rlm-cleanup-agent is a skill for Claude Code from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills. It costs 117 tokens per session (606 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A housekeeping skill that removes outdated or orphaned entries from an RLM Summary Ledger, a record of cached file summaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for previewing and cleaning stale cache entries across selected project profiles.
Why use it?
It keeps the ledger aligned with files after they are deleted, renamed, or moved, so agents do not rely on stale references.

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

rlm-cleanup-agent 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/cleanup_cache.py, scripts/distiller.py, scripts/inject_summary.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.

RLM Cleanup Agent

Role

You remove stale and orphaned entries from the RLM Summary Ledger. An entry is stale when its file no longer exists or has moved. Running this regularly keeps the ledger accurate.

This is a write operation. Always confirm scope before running.

Prerequisites

Profile not configured? Run rlm-init skill first: SKILL.md

When to Run

  • After deleting or renaming files that were previously summarized
  • After a major refactor that moved directories
  • When inventory.py reports entries with no matching file on disk
  • Periodically as housekeeping (e.g. after a merge)

Execution Protocol

1. Confirm profiles to clean

Default: run against all configured profiles. Ask if unsure:

"Should I clean all profiles (project + tools), or a specific one?"

2. Dry run first -- show what will be removed

python ./scripts/cleanup_cache.py \
  --profile project --dry-run

python ./scripts/cleanup_cache.py \
  --profile tools --dry-run

Report: "Found N stale entries across profiles: [list of paths]"

3. Apply -- only after confirming with the user

python ./scripts/cleanup_cache.py \
  --profile project --apply

python ./scripts/cleanup_cache.py \
  --profile tools --apply

4. Verify

python ./scripts/inventory.py --profile project

Report the new coverage percentage.

Rules

  • Always dry-run first. Never apply without showing the user what will be deleted.
  • Never edit *_cache/*.md directly. Always use cleanup_cache.py.
  • Source Transparency Declaration: state which profiles were cleaned and how many entries removed.
Files

What ships with it

45 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
