Codex Code Cleanup: AGENTS.md Rules and a Quality Gate for OpenAI Codex
Clean up code written by OpenAI Codex: what it leaves behind, AGENTS.md rules that prevent it, and a scan-fix-handoff loop that sends findings back to Codex.

Stop Claude Code adding narrative comments: a CLAUDE.md rule that sets the bar, a PostToolUse hook that checks every edit, and a gate that blocks the turn if quality drops.

Deterministic AI code review for AI generated code: a repeatable automated code review gate, plus how to pair it with LLM review without duplicate comments.
Read more →AI Slop in Pull Requests: Catch It Before Review
AI slop in pull requests is residue in AI generated code that still looks mergeable. Scan the diff, fail CI on a code quality score, then review intent.
Read more →Why Linters Miss AI Slop in AI Generated Code
ESLint, Ruff, and Sonar catch bugs they were built for. AI slop in AI generated code is often residue that still compiles. Why a code quality gate still has a gap.
Read more →AI Generated Code Quality: How to Check and Scan It Before Merge
AI generated code quality, step by step: how to check code quality, scan AI generated code locally and in CI, and keep human review for intent.

AI-generated debt is cheapest while the pull request is still open. Use this evidence-based workflow to detect unnecessary code, weak tests, unsafe shortcuts, and ownership gaps before they become maintenance work.
