clean

clean is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. It costs 25 tokens per session (3,305 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A cleanup workflow that identifies stale files, unused code, abandoned sessions, and drift from the active project code. It first studies the main development line, then prepares a cleanup list for confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find dead code, unused exports, orphaned workflow files, stale documents, and inactive branches, either for a selected area or the whole project.
Why use it?
It helps remove project clutter without treating every old file as disposable. A preview and confirmation step make the proposed cleanup easier to review.

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 C, and why

clean scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

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

Workflow Clean Command

Overview

Evidence-based intelligent cleanup command. Systematically identifies stale artifacts through mainline analysis, discovers drift, and safely removes unused sessions, documents, and dead code.

Core workflow: Detect Mainline → Discover Drift → Confirm → Stage → Execute

Target Cleanup

Focus area: $FOCUS (or entire project if not specified) Mode: $ARGUMENTS

  • --dry-run: Preview cleanup without executing
  • --focus: Focus area (module or path)

Execution Process

Phase 0: Initialization
   ├─ Parse arguments (--dry-run, FOCUS)
   ├─ Setup session folder
   └─ Initialize utility functions

Phase 1: Mainline Detection
   ├─ Analyze git history (30 days)
   ├─ Identify core modules (high commit frequency)
   ├─ Map active vs stale branches
   └─ Build mainline profile

Phase 2: Drift Discovery (Subagent)
   ├─ spawn_agent with cli-explore-agent role
   ├─ Scan workflow sessions for orphaned artifacts
   ├─ Identify documents drifted from mainline
   ├─ Detect dead code and unused exports
   └─ Generate cleanup manifest

Phase 3: Confirmation
   ├─ Validate manifest schema
   ├─ Display cleanup summary by category
   ├─ request_user_input: Select categories and risk level
   └─ Dry-run exit if --dry-run

Phase 4: Execution
   ├─ Validate paths (security check)
   ├─ Stage deletion (move to .trash)
   ├─ Update manifests
   ├─ Permanent deletion
   └─ Report results

Implementation

Phase 0: Initialization

Step 0: Determine Project Root

检测项目根目录,确保 .workflow/ 产物位置正确:

PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)

优先通过 git 获取仓库根目录;非 git 项目回退到 pwd 取当前绝对路径。 存储为 {projectRoot},后续所有 .workflow/ 路径必须以此为前缀。

const getUtc8ISOString = () => new Date(Date.now() + 8 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString()

// Parse arguments
const args = "$ARGUMENTS"
const isDryRun = args.includes('--dry-run')
const focusMatch = args.match(/FOCUS="([^"]+)"/)
const focusArea = focusMatch ? focusMatch[1] : "$FOCUS" !== "$" + "FOCUS" ? "$FOCUS" : null

// Session setup
const dateStr = getUtc8ISOString().substring(0, 10)
const sessionId = `clean-${dateStr}`
const sessionFolder = `${projectRoot}/.workflow/.clean/${sessionId}`
const trashFolder = `${sessionFolder}/.trash`
const projectRoot = bash('git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd').trim()

bash(`mkdir -p ${sessionFolder}`)
bash(`mkdir -p ${trashFolder}`)

// Utility functions
function fileExists(p) {
  try { return bash(`test -f "${p}" && echo "yes"`).includes('yes') } catch { return false }
}

function dirExists(p) {
  try { return bash(`test -d "${p}" && echo "yes"`).includes('yes') } catch { return false }
}

function validatePath(targetPath) {
  if (targetPath.includes('..')) return { valid: false, reason: 'Path traversal' }

  const allowed = ['.workflow/', '.claude/rules/tech/', 'src/']
  const dangerous = [/^\//, /^C:\\Windows/i, /node_modules/, /\.git$/]

  if (!allowed.some(p => targetPath.startsWith(p))) {
    return { valid: false, reason: 'Outside allowed directories' }
  }
  if (dangerous.some(p => p.test(targetPath))) {
    return { valid: false, reason: 'Dangerous pattern' }
  }
  return { valid: true }
}

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.

clean is a skill published in the GitHub repository catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow (2,124 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 3,305 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
