# Slop-mop skill

Slop-mop (`sm`) is your procedural backbone for development in this repository. It accelerates long-running code generation by keeping the repo clean as you work, and it accelerates slop resolution by giving you a fast, repeatable loop that tells you exactly what to fix next.

## When to use

- **During implementation**: Run `sm swab` after every meaningful code change. Keep running until clean.
- **During inherited remediation**: Run `sm refit --generate-plan`, then `sm refit --continue` until the plan completes.
- **Before PR**: Run `sm scour` for a comprehensive sweep.
- **After CI/review**: Run `sm buff <PR_NUMBER>` to convert feedback into next steps.

## The loop

```
Normal work:  write code → sm swab → fix → repeat → sm scour → sm buff <PR#>
Remediation:  sm refit --generate-plan → fix one gate → sm refit --continue
```

## Tooling preference

- Prefer MCP tools `sm_swab`/`sm_scour`/`sm_buff` if available.
- Otherwise, run CLI commands from the project root.

## Refit discipline

- Use `sm refit` only for remediation-phase repos.
- Treat `sm refit --continue` as the canonical resume command.
- Let `refit` own the structured remediation commits when the rail is active.

## Safety

- Never bypass or silence a failing check — that's how repo rot compounds.
