deslop
Review a changed diff for accidental complexity or generated-code noise. Use when requested or when the diff shows those symptoms; an equivalent review of unchanged inputs need not repeat.
Why this skill is useful
Codifies a specific procedure for cleaning up AI-generated code slop, which the AI could infer but now has a clear standard to follow.

What this skill does
Review the Changed Diff Use the task's actual diff, including relevant working changes. Preserve unrelated edits and project compatibility requirements. Remove accidental noise introduced by this task: redundant comments, unjustified casts/suppressions, defensive branches on trusted data, duplicated helpers, and unnecessary nesting. Keep boundary validation, error handling, and required migration/deprecation adapters. Review once before final verification. A review already performed on the same diff satisfies this step; revisit only subsequent relevant edits. Avoid cleanup outside the requested scope. Report substantive changes briefly.
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
