To remove AI-generated code smells without altering functionality, execute a cleanup pass that strips dead code, over-commenting, and unnecessary abstractions. The workflow enforces test execution after each pass to verify behavior preservation.

Common AI-generated code smells that reduce readability include redundant abstractions, excessive comments, dead code, and unnecessary defensive programming patterns. These slop patterns are targeted for removal during the cleanup process.

Yes, you can clean up AI-assisted code changes across multiple programming languages. The cleanup process applies broadly to any AI-generated codebase, focusing on universal readability and maintainability improvements rather than language-specific syntax.

Yes, AI code cleanup requires running tests after each refactoring pass. This safety-first workflow enforces test execution to prevent regressions and verify that the cleanup preserved the original code's behavior.

The best way to prepare AI-generated PRs for review is to run a one-pass cleanup that removes unnecessary comments, dead code, and redundant abstractions. This produces shipping-grade, readable code while preserving functionality.
