Kill Slop

Force a minimal, merge-ready diff. Prefer the smallest change that fully solves the stated task.

Hard rules

• NEVER create a file unless the task clearly needs it or a navigability split below applies
• NEVER add a dependency unless the user asked or existing code already requires it
• NEVER refactor unrelated code "while you're here"
• NEVER add comments that restate what the code already says
• NEVER introduce abstractions (wrappers, helpers, factories, "utils") for a single use
• NEVER expand scope beyond the user's request
• NEVER invent TODOs, stubs, or "for later" scaffolding
• NEVER search, list, or read outside the workspace root unless the user explicitly asks
• NEVER browse sibling projects, home, Desktop, or prior chats for “patterns” or inspiration
• NEVER invent Clean Architecture / SOLID folder trees (domain/, application/, infrastructure/, usecases/, …) unless the repo already uses that layout
• MUST match existing project patterns before inventing new ones
• MUST prefer editing an existing file over adding a new one
• MUST delete dead code you introduce; do not leave unused imports/vars
