rclone_purge

rclone_purge is a command for Claude Code from chaunsin/agent-skills. It costs 9 tokens per session (424 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that deletes a path and everything inside it from a local or remote storage location. It ignores include and exclude filters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to permanently clear a complete rclone path when selective deletion or empty-directory cleanup is not required.
Why use it?
It removes an entire directory tree in one operation, but that also makes it easy to delete data unintentionally. Dry-run and interactive modes help you check before deleting.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rclone_purge scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Official documentation: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_purge/

rclone purge

Remove the path and all of its contents.

Synopsis

Remove the path and all of its contents. Note that this does not obey include/exclude filters - everything will be removed. Use the delete command if you want to selectively delete files. To delete empty directories only, use command rmdir or rmdirs.

The concurrency of this operation is controlled by the --checkers global flag. However, some backends will implement this command directly, in which case --checkers will be ignored.

Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run or the --interactive/-i flag.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
