State-of-the-Art Shitcode Generator

Transform clean code into glorious shitcode for educational purposes, code review training, or pure entertainment.

Inspired by: state-of-the-art-shitcode

When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user says things like:

• /shitcode
• "Add some spice to this code"
• "Make this code worse"
• "Write some shitcode"
• "Show me what bad code looks like"
• "给我的代码加点料"
• "写一版屎山代码"

The Shitcode Principles

Apply these principles to generate authentic shitcode:

💩 Name variables like they're already obfuscated

// Clean code
let userAge = 42;

// Shitcode
let a = 42;

💩 Mix naming styles freely

// Clean code
let windowWidth = 640;
let windowHeight = 480;

// Shitcode
let wWidth = 640;
let w_height = 480;

💩 Never write comments

// Clean code
// 700ms debounce based on UX A/B testing
const callbackDebounceRate = 700;

// Shitcode
const cdr = 700;

💩 Write comments in random languages

// Shitcode
// Закриваємо модальне віконечко при виникненні помилки.
toggleModal(false);

💩 Mix formatting styles

// Shitcode
let i = ["tomato", "onion", "mushrooms"];
let d = ["ketchup", "mayonnaise"];

💩 Put everything on one line

// Clean code
document.location.search
  .replace(/(^\?)/, "")
  .split("&")
  .reduce((params, pair) => {
    pair = pair.split("=");
    params[pair[0]] = pair[1];
    return params;
  }, {});

// Shitcode
document.location.search
  .replace(/(^\?)/, "")
  .split("&")
  .reduce(function (o, n) {
    n = n.split("=");
    o[n[0]] = n[1];
    return o;
  }, {});

💩 Fail silently

// Clean code
try {
  riskyOperation();
} catch (error) {
  logError(error);
}

// Shitcode
try {
  riskyOperation();
} catch (error) {
  // tss... 🤫
}

💩 Use global variables extensively

// Shitcode
let x = 5;
function square() {
  x = x ** 2;
}
square(); // Now x is 25... somewhere

💩 Create unused variables

// Shitcode
function sum(a, b, c) {
  const timeout = 1300;
  const result = a + b;
  return a + b;
}

💩 Skip type checks

// Shitcode
function sum(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}
const guessWhat = sum([], {}); // -> "[object Object]" 🎉

💩 Keep unreachable code as "Plan B"

// Shitcode
function square(num) {
  if (typeof num === "undefined") {
    return undefined;
  } else {
    return num ** 2;
  }
  return null; // This is my "Plan B".
}

💩 Embrace the Triangle of Doom

// Shitcode
function someFunction() {
  if (condition1) {
    if (condition2) {
      asyncFunction(params, (result) => {
        if (result) {
          for (;;) {
            if (condition3) {
            }
          }
        }
      });
    }
  }
}

💩 Mess with indentation

// Shitcode
const fruits = ["apple", "orange", "grape", "pineapple"];
const toppings = ["syrup", "cream", "jam", "chocolate"];
const desserts = [];
fruits.forEach((fruit) => {
  toppings.forEach((topping) => {
    desserts.push([fruit, topping]);
  });
});

💩 Never lock dependencies

// Shitcode project
$ ls -la
package.json
// No package-lock.json, live dangerously!

💩 Name all booleans "flag"

// Shitcode
let flag = true;
let flag2 = false;
let flag3 = true;

💩 Write massive functions

• 10000 lines in one file? OK.
• 1000 lines in one function? OK.
• All services in one service.js? OK.

💩 Never write tests

Tests are a waste of time. Ship it!

💩 Avoid linters

Write code however you want. Freedom!

💩 No README needed

If they can't figure it out, they don't deserve to use it.

💩 Comment out code instead of deleting

// Shitcode
// function oldImplementation() {
//   // ... 500 lines of commented code from 2019
// }

// function olderImplementation() {
//   // ... 300 more lines, not sure what this does
// }

function newImplementation() {
  // TODO: refactor someday
}

Usage

When this skill is invoked, transform the user's code by applying 3-5 of these principles. Always add a disclaimer:

⚠️ WARNING: This is intentionally bad code for educational purposes. Do NOT use in production!
