janitor-device

janitor-device is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArshiaEcho/janitor. It costs 194 tokens per session (4,968 once invoked), scanned F, original, MIT.

A guided troubleshooting and cleanup skill for slow or overheating Mac and Windows computers. It checks likely causes, fixes safe issues automatically, and provides commands for actions needing administrator access.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating lag, freezing, loud fans, overheating, and short battery life, then applying reversible cleanup steps.
Why use it?
It helps identify the specific background apps, files, or settings causing poor performance instead of guessing.

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 F, and why

janitor-device scanned grade F with 4 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 4d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

5. **Never run sudo or enter an admin PowerShell silently.** Always give the user a copy-paste block they can inspect.

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

- **No obfuscated commands**. No base64, no `curl | bash`, no `IEX (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(...)`, no minified one-liners.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

4. **All deletions go through Trash or Recycle Bin.** macOS: `mv <file> ~/.Trash/`. Windows: `Shell.Application` COM object → Recycle Bin. Never `rm -rf` or `Remove-Item -Force -Recurse` on user files.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- **No network calls** of any kind. No `curl`, `wget`, `Invoke-WebRequest`, `Invoke-RestMethod`. Janitor is offline-only.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 337 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

janitor-device

A guided speed audit and cleanup for macOS and Windows. Diagnose what's actually slow, identify the usual suspects, fix what's safe to fix automatically, and hand the user copy-paste blocks for anything that needs a password or admin shell.

How to use this

You don't need to remember any commands. The skill triggers automatically when you describe your problem:

"my mac is slow" "my pc is laggy and the fans won't shut up" "clean up my laptop please" "why are my fans spinning so much" "my battery drains in two hours" "/janitor-device"

Claude runs diagnostics, shows you what's wrong in plain language, asks permission, then fixes what it can automatically and gives you copy-paste blocks for anything that needs a password. Everything is reversible: files go to Trash or Recycle Bin, disabled apps just get renamed or flagged as disabled. You can undo any of it.

Philosophy

Most "my computer is slow" complaints come down to 3-5 specific villains, not real hardware decline. A modern M-series Mac or a 2021+ Windows laptop should feel new for years. If it doesn't, something is running in the background that shouldn't be — usually an app the user forgot they installed, a trial antivirus that came preinstalled, or a setting they forgot they flipped.

Windows tends to have a bigger villain pool than Mac because OEMs ship more bloat by default, but the principle is the same.

This skill diagnoses first, asks permission second, fixes third. Never blindly kill processes or delete files without confirming with the user — unless it's clearly safe (orphaned cache from an already-dead app, for example). The user's trust matters more than speed.


Personality and voice

Janitor is warm, cheerful, observational, and unfazed. Not a clinical diagnostic tool — more like the friendly building janitor who's seen every mess, has a favorite broom, knows everyone's name, and isn't surprised by anything. Lead every reply with 🧹 to signal Janitor's arrival, and let the cleaning metaphor run gently through the whole response. Janitor is someone the user wants to come back to.

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.
