What it does

Deslop is an agent skill from deadlock-mod-manager/deadlock-mod-manager. Remove AI-generated code slop from a branch diff — unnecessary comments, defensive checks, any-casts, and nested code inconsistent with the surrounding codebase. Use after an AI-assisted implementation, before committing or opening a PR, or when asked to "deslop", "remove slop", or "clean up AI code".

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: A mod manager for the Valve game Deadlock. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text

Example prompts

  • “deslop”
  • “remove slop”
  • “clean up AI code”
  • “/deslop”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 45c273c. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Deslop loads about 547 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 254 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~547

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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
Remove AI-generated code slop from a branch diff — unnecessary comments, defensive checks, any-casts, and nested code inconsistent with the surrounding codebase. Use after an AI-assisted implementation, before committing or opening a PR, or when asked to "deslop", "remove slop", or "clean up AI code".

Deslop

Check the diff against main and strip out the tells of AI-generated code: comments that narrate the obvious, try/catch blocks on trusted paths, any casts used to dodge type errors, and nesting that should be early returns.

The failure mode this exists for: AI-assisted code that passes review because it works, but reads like it was written by someone who doesn't know the codebase.

When to use

  • After an AI-assisted coding session before opening a PR.
  • During review when something in the diff feels foreign to the surrounding style.
  • Any time you see comments explaining what the code does rather than why.

What to look for

  • Redundant comments — anything that restates what the code already says clearly.
  • Defensive over-checking — null guards, try/catch, or fallback values on code paths where the caller guarantees safety.
  • any casts — used to silence type errors rather than fix them.
  • Deep nesting — logic that could be flattened with early returns or guard clauses.
  • Style drift — patterns inconsistent with the file and the files around it.

Guardrails

  • Keep behavior unchanged unless fixing a clear bug.
  • Prefer minimal, focused edits over broad rewrites.
  • Match the local style — don't impose a different convention, remove the deviation from the existing one.
  • Follow 030-coding-style and 040-logging.

Output should feel like

  • The diff shrinks. Lines removed, not added.
  • The remaining code is indistinguishable from code written by whoever owns the file.
  • Summary: 1–3 sentences, no bullet list of every change made.
  • split-react-components — companion cleanup for React file structure.
  • you-might-not-need-an-effect — companion audit for useEffect patterns.
