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 inspectgit diff <base>...HEAD. - Build a candidate list using
rgover 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.
Slop checklist

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).
