Why This Matters

AISlop is a command-line tool designed to identify and fix common code issues introduced by AI coding agents across multiple programming languages. Its fast, deterministic scans help maintain code quality and prevent rot, making it valuable for developers and teams seeking to improve AI-generated code reliability.

Key Takeaways

aislop

Catch the slop AI coding agents leave in your code.

The patterns Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode leave behind: narrative comments above self-explanatory code, swallowed exceptions, as any casts, hallucinated imports, duplicated helpers, dead code, todo stubs, oversized functions. Tests pass. Lint passes. The code rots anyway.

aislop catches them. 40+ rules across 7 languages (TS/JS, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Java). Scores every change 0–100. Sub-second. Deterministic — no LLM in the runtime path, same code in, same score out. MIT-licensed, free CLI.

Quick start
