Does this skill only report issues or does it actually fix them?

Unlike traditional linters, Slop Cleaner is designed to actively fix issues using Claude's editing capabilities, though it provides a --dry-run mode for reporting only.

What is 'code slop' in this context?

Code slop refers to unnecessary complexity, overly verbose AI-generated comments, redundant abstractions, and dead code that makes a codebase harder to maintain and read.

How does it determine my project's coding standards?

It automatically searches for .claude/STANDARDS.md or STANDARDS.md in your project root. If neither exists, it can use sensible default standards provided by the skill.

Can I run this on specific files instead of the whole project?

Yes, you can narrow the scope of the review by passing specific file paths or directories as arguments to focus the cleanup on just the relevant files.

Is it safe to use on security-sensitive codebases?

Yes, the skill includes specific checks for OWASP Top 10 security issues and hardcoded secrets to help improve the security posture of your recent changes.

Developer Tools

Automatically identifies and refines AI-generated code, removes redundant abstractions, and enforces project-specific coding standards.

Slop Cleaner is a specialized utility designed to maintain codebase integrity by identifying and fixing "slop"—common bad practices like over-engineering, dead code, and inconsistent patterns that often arise from rapid development or AI generation. It integrates directly with Git to analyze recent commits, staged changes, or specific file paths, comparing them against your project's STANDARDS.md file. Beyond simple linting, it proactively removes unnecessary verbosity, security vulnerabilities, and DRY violations, ensuring your code remains lean, secure, and professional without manual intervention.
