macos-storage-management

macos-storage-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AtlasOmnia/hermes-custom-pack. It costs 22 tokens per session (3,351 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of macos-storage-management, MIT.

A safety guide for freeing space on a Mac or moving files to another drive. It explains how macOS storage, cloud-only files, and different filesystems affect what can safely be copied or deleted.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps measure real disk usage, inspect external drives, archive or move folders, verify copies, and safely remove confirmed source files.
Why use it?
It helps avoid deleting files that exist only in the cloud, losing Mac-specific file information, or trusting misleading storage totals.

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

macos-storage-management 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/archive-resident-files.py, scripts/cleanup-inactive-caches.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

macOS Storage Management

Safely reclaim local Mac storage without mistaking cloud placeholders for resident data, losing File Provider content, or flattening metadata onto an incompatible external filesystem.

Trigger

Load this skill when the user asks to free space on a Mac, move Documents/Desktop/Downloads to an external SSD, archive iCloud/File Provider folders, migrate between APFS and ExFAT, or explain conflicting Finder, du, and df storage figures.

Safety Principles

  1. Measure the live Data volume, not only /. On modern macOS, use df -h "$HOME" because /System/Volumes/Data carries user data.
  2. Inspect the destination filesystem before choosing a copy method. ExFAT does not preserve native macOS symlinks, ownership, permissions, extended attributes, resource forks, or every filename semantic.
  3. Treat File Provider folders specially. A logical file can be dataless with zero allocated blocks. Its apparent size is not reclaimable local space until downloaded.
  4. Never delete on a partial copy. Copy/archive, independently verify, re-check source identity/state, then remove only verified source objects.
  5. Do not force cloud hydration onto a critically full disk. If placeholders materially exceed free space, move only resident files or free space elsewhere first.
  6. Report actual reclaimed capacity. Compare df before/after; do not equate logical file size with local blocks released.

Diagnosing an oversized “System Data” category

Treat the Storage Settings number as a classification clue, not a filesystem path. Before recommending cleanup:

  1. Compare the sealed System volume with the writable Data volume using diskutil apfs list and df -h "$HOME".
  2. Check both Time Machine and APFS snapshots; do not assume snapshots are responsible.
  3. Rank $HOME, ~/Library, /private/var, /Library, and hidden application roots with allocated-block measurements.
  4. Drill into app containers, group containers, caches, developer runtimes, cloud storage, and /private/var/folders.
  5. Inspect large files stored directly at a root such as ~/.hermes; directory-only rankings can hide backup multiplication.
  6. Separate rebuildable caches/temp data from app-managed stores and live databases before proposing deletion.

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.
