Remove code or features cleanly by finding and collapsing every orphaned production path, fixture-only product behavior, stale variant, archaeological name, document, dependency, and tool. Use for any code cleanup that deletes behavior or structure, scaling from a local residue check to a repository-wide fixed-point pass. Do not use for additive work, formatting-only changes, routine prose corrections, or a general repository-readiness assessment.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Clean repository slop recursively

Turn accumulated implementation residue into deliberate cleanup whose deletions, retained exceptions, and stopping condition remain reviewable. Treat this as product-scope recovery as well as dead-code removal: a well-tested subsystem can still be premature, abandoned, or unreachable from the supported product.

## Scale every code removal

For every code cleanup that removes production behavior or structure, use this skill or explicitly perform its residue pass before completion. Trace the removed concept through producers, consumers, stored state, commands, variants, tests, documentation, generated artifacts, dependencies, and tooling, then recurse through anything newly orphaned.

Scale the pass to the deletion. For one known symbol or a localized refactor, inspect adjacent references and affected surfaces, run targeted checks, and stop when another local pass finds no new residue. For a feature, subsystem, abandoned implementation, or repeatedly revised design, use the production-root inventory and repository-wide fixed-point workflow below.

## Start from current product authority

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add valsteen/pinboard/slop-cleanup@sha256:bbace8e83213fb6f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.3054bce, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
