --genre professional --json --require-approved on the file and report the status and the exit code. Verify that the source file on disk was not changed by the command.",

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The CLI sends the file to the hosted editor, so check the privacy notes in docs/cli.md before using it on confidential drafts.",
