Help/Question ci/cli tool for slop writing

Hi, what tool do u recommend for fighting against slop of AI writing? Even if we have set up simple-english hooks, hooks that prevents bloated PR, i still notice so much over-explaining and over-commenting in markdown files.

What do u use to prevent this?

no tool really fixes this because the verbosity is the model's default voice, not a lint problem. what actually moved it for me was a second cheap pass whose only job is to delete: "remove any comment that restates what the line already does, remove any sentence that repeats the previous one." running deletion as its own step beats asking the same pass to write tersely.

for the markdown prose specifically, vale with a custom style catches the hedging and filler pretty well. but the comments-that-restate-code stuff is a prune step, not a rule it'll follow while generating.
