the badge language
Funny on the surface. Useful underneath.
Five classes. Every badge discloses its diligence level and scope — a green badge without scope would itself be slop.
good slop
Rough or AI-assisted, but basically honest.
wet slop
Real project, but the README overpromises.
haunted slop
Build or structure is cursed; evidence is thin.
misleading slop
Core claims are contradicted or unsupported.
meatless cake
Mostly marketing, little implementation.
Embed it
The level travels with the badge. Tagging your repo is the trigger — it points at a hosted report and, on paid tiers, invokes a recurring scan.

Or inline the whole card
Add ?card=inline and the badge expands into the full score card, right in your README.
