Analyzes your current branch against main and removes common AI-generated artifacts: excessive comments, over-defensive error handling, type-safety workarounds, and style inconsistencies. Use after writing code with AI assistance to clean up and align with your codebase conventions.
- Identifies and removes unnecessary comments that don't match file style
- Removes redundant defensive checks and try/catch blocks in trusted codepaths
- Eliminates type casts and workarounds that bypass type safety
- Detects and fixes style inconsistencies introduced by AI generation

Remove AI code slop
Check the diff against main, and remove all AI generated slop introduced in this branch.
This includes:
- Extra comments that a human wouldn't add or is inconsistent with the rest of the file
- Extra defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for that area of the codebase (especially if called by trusted / validated codepaths)
- Casts to any to get around type issues
- Any other style that is inconsistent with the file
