Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Scan recent changes for AI-generated code slop and remove it. Use when the user says "deslop", "remove slop", "clean up AI code", or asks to remove AI-generated artifacts from the codebase.Key capabilities
- →Get the git diff against master or HEAD
- →Scan changed files for AI-generated comments
- →Remove unnecessary comments that restate code
- →Identify and remove excessive defensive checks
- →Fix `as any` casts by addressing underlying type issues
- →Correct inconsistent code style
How it works
The skill analyzes git diffs to identify and remove common patterns of AI-generated code slop, such as unnecessary comments, excessive defensive checks, and `as any` casts, then verifies the build.
Inputs & outputs
When to use deslop
- →Clean up AI-generated comments
- →Remove defensive programming bloat
- →Restore human-readable code style
About deslop
Analyzes git diffs to purge unnecessary boilerplate, trivial comments, and over-engineered null checks that detract from code readability.
Scan recent changes for AI-generated code slop and remove it. Use when the user says "deslop", "remove slop", "clean up AI code", or asks to remove AI-generated artifacts from the codebase.
When not to use it
- →When the user wants to generate new code
- →When the user wants to add comments or defensive checks
- →When the user wants to introduce `as any` casts
Limitations
- →Requires a git diff to operate
- →Relies on specific patterns for identifying 'slop'
- →Requires verification of build, lint, and type-check after changes
How it compares
This workflow systematically purges AI-generated code artifacts, maintaining code quality and readability, unlike manual code review which can miss subtle patterns.
