remove-cruft

remove-cruft is a command for Claude Code from mindroom-ai/mindroom. It costs 0 tokens per session (243 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for simplifying a code change by removing unused code, deprecated compatibility paths, unnecessary checks, and other clutter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on a task or pull request after checking its scope, then run the relevant tests and project-wide pre-commit checks.
Why use it?
It keeps the work focused and the code easier to understand, while retaining validation where data is stored or crosses an external boundary.

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

remove-cruft 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 6d 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

Anti-Cruft Checklist

Scope Guardrails

  • Establish task or PR scope first, verify the intended base ref, then inspect both its diff and git status --short so untracked files are not missed.

CRITICAL Principles

  1. Delete backward-compat paths and deprecated shims.
  2. Favor simple functions/dataclasses; avoid factories and class hierarchies.
  3. No over-engineering or “just in case” branches.
  4. Remove redundant defensive checks and unnecessary try/except blocks; retain validation at trust, persistence, and external-I/O boundaries.
  5. Keep imports at top unless avoiding a circular import or deferring a heavy optional dependency; use an explicit function-local import with # noqa: PLC0415 when required.
  6. Delete unused code; replace duck typing with explicit types when needed.

Execution

  1. Confirm file is in scope.
  2. Apply targeted deletions/simplifications.
  3. Run relevant tests through uv run --all-extras pytest ... or the matching just recipe.
  4. Run uv run pre-commit run --all-files; for Python cruft, ensure the configured vulture hook runs.

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.
