Triggers on "remove slop", "clean up AI code", "deslop". - Skill: `tomevault-io/deslop` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/deslop` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/deslop/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/deslop --- # 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." --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/v1-io) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
