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 inspect
```
git diff <base>...HEAD
```
.
Build a candidate list using
```
rg
```
over 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.

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).
