Manual start

↓

1

Scan for slop

Review recent changes for debug logs, commented code, TODO hacks, oversized functions, and inconsistent naming.
2

Clean up

Apply minimal fixes: delete dead code, extract helpers, align types, and match surrounding style.
3

Verify

Run lint and tests to ensure cleanup did not break behavior.

> npm run lint && npm test

↓

✓

Exit condition: lint_clean

No slop remains and lint/tests still pass

> npm run lint && npm test

Run "De-Sloppify Pass" in your agent

Prompt only

Deeplinks and "Open in Cursor" only paste the kickoff prompt. They do not install hook files — your agent cannot tell whether files are on disk until you add them yourself.

Two separate pieces

Kickoff prompt — tells the agent the goal, check command, exit condition, and how to self-pace.

Kickoff prompt

Start the "De-Sloppify Pass" loop.

Goal: recent changes are clean, minimal, and convention-aligned
Max iterations: 4
Between iterations run: npm run lint && npm test
Exit when: review finds no slop and checks pass

Step 1: Review the diff for debug code, dead branches, and naming issues. Fix them with minimal diffs.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run the check command, read the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met. Stop when the exit condition passes or max iterations is reached. Give a short status update each pass.

Anti-gaming rules

Rules the agent must follow so it cannot cheat the exit condition.

Do not modify the check command or exit criteria to force success
Do not skip, disable, or bypass checks to pass the exit condition
If stuck after several iterations, stop and report blockers instead of gaming metrics
