AI Slop Remover

Remove AI-generated code patterns that are inconsistent with human-written code in the codebase.

Workflow

• Get the diff against main branch

• For each changed file, analyze patterns to remove

• Make edits to remove identified slop

• Report a 1-3 sentence summary of changes

Step 1: Get the Diff

git diff main --name-only

Then view each changed file to understand existing code style.

Step 2: Identify AI Slop Patterns

Comments to remove:

• Obvious or redundant comments explaining what code clearly does

• Comments that don't match the commenting style elsewhere in the file

• Section divider comments when not used elsewhere

Defensive code to remove:

• Try/catch blocks around code that doesn't throw or is already in a trusted path

• Null/undefined checks when callers guarantee valid input

• Type guards that duplicate earlier validation

• Redundant error handling when parent functions already handle it

Type issues to fix:

• Casts to any that bypass TypeScript's type system

• Type assertions that hide real type mismatches

• Overly broad generic types when specific types exist

Style inconsistencies:

• Naming conventions that differ from the file

• Spacing/formatting patterns that differ from the file

• Import organization that differs from the file

Step 3: Make Edits

Remove identified patterns while preserving code functionality. Match the existing file's style.

Step 4: Report

End with only a 1-3 sentence summary of what was changed. No lists, no detailed breakdowns.

Example: "Removed 12 redundant comments and 3 unnecessary try/catch blocks across 4 files. Fixed 2 casts to any by using proper interface types."
