ai-slop-cleaner

ai-slop-cleaner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vibeeval/vibecosystem. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,097 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cleanup process for removing unnecessary code left by AI-generated implementations while keeping the required behavior. It checks items such as dead imports, unused variables, debug output, and needless abstractions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementing a feature to remove clutter in repeated passes, running tests after each pass.
Why use it?
It makes code easier to understand and maintain after an AI has added working but redundant or overly complicated parts.

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

ai-slop-cleaner 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 7d 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.

AI Slop Cleaner

AI code generation produces working code. It also produces unnecessary code alongside it. This skill removes the unnecessary parts while keeping everything that matters.

What Is "AI Slop"?

AI slop is code that:

  • Works, but shouldn't exist
  • Adds complexity without adding value
  • Was clearly generated to pad a response rather than solve a problem
  • Suggests the author wasn't thinking, just generating

Common slop categories and their signals:

Category Signal
Dead imports Imported but never referenced in the file
Unused variables Declared, never read
Commented-out code Blocks of // old code or /* removed */
Debug remnants console.log, print(), debugger, fmt.Println
Obvious comments // increment counter above count++
Redundant JSDoc @param name - the name above name: string
Premature abstractions A factory that creates exactly one thing
One-use helpers Private function called exactly once, trivially inlinable
Overly generic types <T extends object> when T is always User
Over-parameterized fn(a, b, c, d, e) where 4 params never vary
Unreachable branches if (false) or if (isLoggedIn && !isLoggedIn)
Speculative features Code paths for requirements that don't exist
Copy-paste duplication Two blocks identical except one variable name
Placeholder remnants TODO: implement, lorem ipsum, example data in prod

The Prime Directive

Tests are sacred. Never clean test files.

Tests exist to protect behavior. Any cleanup that breaks a test reveals that the "slop" was actually load-bearing. That is good information. The test wins.

Regression-Safe Workflow (Non-Negotiable)

BEFORE ANYTHING: Run full test suite → all tests must pass (baseline)

FOR EACH PASS:
  1. Identify targets for this pass category
  2. Apply cleanup
  3. Run tests
  4. If tests pass: keep cleanup, continue
  5. If tests fail: git checkout -- . (revert), skip this pass category
  6. Log what was reverted and why

AFTER ALL PASSES: Run full test suite → confirm all tests still pass
Report: lines removed, files touched, passes skipped, reason for each skip
