technical-deslop

technical-deslop is a skill for Codex from vincentkoc/dotskills. It costs 21 tokens per session (314 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cleanup pass for staged changes and branch differences that removes noisy, AI-like code while keeping the program’s behavior unchanged. A diff is the set of changes between two versions of files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before review or a pull request to remove redundant comments, unnecessary defensive code, awkward type casts, and other style inconsistencies.
Why use it?
It helps make generated or over-explained changes match the repository’s existing style. It limits cleanup to changed code and checks that the logic stays the same.

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

technical-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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Technical Deslop

Purpose

Clean branch/staged diffs by removing AI-style slop and restoring repo-consistent style without changing behavior.

When to use

  • A diff feels over-explained, overly defensive, or inconsistent with surrounding code.
  • You need a final cleanup pass before review/PR.
  • You want to normalize style after automated generation.

Workflow

  1. Capture scope with git diff --cached and git diff $(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)..HEAD.
  2. Focus only on changed hunks (or user-scoped files).
  3. Apply the cleanup sequence in references/playbook.md.
  4. Remove slop patterns: redundant comments, unnecessary defensive branches, non-idiomatic casts, and style drift.
  5. Re-check behavior boundaries: no logic changes unless the user explicitly requested them.
  6. Report a short 1-3 sentence summary of cleanup performed.

Read references/slop-patterns.md for detection rules and references/playbook.md for execution order.

Inputs

  • Optional file scope (FILES) or explicit user file targets.
  • Current branch diff and staged diff.
  • Repository conventions from local instructions/config.

Outputs

  • Behavior-preserving cleanup in touched files.
  • Minimal summary of what was normalized and where.
Files

What ships with it

4 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.
