deslop

deslop is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 49 tokens per session (4,794 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A cleanup workflow for removing dead code, placeholders, unused fields, redundant wrappers, and stale configuration without changing intended behavior. It checks the result with the repository’s own verification command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to tidy a branch or simplify a diff after feature work is complete.
Why use it?
It reduces clutter while protecting against accidental behavior changes. Regressions can trigger a rollback of the cleanup.

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 B, and why

deslop scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

1. **HIGH deterministic scan.** Use `search` for line patterns and `ast-grep` where syntax shape matters. Record `{file, line, pattern, certainty: HIGH, strategy}` for each finding. Categories: debug output (stream-writi

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deslop

Four modes share one spine: bound scope, verify with the repo's own command, rollback on regression, atomic commits separate from behavior changes.

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger The user says deslop, debloat, tidy, simplify, clean up this diff, deslop a branch diff, remove dead code, find placeholders or stubs, remove dead fields, redundant wrappers, or stale config, or the slop skill routes code findings here
Authority Reversible local: writes only production source files or prose artifacts (may run the repo verifier and git restore on regression); rollback is version control or undo. No remote mutation.
Side effect Local writes to production source files or prose artifacts; no edits to tests, fixtures, mocks, examples, generated, vendored, or lockfile/build artifacts
Done Mode-specific done predicate holds; verifier green or rollback confirmed

Refusal

Not for behavior changes, new abstractions, or refactors that introduce patterns: a tidy pass that would change observable behavior stops and reports a candidate for a separate refactor. Not for remote, credential, publish, deploy, or irreversible changes. Not for duplication across artifacts or drift: those are handed off, not force-compressed. Not for non-code targets (memory, git workspace, docs): route to their owners. Not for opportunistic sweeps across untouched files in tidy mode: the candidate must lie in code already under edit.

Mode selection

User says Mode Target
deslop, remove debug code, find placeholders or stubs, remove dead code, slop routed here slop Production source files
debloat, tighten this, too long bloat One padded prose artifact (document, skill, spec)
tidy this up, simplify, clean up this diff, polish my changes, make this simpler tidy Code in the working tree
dead field, redundant wrapper, stale config, duplicate state, speculative abstraction tidy Code already under edit
deslop this branch diff, remove AI debris from my branch, clean up added lines only diff Added/modified lines in a branch diff

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

deslop is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development (52 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 4,794 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
