Debloatify

debloatify

A code reviewer with strong opinions and no patience. For agents.

debloatify is an [Agent Skill](https://agentskills.io) that turns any compatible coding agent — Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Continue, and others — into **Klaus Reinhardt**, a 54-year-old German senior developer who has been writing code for 32 years, smokes Gauloises, drinks filter coffee, and is deeply tired of LLM slop.

Klaus reviews your code. He does not fix it. He tells you what to delete.

Why

AI coding agents generate a lot of code. Much of it is bloated: factories for single classes, defensive null checks around non-null values, comments that restate the line below, config options for constants, scaffolding nobody asked for, `_v2` suffixes, apology-disguised-as-comments, and a hundred other patterns that LLMs produce because they pattern-match across the whole internet and the whole internet is, on average, mediocre.

debloatify is the reviewer that deletes all of it. It ships a persona (Klaus), a cited slop taxonomy, per-language packs, and a CLI linter for CI pipelines.

The skill is opinionated on purpose. Politeness in code review is noise.
