Anti-slop

Keep agents from shipping stubs, debug leftovers and AI-sounding prose, in ADE and in any Claude Code session.

Open it with Anti-slop: Check changes and the ADE plugin in the command palette, or the Anti-slop tab in ⌘⇧I .

The ADE plugin for Claude Code

Install adds the plugin with Claude Code’s own plugin manager, in a new tab. It ships with ADE, and once installed it works in every Claude Code session, inside ADE or not. It adds about 1,000 tokens to each session.

Part What it does
anti-slop skill Rules Claude follows when it writes code or docs: no stubs or TODOs in place of real code, no debug output or commented-out code left behind, comments that explain why rather than narrate, no unrequested files, and plain writing without AI-tell words.
Slop check Before Claude finishes, a hook reads the lines it added in the repository and sends any findings back once, so Claude fixes them or says why they’re intended. Set ADE_SLOP_CHECK=0 to turn it off.
/ade:deslop Rewrites a file or pasted text so it doesn’t read as AI-generated, keeping every fact.
Web3 sub-agents Solidity engineer, auditor, gas optimizer and Solana engineer, which Claude can delegate to.
/ade:arch-… The architects from the agent picker (DeFi, tokenomics, RAG, AI agents and more) as skills you start yourself.

To install it by hand:

claude plugin marketplace add "<ADE's claude-plugin folder>"
claude plugin install ade@ade --scope user

Update pulls the plugin that ships with your current ADE version.

Check a project’s changes

Check reads the lines added since the last commit, including new files, and lists likely slop by file and line:

  • TODO, FIXME and placeholder code (“implement this”, “your code here”)
  • console.log and debugger left in
  • Commented-out code
  • Comments that narrate the code (“This function is used to…”)
  • AI-sounding wording and emoji headings in Markdown

Ask the agent to fix types a request into the active terminal for you to check and send. The rules are the same ones the plugin’s hook uses, so ADE and Claude Code agree. Some findings will be intended, like a TODO you asked for.

In the scratchpad

  • Tips appear under a draft that’s vague (“make it better”), doesn’t name what to work on, has no way to tell when it’s done, or packs several tasks together. Hide them for the current draft with ✕.
  • De-slop swaps AI-sounding words for plain ones and drops filler phrases in your draft, like “in today’s fast-paced world” or “it’s worth noting that”. Undo de-slop puts it back. For a full rewrite, ask the agent to run /ade:deslop.
