What deslop does

The skill reads the diff against main and clears out what the generator added: comments a human would not write, defensive checks and try/catch blocks that do not belong in that part of the codebase, especially when the call comes from a path that is already trusted. Casts to any used to dodge type errors go too, along with any style that clashes with the rest of the file.

It ships as a plain skill — drop SKILL.md into your platform's skills directory and run it after the code is written. The agent edits the branch and closes with a one-to-three sentence summary of what changed.

Everything is measured against main. If your default branch has another name, the diff is not the one you expect, so check that first.

What it helps with

strip comments the model added to every line
drop defensive checks on already-validated data
remove try/catch wrapped around safe calls
replace any-casts with real types
match new code to the file's existing style

Example prompts for the agent

clean the AI slop out of this branch before review
run deslop on the diff and drop the extra comments and checks
compare against main and fix anything that breaks the file's style
