Show HN: AISlop, a CLI for catching AI generated code smells
TL;DR
Hi, I’m Kenny, I’ve been building aislop. I starting working on this after using Claude Code, codex and opencode several times and noticing some slops. They aren’t syntax and passes most tests, they are patterns like empty catch blocks, useless comments, duplicated helpers, dead code and many more. So I built a tool to scan and check for these patterns and wired it into hooks so after each tool call, the agent checks for the slops.
Nauti's Take
Useful: AISlop tackles a real problem, since AI code often passes tests but drags along empty catch blocks, dead code and duplicated helpers. Running locally and hooking into the agent after each call is a practical plus.
The catch: a linter is no substitute for real review, and pattern matching can throw false positives. Nauti's view: a sensible add-on for anyone working with coding agents, but not a free pass.
