remove-comments

A code-cleanup command that removes comments which merely repeat what the code already says, while keeping comments that explain reasons, complex logic, warnings, or unfinished work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review source files for redundant comments, identify comments worth removing or preserving, and prepare a cleaner version after confirmation.
Why use it?
It reduces distracting comments without removing documentation that helps future maintainers understand non-obvious behavior.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

remove-comments scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Remove Obvious Comments

I'll clean up redundant comments while preserving valuable documentation.

Analysis Process

I'll identify files with comments using:

  • Glob to find source files
  • Read to examine comment patterns
  • Grep to locate specific comment types

Comments I'll Remove:

  • Simply restate what the code does
  • Add no value beyond the code itself
  • State the obvious (like "constructor" above a constructor)

Comments I'll Preserve:

  • Explain WHY something is done
  • Document complex business logic
  • Contain TODOs, FIXMEs, or HACKs
  • Warn about non-obvious behavior
  • Provide important context

Review Process

For each file with obvious comments, I'll:

  1. Show you the redundant comments I found
  2. Explain why they should be removed
  3. Show the cleaner version
  4. Apply the changes after your confirmation

Important: I will NEVER:

  • Add "Co-authored-by" or any Claude signatures
  • Include "Generated with Claude Code" or similar messages
  • Modify git config or user credentials
  • Add any AI/assistant attribution to the commit

This creates cleaner, more maintainable code where every comment has real value.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

remove-comments is a command published in the GitHub repository brennercruvinel/CCPlugins (2,780 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 255 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
