De Sloppify

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Technical debt
• Tasks that involve Code simplification

Example prompts

• “clean up”
• “de-sloppify”
• “tidy up”
• “/de-sloppify”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Verify after each step — dotnet build + dotnet test between steps. A
2. 2Commit per step — each step is its own commit, so a bad Step 4 reverts
3. 3Safe removals only — before deleting "dead" code, check for reflection,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2330089. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • dotnet

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

De Sloppify loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~125

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~2.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Systematic code cleanup pipeline for .NET projects. Runs 7 ordered steps: formatting, unused usings, analyzer warnings, dead code removal, TODO resolution, sealed class audit, and CancellationToken propagation. Each step is verified independently with tests between phases. Load this skill when: "clean up", "de-sloppify", "tidy up", "remove dead code", "code cleanup", "housekeeping", "tech debt", "fix warnings", "seal classes", "add CancellationToken", "unused usings", "format code".

## De-Sloppify Report

| Step | Changes | Files Affected |
|------|---------|----------------|
| 1. Format | Applied consistent formatting | 23 files |
| 2. Usings | Removed 47 unused usings | 18 files |
| 3. Analyzers | Fixed 12 warnings (8 nullability, 3 unused vars, 1 obsolete) | 9 files |
| 4. Dead Code | Removed 3 unused types, 5 unused methods | 6 files |
| 5. TODOs | Fixed 2, created issues for 3, removed 1 stale | 5 files |
| 6. Sealed | Sealed 14 classes | 14 files |
| 7. CancellationToken | Added propagation to 8 async chains | 11 files |

Claude: Running the 7-step pipeline...

Step 1: dotnet format — 23 files reformatted. Build + tests green. Committed.
Step 2: IDE0005 — 47 unused usings removed across 18 files. Green. Committed.
Step 3: 12 warnings triaged: 8 nullability fixed with null checks,
  3 unused vars removed, 1 CS0618 migrated off the obsolete API. Committed.
Step 4: find_dead_code → 9 candidates. Safety check: PaymentProcessor is
  registered via DI convention — kept. Removed 3 types, 5 methods. Committed.
Step 5: 6 TODOs → 2 fixed, 3 became issues (#141-#143), 1 stale removed. Committed.
Step 6: 14 classes sealed (2 skipped: xUnit fixture base, virtual members). Committed.
Step 7: 8 async chains now propagate ct end-to-end. Committed.

7 commits, 86 files improved. Full report above.
