Fetched SKILL.md (only file in the dir; pure-prompt, no scripts/deps, no security smells; frontmatter has name+description). Trigger test 5/5: "clean up the AI slop in this codebase", "just generated a feature, remove dead imports/debug logs/useless comments", "do a hygiene pass to strip AI bloat" all load it; "refactor this module to the repository pattern" (skill defers structural work to refactor-cleaner) and "format this file with prettier" correctly do not. Output test: built a 36-line slop-filled orders.ts, cleaned it one-shot as baseline vs strictly following the 7 passes plus the never-clean rules. Both stripped dead imports, console.log, commented-out cache, obvious/divider/end-block comments, the always-true `paid||paid`, and the unreachable return; the skill version additionally preserved the `// TODO: add retry logic here` comment and the try/catch boundary error handling that my baseline deleted, matching its explicit preservation rules.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What AI Slop Cleaner does
Post-implementation code cleanup skill that removes AI-generated bloat (dead imports, debug logs, obvious comments, dead code, one-use helpers, duplication, over-engineering) in seven risk-ordered passes, running the test suite after each pass and reverting any pass that breaks a test. Triggers when a user asks to clean up AI slop, remove code bloat, or do a hygiene pass after code generation.
How to install AI Slop Cleaner
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vibeeval/vibecosystem.git /tmp/ai-slop-cleaner-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/ai-slop-cleaner-src/skills/ai-slop-cleaner ~/.claude/skills/ai-slop-cleaner
# Pure-prompt skill: single SKILL.md, no scripts, no external deps or API keys.
# Assumes a runnable test suite in the target repo; the workflow reverts (git checkout -- .) any pass that breaks a test.
# References a kraken/spark/refactor-cleaner agent ecosystem for auto-triggering, but the manual cleanup workflow is fully self-contained.
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the AI Slop Cleaner skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from vibeeval/vibecosystem. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does AI Slop Cleaner work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 21, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works.

- What is the AI Slop Cleaner SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install AI Slop Cleaner?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use AI Slop Cleaner with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
