Remove AI-generated code slop from a branch or diff. Use after writing or generating code to strip unnecessary comments, defensive checks, `any` casts, and style that does not match the surrounding file. For prose and markdown, use the humanizer skill instead.
# Deslop Remove AI-generated code slop introduced in a branch so the diff reads like a human wrote it and matches the surrounding file and this repo's conventions. ## When to use - After writing or generating a batch of code, before opening a PR. - When a diff shows the tells of AI generation: over-commenting, defensive scaffolding, or style that fights the existing file. - Prose and user-facing markdown are out of scope. Run the `humanizer` skill over those instead. ## What to remove - Comments a human would not add: restating what the code already says, or inconsistent with the comment density of the rest of the file. - Defensive checks and `try/catch` blocks abnormal for the area, especially on trusted or already-validated code paths. The `security` rule puts validation at trust boundaries, not in internal code. - Casts to `any` used only to bypass a type error. Fix the type instead. - Deep nesting that early returns would flatten. - Naming, import, or export style inconsistent with the file and the `code-style` rule. ## Guardrails - Keep behavior unchanged unless you are fixing a clear bug. - Prefer minimal, surgical edits over broad rewrites. - Never remove a check that guards a real trust boundary or real error handling. When unsure whether a check is slop or load-bearing, leave it. - Do not weaken types, lint rules, or tests to make the edit pass. Fix the root cause. - After editing, run `pnpm format && pnpm lint:fix` and let the tests pass. - Report a 1-3 sentence summary of what changed. ## Related skills | Skill | Use for | | --- | --- | | [humanizer](../humanizer/SKILL.md) | Removing AI tells from prose and user-facing markdown |
