What it does

Deslop is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Diff-scoped AI-slop cleanup pass: strip comment slop, defensive-check slop, type-laundering, and style drift from the current branch diff before autoreview.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 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: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text

Example prompts

  • “/deslop”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Scope the pass to git diff against origin/main, or the branch merge base when it differs. Never run a repo-wide cleanup.
  2. Inspect every changed hunk for
  3. Make no functional edits. If cleanup could change behavior, leave it alone and report it instead.
  4. Fix a finding inline only when the cleanup is trivial and behavior-neutral. Otherwise note it for the author.
  5. Report the result in 1–3 sentences, including whether anything changed and any non-trivial item left for review.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1eb5970. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 425 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~425

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.

Deslop

Clean only the current branch diff before review. Preserve behavior absolutely.

Checklist

  1. Scope the pass to git diff against origin/main, or the branch merge base when it differs. Never run a repo-wide cleanup.
  2. Inspect every changed hunk for:
    • comments a human maintainer would not write, including narration, syntax explanation, and prose that merely restates the code;
    • defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for the surrounding module or protect only imagined states;
    • casts that launder types, especially as any, as unknown as T, and widen-then-assert flows. Oxlint already rejects the latter two patterns in governed code;
    • redundant intermediate variables or one-use helpers that do not add domain meaning, reduce duplication, or simplify control flow;
    • compatibility shims, aliases, retries, and fallback branches without a named shipped contract and removal plan;
    • naming, control flow, imports, formatting, and other style that conflicts with the surrounding file.
  3. Make no functional edits. If cleanup could change behavior, leave it alone and report it instead.
  4. Fix a finding inline only when the cleanup is trivial and behavior-neutral. Otherwise note it for the author.
  5. Report the result in 1–3 sentences, including whether anything changed and any non-trivial item left for review.

Run $deslop before $autoreview, never instead of it. Autoreview remains the required correctness and safety review gate.
