Deslop

When to use this skill

Use when asked to:

• "remove AI slop"
• "clean up generated code style"
• "review branch diff for weird comments/defensive checks/casts"

Workflow

• Set comparison base (default main) and inspect git diff ...HEAD.
• Build a candidate list using rg over added lines (comments, catches, casts, lint ignores, placeholders, debug leftovers).
• Review each candidate in full file context and compare with nearby local patterns.
• Remove only inconsistent slop; keep behavior and domain-valid guards.
• Re-run project checks (bun check, bun typecheck) and fix regressions.
• Report exact files changed and what slop was removed vs intentionally kept.

Guardrails

• Do not remove protections at trust boundaries (user input, auth, network, db, file I/O).
• Do not replace real typing with weaker typing.
• Prefer minimal edits over broad rewrites.
• Keep project conventions (hooks/query style, component patterns, naming).
