Summary

aislop is an open-source CLI tool (MIT-licensed) that detects low-quality patterns left behind by AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode. It uses 40+ deterministic rules across 7 programming languages (TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Java) to catch issues such as narrative comments, swallowed exceptions, hallucinated imports, dead code, and oversized functions. The tool scores changes from 0–100, runs in sub-second time, and requires no LLM in its runtime path, ensuring consistent, reproducible results.

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.
Sub-second. Deterministic — no LLM in the runtime path, same code in, same score out. MIT-licensed, free CLI.
