config-gc

config-gc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gongyijie85/dsh-ecc. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,967 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of config-gc, MIT.

A cleanup review for Claude Code configuration. It scans skills, memory, hooks, permissions, MCP servers, and caches for items that are stale, duplicated, unused, or low-value.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or slim down a Claude Code setup, especially after installing a large skill collection or when a periodic review is due. It proposes small batches of cleanup candidates rather than deleting automatically.
Why use it?
Configuration tends to grow as items are added, which can create clutter, noisy hooks, and slower session startup. It identifies possible removals while keeping a person in control of each deletion.

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 B, and why

config-gc scanned grade B 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 10d 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.

Config GC — Garbage Collection for Claude Code Setups

Borrowed from runtime garbage collection: periodically scan for objects that are no longer referenced, redundant, expired, or low-value, and reclaim the space. The critical difference: here, collection requires a human in the loop. Never delete autonomously.

When to Activate

  • The user asks to clean up, audit, or slim down their Claude Code configuration
  • The user complains about too many skills, noisy hooks, or slow session startup
  • A monthly/periodic config review is due
  • After installing a large skill pack (e.g. this repo), to reconcile overlaps with existing setup

Do NOT activate for: cleaning project source code (that's refactoring), clearing chat history, or uninstalling Claude Code itself.

Design Philosophy

  1. Append-only configs leak. Skills, memory files, hooks, and permission entries only ever get added. Without periodic review they rot silently.
  2. Regular audits beat one-time purges. Scan every ~30 days, propose a small batch of candidates each time.
  3. Per-channel strategies. Each accumulation type (skills, hooks, permissions, ...) has its own staleness signals — don't apply one rule everywhere.
  4. Soft-delete first. Rename to .disabled > move to ~/.claude/_gc_trash/ > real deletion. Always keep an undo path.
  5. Forced human-in-the-loop. Every candidate gets its own [y/n/skip] confirmation. No "yes to all" shortcut.
  6. Keep a log. Every GC run appends to ~/.claude/gc_log.md: what was touched, why, and how to undo it.

Scan Channels

# Channel Path Staleness / redundancy signals
1 Skills ~/.claude/skills/*/ Heavily overlapping names; never triggered in recent transcripts; domain mismatch with the user's actual work; broken or empty SKILL.md
2 Memory ~/.claude/**/memory/*.md + its index Multiple index entries for one topic; contents contradicting newer entries; dates that have passed; orphan files missing from the index; sub-100-word fragments that should merge
3 Hooks ~/.claude/hooks/ + settings Scripts present on disk but referenced by no hook config; old versions superseded by rewrites
4 Permissions permissions.allow in settings.json / settings.local.json Duplicate entries; specific entries already covered by a wildcard (e.g. Bash(git push) when Bash(*) is allowed); one-off grants from past experiments
5 MCP servers ~/.claude.json or project .mcp.json Servers that fail to connect; functional duplicates; long-unused
6 Scheduled reminders / jobs wherever the user keeps them Fired one-shots older than 30 days; jobs whose target scripts no longer exist
7 Project history ~/.claude/projects/*/ Stale handoff snapshots; session records superseded by newer state
8 Runtime caches cache/, file-history/, logs/, shell-snapshots/ Sort by size and mtime; propose items >30 days old and large

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.
