Remove AI Code Slop

Check the diff against main and remove all AI-generated slop introduced in this branch.

Usage

/deslop

What It Removes

• Extra comments that a human wouldn't add or are inconsistent with the rest of the file
• Extra defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for that area of the codebase (especially if called by trusted/validated codepaths)
• Casts to any to get around type issues
• Over-engineered patterns that don't match the file's existing style
• Unnecessary type annotations on obvious types
• Verbose error handling where simpler patterns exist
• Redundant null checks in already-validated paths
• Excessive logging beyond what's normal for the codebase

What It Preserves

• Actual bug fixes and intended functionality
• Comments that provide genuine value
• Defensive code at trust boundaries (user input, external APIs)
• Type annotations that improve clarity

Process

1. Gets diff between current branch and main
2. Reviews each changed file for AI slop patterns
3. Removes slop while preserving intended changes
4. Reports a 1-3 sentence summary of what was changed

Output

A brief summary like:

"Removed 3 unnecessary try/catch blocks in query.py, deleted 5 redundant comments in handler.ts, and removed 2 any casts that were hiding type issues."
