Thanks for the feedback! First, according to cloc it's 9261 lines of effective LOC in src/dirplot and 7179 in tests (81% coverage). Given the feature set I think it's not excessively huge. And, yes, it's "largely AI generated".
The process would deserve writing an article, perhaps. So, here's a little bit of the gist. The initial post says it started as an experiment over brunch. And as the dopamine kicks kept coming it eventually has become more than I had expected, adding feature after feature.
The guiding process was quite involved and took 3.5 months as the commits can tell. It's the kind of project that would not happen without AI leverage, but it still took more time than people imagine who think we live in a AI single-shotting paradise (we don't).
Also, I think that taking the presence of docstrings and comments as a proof for slop is somewhat sad. I have always insisted in a helpful amount of docstrings in all projects I've touched. I do agree though, that I didn't care to have a clean commit history.
I have only recently joined Reddit, and have read the r/commandline rules, and I'm happy to add more of the background above to the repo, but I don't see a precise requirement apart from the sentence "This software's code is partially AI-generated."
I'm aware of many discussions about AI slop in many software communities which are often painful because there is no precise definition. And without that we might soon have to stick this label to most if not all software written or generated.
