In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or preview cleanup decisions, move finished material into the documentation structure, preserve old drafts, and remove disposable files.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 265
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

workspace-prune-working 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 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.

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.

Workspace Prune Working

Clean up the .aiwg/working/ directory by intelligently handling temporary files. Promotes valuable content to the main documentation structure, archives content worth preserving, and deletes truly temporary files.

Parameters

Flag Description
project-directory Project root (default: .)
--promote-all Promote all promotable files without prompting
--archive-all Archive all archivable files without prompting
--delete-all Delete all deletable files without prompting
--dry-run Preview changes without modifying files
--interactive Prompt for each file decision
--force Skip confirmation prompts

Purpose of .aiwg/working/

The .aiwg/working/ directory is designated for:

  • Multi-agent work-in-progress drafts
  • Temporary scratch files during orchestration
  • Review feedback before synthesis
  • Iterative document versions

It is NOT a permanent storage location. Files here should eventually be:

  • Promoted → Moved to appropriate .aiwg/ subdirectory as finalized docs
  • Archived → Preserved in .aiwg/archive/ for historical reference
  • Deleted → Removed when no longer useful

Execution Steps

Step 1: Scan Working Directory

Inventory all files in .aiwg/working/:

# List all files with metadata
find .aiwg/working -type f -exec stat -c '%Y %s %n' {} \; | sort -rn

# Count by subdirectory
find .aiwg/working -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read dir; do
  echo "$(basename "$dir"): $(find "$dir" -type f | wc -l) files"
done

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.
