# Deslop

Reduce the work of reading, maintaining and safely changing what is in front of you, without losing what it guarantees. Lines, sentences, files, wrappers, dependencies and tests have no target count, and a pass that changes nothing is a valid result.

## Bound the scope

The subject is what the request already names: this draft, this document, this diff, the code just touched and the callers it reaches. A repository-wide sweep is separate work with its own request. Ordinary drafting and ordinary implementation include checking what you touch; neither authorizes unrelated cleanup, and neither reopens a decision the caller already made.

Name the mode in one line before the first change, and take the narrowest mode the request supports:

| Mode | You return | Done when |
|---|---|---|
| Draft or implement | The artifact | The requested scope is covered and its own checks pass |
| Cleanup | The edited artifact and what changed | Every change names a benefit, and every protected invariant still holds |
