Edits code so its comments earn their keep: deletes zero-information comments, renames or restructures so explanatory ones can go, keeps terse load-bearing ones; 'safe', 'aggressive' and 'strip' modes, and an edit-free 'report'. Use when asked to 'remove comments' or 'dissolve comments', when code has too many or agent-written comments, or to make code self-documenting. Read-only residue flagging is /code-tidying:audit-comment-residue.

Installing & verifying

Installing Dissolve Comments writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/dissolve-comments/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — dissolve-comments should appear by name.
