| description | Strip AI-generated noise from the diff before pushing — extra comments a human wouldn't write, defensive try/catch in trusted code paths, casts to any, inline imports in Python, and other style inconsistencies with the surrounding file. Use this immediately before commit so the diff stays clean. |

Remove AI Code Slop
Check the diff against the base branch and remove all AI-generated
slop introduced in this branch.
What to remove
- Extra comments that a human wouldn't add or that are inconsistent
with the rest of the file (no
// loop through items, no
# increment counter, no // Handle the error case).
- Extra defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for
that area of the codebase, especially when called from
trusted/validated code paths.
- Casts to
any (or as unknown as X) that exist purely to silence
the type checker. If a type assertion is needed, use the narrowest
correct type instead.
- Inline imports in Python — move to the top of the file alongside the
other imports. Group with the appropriate import section (stdlib,
third-party, local).
- Redundant type annotations where TypeScript inference handles it
(e.g.,
const x: string = "hello" → const x = "hello").
- Unnecessary
else after return, throw, continue, or break.
- Console.log / print statements left from debugging.
- Overly verbose variable names that don't match the file's naming
convention (e.g.,
isCurrentlyLoadingDataFromServer when neighbors
use loading).
- Any other style that's inconsistent with the file (string quote
choice, brace style, trailing commas, etc.).
Process
- Get the diff against the default branch:
git diff $(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')...HEAD
- For each changed file, scan for the patterns above.
- Remove identified slop while preserving legitimate changes.
- Report a 1–3 sentence summary of what was changed.
Why
Code reviewers (human and bot) react badly to AI-generated noise: it
looks lazy, hides intent, and inflates the diff. A clean diff
gets merged faster.
