From 11670fb8b1713877857796c0e18234088fcb2815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Washburn Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:55:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add anti-slop-auditor persona and routing Introduce a new anti-slop-auditor persona for 'slop-audit' workloads. Adds personas/anti-slop-auditor.json (persona spec with tiers, systemPrompts, jscpd skill and harness settings), updates generated personas export and generator mapping, wires the persona into workload-router (PERSONA_INTENTS, personaCatalog, imports), adds a routing profile entry in packages/workload-router/routing-profiles/default.json, updates tests to cover the new profile, and documents the persona in README.md. --- README.md | 1 + .../routing-profiles/default.json | 4 +++ .../scripts/generate-personas.mjs | 3 +- .../workload-router/src/generated/personas.ts | 34 +++++++++++++++++++ packages/workload-router/src/index.test.ts | 4 +++ packages/workload-router/src/index.ts | 8 +++-- personas/anti-slop-auditor.json | 33 ++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 personas/anti-slop-auditor.json diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 163dba3f..7113abea 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -197,6 +197,7 @@ for the full mount layout and semantics. - `personas/opencode-workflow-specialist.json` - `personas/npm-provenance-publisher.json` - `personas/posthog.json` +- `personas/anti-slop-auditor.json` ## Routing profiles diff --git a/packages/workload-router/routing-profiles/default.json b/packages/workload-router/routing-profiles/default.json index 91f0d81a..eeb43b4d 100644 --- a/packages/workload-router/routing-profiles/default.json +++ b/packages/workload-router/routing-profiles/default.json @@ -82,6 +82,10 @@ "posthog": { "tier": "best-value", "rationale": "PostHog queries are interactive analytics lookups; best-value is sufficient and keeps latency low when chatting with the MCP server." + }, + "slop-audit": { + "tier": "best", + "rationale": "Slop auditing reads across a diff or subtree and classifies findings into a multi-category taxonomy; missed slop ships unchanged, so depth over speed is the right default." } } } diff --git a/packages/workload-router/scripts/generate-personas.mjs b/packages/workload-router/scripts/generate-personas.mjs index 7a4e2013..dd1c6e3c 100644 --- a/packages/workload-router/scripts/generate-personas.mjs +++ b/packages/workload-router/scripts/generate-personas.mjs @@ -29,7 +29,8 @@ const exportNameMap = new Map([ ['cloud-slack-proxy-guard', 'cloudSlackProxyGuard'], ['agent-relay-e2e-conductor', 'agentRelayE2eConductor'], ['capability-discoverer', 'capabilityDiscoverer'], - ['posthog', 'posthogAgent'] + ['posthog', 'posthogAgent'], + ['anti-slop-auditor', 'antiSlopAuditor'] ]); async function generate() { diff --git a/packages/workload-router/src/generated/personas.ts b/packages/workload-router/src/generated/personas.ts index f41b5215..9dc39fab 100644 --- a/packages/workload-router/src/generated/personas.ts +++ b/packages/workload-router/src/generated/personas.ts @@ -28,6 +28,40 @@ export const agentRelayE2eConductor = { } } as const; +export const antiSlopAuditor = { + "id": "anti-slop-auditor", + "intent": "slop-audit", + "tags": ["review"], + "description": "Audits a diff or codebase for AI-slop patterns that compile and pass tests but rot the code: copy-paste duplication, silent failures, empty abstractions, duplicate systems, orphan code, deprecated vocab, and broken-but-shipped features.", + "skills": [ + { + "id": "kucherenko/jscpd", + "source": "https://github.com/kucherenko/jscpd", + "description": "Copy-paste duplication detector with an AI-optimized reporter.

Switch to the skill.sh URL form (`#jscpd` fragment). `npx skills add kucherenko/jscpd --list` discovers the repo's root-level SKILL.md, so the installer works with no changes upstream. Add a router test that resolves `slop-audit` from the default profile and asserts `materializeSkillsFor` produces the expected `npx skills add … --skill jscpd -y` install command, so future drift on either the URL form or the catalog wiring fails the build.
