Technical Deslop
Purpose
Clean branch/staged diffs by removing AI-style slop and restoring repo-consistent style without changing behavior.
When to use
- A diff feels over-explained, overly defensive, or inconsistent with surrounding code.
- You need a final cleanup pass before review/PR.
- You want to normalize style after automated generation.
Workflow
- Capture scope with
git diff --cached and git diff $(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)..HEAD.
- Focus only on changed hunks (or user-scoped files).
- Apply the cleanup sequence in
references/playbook.md.
- Remove slop patterns: redundant comments, unnecessary defensive branches, non-idiomatic casts, and style drift.
- Re-check behavior boundaries: no logic changes unless the user explicitly requested them.
- Report a short 1-3 sentence summary of cleanup performed.
Read references/slop-patterns.md for detection rules and references/playbook.md for execution order.
Inputs
- Optional file scope (
FILES) or explicit user file targets.
- Current branch diff and staged diff.
- Repository conventions from local instructions/config.
Outputs
- Behavior-preserving cleanup in touched files.
- Minimal summary of what was normalized and where.
