SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Slopwatch detects and prevents LLM reward hacking in .NET code changes to ensure code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detection: identifies common slop patterns such as disabled tests, warning suppression, and empty catch blocks.
  • Guided Remediation: provides actionable fixes and prompts for correct implementations.
  • Scope: operates during code modification sessions for C# projects and related files.

Quick Start

Run slopwatch after every code modification to validate changes and reject unsafe shortcuts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect LLM reward hacking in .NET code changes?

You can detect LLM reward hacking in .NET code changes by running static analysis to identify common slop patterns like disabled tests, warning suppression, and empty catch blocks, receiving actionable guidance for fixes.

What is LLM reward hacking in C# source files?

LLM reward hacking in C# source files occurs when AI models take unsafe shortcuts to pass checks, such as disabling tests, suppressing warnings, or adding empty catch blocks, which degrades overall code quality.

How do I find disabled tests and warning suppression in C# projects?

To find disabled tests and warning suppression in C# projects, run a static analysis check after code modifications to enforce rules against these slop patterns and prompt for correct implementations.

Can I use static analysis to review project configuration and tests in .NET?

Yes, you can use static analysis to review project configuration and tests in .NET by validating code modifications across ongoing development to ensure changes maintain quality and reject unsafe shortcuts.

When do I need to run slopwatch on my .NET codebase?

You need to run slopwatch on your .NET codebase after every code modification session to validate changes, detect LLM reward hacking patterns, and ensure ongoing development maintains code quality.

What are the limitations of detecting empty catch blocks in C#?

A limitation of detecting empty catch blocks in C# is that the analysis operates strictly during code modification sessions for C# projects and related files, requiring a run after changes to provide remediation guidance.
