code-slop

code-slop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AsyrafHussin/agent-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (3,012 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review method for spotting patterns often found in AI-written PHP, Laravel, TypeScript, and React code. It examines readability and design choices, including excessive comments, generic names, overengineering, and weak tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing AI-assisted pull requests or checking whether code has unnecessary abstractions, repetitive defensive handling, mock-heavy tests, or tutorial-like style.
Why use it?
Standard checks can pass code that is difficult to maintain, even when it has no obvious errors or measurable quality failure.

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

code-slop 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 6d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Slop Detection

Taste-level review of code for AI-generated patterns. Contains 24 rules across 6 categories covering comments, naming, over-engineering, defensive overdose, test slop, and style fingerprints. Where technical-debt measures quantitative code debt (complexity, duplication, CVEs), this skill measures the qualitative failure mode: code that passes every metric but reads like a tutorial blog post, not like a human wrote it.

Why this skill exists

Industry data on AI-assisted code (GitClear 2025, cURL bug-bounty shutdown 2025, arXiv 2510.03029):

  • Refactoring collapsed from 25% to <10% of changes
  • Copy-paste surged 8.3% → 12.3%; code duplication rose ~8x
  • Code-smell rates +42–85% over human baselines
  • 82% of AI PRs use generic catch blocks that don't distinguish error types
  • 76% miss timeouts on external calls

None of this fails a typical CI lint. It just makes the codebase slowly unmaintainable. This skill is the lens for catching it before it ships.

The core insight: reading cost > writing cost now. The cost of writing code collapsed; the cost of reading it didn't. Code you can't quickly understand is slop, even if it works.

How to Audit

When the user asks "review for AI slop", "audit code-quality taste", or "find AI patterns" — run through this skill's rules as a checklist against the changed files (PR diff) or full repo.

Audit Step 1: Determine Scope

  • If a PR diff is provided: audit only files changed in the diff
  • If files are named: audit those
  • If no scope: audit the whole repo, prioritized by recently-touched files (most likely AI output)

Audit Step 2: Detect Stack

Signal Stack
composer.json + artisan PHP / Laravel
package.json (with TypeScript/React deps) Node / TypeScript / React
Both present Laravel + Inertia + React

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.
