Clean AI-generated code slop with regression-safe workflow. An agent skill from zereight/gitlab-mcp.

  • Works in 6 steps: Identify target files/scope → Run existing tests (baseline) → Apply deletions first (dead code, unused… → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

AI Slop Cleaner is an agent skill from zereight/gitlab-mcp. Clean AI-generated code slop with regression-safe workflow. Activate when user says: deslop, anti-slop, AI slop, cleanup slop, clean up this code, remove bloat.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 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: First gitlab mcp for you, building together. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Clean up this code
  • Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text

Example prompts

  • “/ai-slop-cleaner”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify target files/scope
  2. Run existing tests (baseline)
  3. Apply deletions first (dead code, unused imports)
  4. Simplify remaining code (reduce nesting, merge duplicates)
  5. Re-run tests after each change
  6. Report what was cleaned and verification results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c3e4da. 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

AI Slop Cleaner loads about 361 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~361

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.

AI Slop Cleaner

Clean AI-generated code slop without changing behavior. Deletion-first workflow with regression safety.

When to Use

  • Code that works but feels bloated, repetitive, or over-abstracted
  • Duplicate logic, dead code, wrapper layers, boundary leaks
  • --review for reviewer-only mode (no changes, just findings)

When NOT to Use

  • New feature build or product change
  • Broad redesign
  • Behavior is unclear and untestable

Principles

  • Preserve behavior unless explicitly asked for changes
  • Delete before refactoring — removal is safest
  • Scope-bounded: only clean what was specified
  • Regression-safe: verify tests pass after every change

Slop Signals

  • Unnecessary wrapper functions
  • Duplicated logic across files
  • Over-abstracted single-use helpers
  • Dead code / unreachable branches
  • Excessive comments restating obvious code
  • Premature abstractions (used only once)

Workflow

  1. Identify target files/scope
  2. Run existing tests (baseline)
  3. Apply deletions first (dead code, unused imports)
  4. Simplify remaining code (reduce nesting, merge duplicates)
  5. Re-run tests after each change
  6. Report what was cleaned and verification results
