disk-explorer is a skill for Claude Code from MSApps-Mobile/claude-plugins. It costs 0 tokens per session (814 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Mac disk-usage investigation workflow that finds which folders and files take up the most space. It reports the results and suggests actions the user can consider.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect overall free space, compare large home-directory folders, find unusually large files, and decide what may be safe to remove.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork about a full drive with a prioritized view of where storage is being used before anything is deleted.

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

disk-explorer 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 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.

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.

Disk Explorer

Explore what's taking up space on the Mac and give the user actionable recommendations.

Use this skill when the user asks things like: "what's taking up space?", "where is my disk space going?", "show me large files", "what can I delete?", "why is my Mac full?", "explore my disk", "מה תופס מקום?", "מה אפשר למחוק?", "qu'est-ce qui prend de la place?", "¿qué ocupa espacio?", or any question about understanding disk usage without necessarily cleaning yet.


How to run this skill

Run the commands below, analyze the output, and respond in the user's language with clear, prioritized recommendations.

Environment note: This skill works in both Claude Code (native Bash tool) and Cowork (Desktop Commander). Use whichever shell execution method is available in your environment to run the bash commands below.


Step 1 — Overall disk usage

df -h / | tail -1

Report total disk size, how much is used, and how much is free.


Step 2 — Top-level home folder sizes

du -sh ~/* 2>/dev/null | sort -rh | head -15

Identify which top-level folders in the home directory are largest.


Step 3 — Known large locations

Check these locations — they are commonly large and often overlooked:

du -sh \
  ~/Desktop \
  ~/Downloads \
  ~/Documents \
  ~/Movies \
  ~/Music \
  ~/Library/Developer \
  ~/Library/Application\ Support \
  ~/Library/Caches \
  2>/dev/null | sort -rh

Step 4 — Developer-specific large locations (only if ~/Library/Developer exists)

du -sh \
  ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData \
  ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices \
  ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS\ DeviceSupport \
  2>/dev/null | sort -rh

Step 5 — Find large files (>500 MB) anywhere in home

find ~ -maxdepth 6 -size +500M -not -path "*/.*" 2>/dev/null | while read f; do du -sh "$f" 2>/dev/null; done | sort -rh | head -20

Step 6 — Look for common storage wasters

# ZIP files next to folders with the same name (often redundant)
find ~/Desktop ~/Downloads ~/Documents -maxdepth 2 -name "*.zip" 2>/dev/null

# Old iOS backups
du -sh ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup/ 2>/dev/null

# Trash
du -sh ~/.Trash/ 2>/dev/null
