What deslop does

The skill inspects the diff against main to find and clean up AI-introduced clutter. It removes verbose or uncharacteristic comments that clash with repository conventions. Unneeded defensive checks and try/catch blocks on trusted execution paths are eliminated. The prompt also targets quick type casts to any used merely to silence compiler checks.

Deep indentation gets flattened using early returns. Behavior remains untouched unless an actual bug is spotted. Edits are kept strictly minimal, while the final summary takes just one to three sentences.

What it helps with

  • strip unneeded AI comments from branch changes
  • flatten nested blocks with early returns
  • clean up redundant try/catch wrappers on trusted paths
  • replace temporary any casts with proper types

Example prompts for the agent

  • Check the diff against main and run deslop
  • Clean up AI slop and unnecessary comments in this branch
  • Review branch changes against main and remove superfluous any casts
