Is this skill compatible with existing documentation formats?

Yes, it is designed to work across source code comments, Markdown documentation, and general technical text common in software projects.

Will this skill remove important technical details from my code?

No. The skill is designed with strict preservation rules for technical specifications, error conditions, formulas, and architectural decisions to ensure only fluff is removed.

What exactly is 'AI slop'?

AI slop refers to the verbose, repetitive, and overly polite filler phrases often generated by AI models—like 'Certainly!' or 'It is worth noting that'—which add no informational value.

Can I preview the changes before they are applied to my files?

Yes, the skill includes a preview mode that allows you to review all proposed removals and pattern matches before any permanent modifications are made.

How does the Cleanup Confidence Assessment work?

It provides a score from 0.0 to 1.0 based on the effectiveness of pattern removal versus the risk of losing meaning, helping you decide if the cleanup was successful.
