cleanup-changes

cleanup-changes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Robot-Inventor/agent-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (540 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cleanup guide for reviewing code changes and keeping only the edits needed for the requested result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cleaning up a working tree, preparing a commit, or reviewing changes before opening a pull request.
Why use it?
Trial-and-error can leave behind unrelated or ineffective edits. This helps reduce accidental changes before a commit or pull request.

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

cleanup-changes 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 7d 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.

Cleanup Changes Skill

Both humans and agents typically go through a trial-and-error process when writing code, making numerous changes (including non-essential and unnecessary ones) to achieve their final goals. However, non-essential and unnecessary changes resulting from this trial-and-error process should not be included in the final code. Changes should be reviewed as needed, and unnecessary changes should be reversed to focus only on essential ones.

When to apply

You should perform this skill when a user requests a cleanup of changes, or before creating a commit or pull request.

Steps

The following is the core of this skill; please follow the specified steps. Do not change the Git staging state unless explicitly instructed to do so by the user. Users may have staged their changes as a snapshot of the code in its last expected state.

1. Looking back on the trial-and-error process

Reflect on the trial-and-error process of the task and distinguish between changes that were essentially necessary and changes that, despite being tried, ultimately proved ineffective and unnecessary.

You shouldn't make assumptions about whether a change is essentially necessary. For example, when fixing a bug, review the changes made when the bug was finally fixed, understand the essential and root cause of the bug, and then, based on that, determine whether each change is essentially necessary.

When determining whether each change is necessary, pay particular attention to bugs caused by multiple factors. Bugs can be caused by a single, simple cause, or by multiple factors. If it's caused by a single, simple cause, the last change made when the bug is fixed may be sufficient, and previous changes may be unnecessary. If it's a bug caused by multiple factors, the last change alone may not be enough, and some of the changes made during the trial-and-error process leading up to it may also be necessary. Carefully consider the underlying cause of the bug, including whether it's due to a single cause or multiple factors, and then determine which changes are necessary and which are not.

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.

cleanup-changes is a skill published in the GitHub repository Robot-Inventor/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 540 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
