description: Remove AI-generated code slop, unnecessary comments, and over-engineering from the current branch diff. Cleans up boilerplate, simplifies abstractions, strips defensive code, and in skill-file mode lints SKILL.md files for quality. Use when cleaning up code, simplifying, removing boilerplate, before committing, or when reviewing a skill before promoting it.
---# Remove AI Code Slop
Check the diff against main and remove AI-generated slop introduced in the branch.
## Trigger
Use after completing changes, before committing, or when code feels over-engineered.
## Commands
```bash
git fetch origin main
git diff origin/main...HEAD --stat
git diff origin/main...HEAD
```
## Workflow
1. Run diff commands to see all changes on the branch.
2. Identify slop patterns from the focus areas below.
3. Apply minimal, focused edits to remove slop.
4. Re-run `git diff origin/main...HEAD` to verify only slop was removed.
5. Run tests or type-check to confirm behaviour unchanged: `npm test -- --changed --passWithNoTests 2>&1 | tail -10`
6. Summarise what was cleaned.
## Focus Areas
- Extra comments that state the obvious or are inconsistent with local style
