De-Sloppify
Overview
De-Sloppify implements a two-agent pattern for code cleanup:
Implementer — works freely, writes code without worrying about polish
Cleanup Agent — runs after implementation, removes all slop without touching logic
This separation prevents "cleanup anxiety" from slowing down implementation while still producing clean final code.
When to Use
Skill({ skill: 'de-sloppify' });
Invoke when:
Implementation is complete but the code contains known slop (unused imports, leftover console.logs, commented-out code)
Before committing a feature branch
After a rapid prototyping session
As a post-implementation cleanup gate
Iron Law
CLEANUP AGENT MUST NOT CHANGE BEHAVIOR.
Every removal must be verifiable as dead code, unused import,
or formatting-only. If there is any doubt — LEAVE IT.
What Gets Cleaned
Category
Examples
Safe to Remove
Unused imports
import foo from 'foo' — never referenced
YES
console.log / debug
console.log('debug here'), console.error
YES
Commented-out code
// const old = foo() (code, not docs)
YES
Dead code
Unreachable branches, unused variables
YES
Trailing whitespace
Spaces at end of lines
YES
Extra blank lines
3+ consecutive blank lines
YES
TODO with no context
// TODO (no ticket, no description)
On flag only
What Must NOT Be Cleaned
Category
Why
Commented doc blocks
/** ... */ JSDoc, /* ... */ section notes
console.error in catch
May be intentional error logging
Disabled test blocks
// it.skip(...) — intentional
Feature-flag dead code
May be awaiting activation
Complex logic
Even if it looks unused — leave it
Workflow
Phase 1: Implementer Works Freely
The implementer completes the feature without cleanup overhead. This is normal development.
Phase 2: Cleanup Agent Runs
After implementation, invoke de-sloppify. The cleanup agent runs these checks in order:
Step 1: Snapshot Pre-Cleanup State
Command:
git diff HEAD -- {{target_files}} > C:/dev/projects/agent-studio/.claude/context/tmp/pre-cleanup-snapshot.diff
Expected output: A diff file capturing current state.
Verify: File exists at .claude/context/tmp/pre-cleanup-snapshot.diff.
Expected output: JSON array of candidate commented-out code blocks.
Verify: Exit code 0 and valid JSON array.
Step 5: Apply Cleanup
For each finding that is safe to remove, use Edit to remove the line(s). Apply changes conservatively — when in doubt, leave it.
Step 6: Format and Lint
Command:
cd C:/dev/projects/agent-studio && pnpm lint:fix && pnpm format
Expected output:0 errors, 0 warnings from lint; no changes from format.
Verify: Both commands exit 0 with no output indicating issues.
Step 7: Generate Cleanup Diff
Command:
git diff -- {{target_files}}
Expected output: A diff showing only removals (lines starting with -). No additions should appear unless they are indentation fixes.
Verify: Review the diff — confirm every removed line was dead code or formatting. If any functional line was removed, revert with git checkout -- <file>.
Step 8: Report
Produce a cleanup summary:
De-Sloppify Report
==================
Files processed: N
Unused imports removed: N
Console.logs removed: N
Commented-out code blocks removed: N
Dead code blocks removed: N
Formatting fixes applied: N
Diff: git diff HEAD -- <files>
Anti-Patterns
Never remove a console.error inside a catch block without confirming it is debug-only
Never remove commented code that contains a ticket reference or TODO explanation
Never run cleanup on uncommitted work from the implementer — take a snapshot first
Never combine cleanup and logic changes in the same commit
Never use regex to find "unused" code — use the CLI scanner or lint output only
