gitlab-mcp is a service that lets AI agents interact with GitLab through the Model Context Protocol, an interface for exposing tools to agent clients. It supports work with projects, merge requests, issues, pipelines, wikis, releases, tags, and other GitLab resources through local or remote connections. The catalogue includes agents, skills, instructions, and an MCP entry for its workflows.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00046 | $0.00333 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00167 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00067 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00033 |
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 10d 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
AI Slop Cleaner
Clean AI-generated code slop without changing behavior. Deletion-first workflow with regression safety.
When to Use
- Code that works but feels bloated, repetitive, or over-abstracted
- Duplicate logic, dead code, wrapper layers, boundary leaks
--reviewfor reviewer-only mode (no changes, just findings)
When NOT to Use
- New feature build or product change
- Broad redesign
- Behavior is unclear and untestable
Principles
- Preserve behavior unless explicitly asked for changes
- Delete before refactoring — removal is safest
- Scope-bounded: only clean what was specified
- Regression-safe: verify tests pass after every change
Slop Signals
- Unnecessary wrapper functions
- Duplicated logic across files
- Over-abstracted single-use helpers
- Dead code / unreachable branches
- Excessive comments restating obvious code
- Premature abstractions (used only once)
Workflow
- Identify target files/scope
- Run existing tests (baseline)
- Apply deletions first (dead code, unused imports)
- Simplify remaining code (reduce nesting, merge duplicates)
- Re-run tests after each change
- Report what was cleaned and verification results
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.

ai-slop-cleaner is a skill published in the GitHub repository zereight/gitlab-mcp (1,963 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 333 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
adversarial-reviewer
Adversarial code review that assumes bugs exist and hunts for them. Use when asked to review code, find bugs, audit for correctness, stress-test a PR, or when someone says "tear this apart" or "what's wrong with this". Give no benefit of the doubt — every line is guilty until proven innocent.
gsd-ns-review
Route to the appropriate quality / review skill based on the user's intent. gsd-code-review-fix was absorbed by gsd-code-review --fix in #2790.
issue
Use when starting a chain from a GitHub issue — turning an issue URL or number into a triaged, planned, dispatched, and reviewed pull request. Classifies the thread (bug → root-cause discipline, feature → plan chain, question → drafted reply), synthesizes a spec from the issue's own acceptance criteria, then runs the…
gitnexus
A code-graph analysis add-on for examining an existing codebase, including symbols, call paths, execution flows, and effects across repositories. It can query GitNexus through its command-line or MCP interfaces.
cleanup-code-inspections
Reduce technical debt and improve code quality by systematically resolving static analysis warnings.
superlint
This skill describes the mandatory standard operating procedure for using our internal SuperLint tool. Use this when tasks require fixing code quality issues according to corporate standards.
