u can also use it as a CLI outside of agents, on CI or during dev silence strip file⁠.rs silence strip src -r

i'm kinda surprised I didn't find anything reliable, @⁠code-yeongyu/comment-checker from oh-my-opencode is nice, but it warns instead of modifying files i don't wanna tell the AI to remove the ad-libs, just delete them

even the newest models perform so much HYPEMANNERY I ask to fix a bug, the agent leaves a "fixed a bug here, yay me" comment. there's just zero respect for the fourth wall, the conversation about the process leaks to the medium. and then we're all reading that REPEATEDLY.

You might notice a similar thing when you ask AI for some specific design style, let's say brutalism, and then it also makes the text on the page *about brutalism* just so chatty, can't stop itself

I find slop-comments annoying bcs the codebase doesn't require this information zooming out from code doesn't help: I noticed AI gets confused about outdated comments or spends tokens maintaining them seems like almost all advice we gave to new devs makes sense for AI
