# `techne:reslop`

Rewrite docstrings and comments grounded in the actual implementation, call sites, and tests. Produces factual one-or-two-line descriptions instead of marketing prose or signature restatements.

Part of [techne](<https://ajbarea.github.io/techne/plugins/techne/index.md>): `/plugin install techne@techne`, then `/techne:setup`.

## When to use

- A docstring is inaccurate, overhyped, or hallucinates behavior the code doesn't have.
- After a major refactor: regenerate docstrings to match the new implementation.
- "Rewrite the docstrings in my pending changes" / "Replace AI-generated docs with what the code actually does."
- When `/techne:deslop` flags a docstring and the answer is better prose, not deletion.

## Usage

Invoke by name in Claude Code:

```text
/techne:reslop
```

Default scope is the files the user named, or pending-change files. The skill reads each target's implementation, call sites, and tests, then presents old-to-new diffs and asks `apply all / apply selected / skip?` `--apply` skips the prompt.
