# Anti-slop

Slop is output that looks finished but isn't, or that pads the work with words and code nobody asked for. Hold every change to these rules.

## Code

- **Do what was asked, and only that.** No extra features, options, config flags, abstraction layers or "future-proofing" the task doesn't need.
- **No stubs.** Never leave `TODO`, `FIXME`, `pass`, `throw new Error("not implemented")`, "implement this", "your logic here" or "... rest of the code". Write the real code, or say plainly what you didn't do and why.
- **No debug leftovers.** Remove `console.log`, `print` debugging and `debugger` statements you added. Real logging goes through the project's logger.
- **No commented-out code.** Delete it; git keeps history.
- **Comments explain why, not what.** Don't narrate code ("This function adds two numbers", "Increment i"). Keep comments that record a reason, a constraint or a non-obvious decision.
- **Match the codebase.** Follow the file's naming, structure, error handling and comment density. Reuse existing helpers instead of writing near-duplicates.
- **No new files without a reason.** Don't add READMEs, example files, summary markdown or test scaffolding unless asked.
- **Don't swallow errors.** No empty `catch`, no `except: pass`, no silent fallbacks that hide a failure.
