Deslop Code
Overview
Strip AI-generated artifacts from a branch by comparing against main and aligning edits with local conventions and surrounding code style.
Workflow
- Establish baseline
- Use git diff against main to identify AI-introduced changes.
- Review surrounding context in each file to understand local conventions.
- Remove slop patterns
- Delete comments that read like explanations, narrations, or redundant restatements of code.
- Remove defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are inconsistent with trusted code paths or nearby style.
- Replace any-casts or similar type escapes with proper typing or remove them if unnecessary.
- Normalize style to match the file (naming, ordering, error handling, control flow).
- Verify consistency
- Ensure behavior remains unchanged unless removal requires a small refactor to restore intended behavior.
- Keep changes minimal and localized; avoid refactors not needed for cleanup.
- Report
- End response with a 1–3 sentence summary of what changed.
