SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detect and remove IDE artifact noise (m2e, JDT LS, filteredResources) from existing commits using the commit_edit skill, with mandatory user confirmation.

Core Features & Use Cases

Noise detection and classification for IDE boilerplate injected by tools like Eclipse JDT Language Server (m2e integration) into files such as .project, .classpath, and .settings.
Safety-first removal with explicit user confirmation and granular control to preserve intentional configuration.
Seamless integration with the commit_edit workflow to replay, amend, and verify commits while preserving history integrity.

Quick Start

Use this skill on the target commit and confirm the noise removal to clean IDE boilerplate from history.

FAQPage Schema

How do I remove Eclipse IDE noise from git commits?▼

Remove Eclipse IDE noise from git commits by identifying boilerplate artifacts in files like .project and .classpath, then applying a user-confirmed commit edit to restore noise files to their parent version while preserving functional changes.

What is IDE noise in git history and how does it affect commits?▼

IDE noise in git history is boilerplate injected by tools like Eclipse JDT Language Server and m2e into configuration files. It clutters commits with non-functional changes, obscuring actual code modifications and making history harder to review.

Can I clean m2e and JDT LS artifacts from existing commits without losing functional changes?▼

Yes, you can clean m2e and JDT LS artifacts by replaying the target commit, classifying files as noise or functional, and amending the commit to restore only noise files to their parent version while keeping all functional content intact through post-edit verification.

How to edit a git commit to remove filteredResources and .settings boilerplate?▼

Edit a git commit to remove filteredResources and .settings boilerplate by performing a commit edit that restores noise files to their parent version, then running tree parity checks to verify no functional content changed and all descendants replayed successfully.

Does IDE noise removal require user confirmation before amending commits?▼

Yes, IDE noise removal requires explicit user confirmation before amending commits. This safety-first approach provides granular control to preserve intentional configuration and ensures you review which files are classified as noise versus functional.

What happens if a commit edit fails the tree parity check after noise removal?▼

If a commit edit fails the tree parity check, it indicates functional content may have changed during noise removal. The post-edit verification process catches this by confirming all descendants replayed successfully and no functional content was altered.
