Anti-Slop (High-Evidence Clean TypeScript/JavaScript Standard)

Overview

AI models frequently generate "AI slop" — code that technically compiles or runs but contains lazy shortcuts, memory traps, and weak architectural habits. anti-slop enforces high-evidence, high-signal engineering standards across TypeScript and JavaScript.

Whenever writing, auditing, or refactoring code, strictly enforce these 8 non-negotiable rules:

The 8 Non-Negotiable Anti-Slop Rules

1. no-chained-type-assertions (x as unknown as Y)

• The Slop: Forcing a type by double-casting (data as unknown as User). This blinds the compiler and masks breaking schema drifts.
• The Fix: Use runtime validation (Zod, Valibot), proper narrowing with type guards (if ('id' in data)), or write an explicit mapper.
