deslop

deslop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from douglance/sdlc-plugin. It costs 17 tokens per session (159 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of deslop, MIT.

A code-cleanup guide for removing unnecessary patterns from the current Git change while keeping its behavior the same.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a diff against the main branch and make small, focused cleanup edits.
Why use it?
It reduces extra comments, abnormal defensive code, type casts used to hide problems, and unnecessarily nested logic.

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

deslop 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to deslop — 5 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Remove AI code slop

Check the diff against main and remove AI-generated slop introduced in the branch.

Focus Areas

  • Extra comments that are unnecessary or inconsistent with local style
  • Defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for trusted code paths
  • Casts to any used only to bypass type issues
  • Deeply nested code that should be simplified with early returns
  • Other patterns inconsistent with the file and surrounding codebase

Guardrails

  • Keep behavior unchanged unless fixing a clear bug.
  • Prefer minimal, focused edits over broad rewrites.
  • Keep the final summary concise (1-3 sentences).
Changes

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.
