rudder: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/maintainer/rudder-workspace-hygiene-maintainer/SKILL.md

rudder-workspace-hygiene-maintainer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Undertone0809/rudder. It costs 55 tokens per session (571 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Rudder workspace auditing and cleanup tool for worktrees, generated files, logs, caches, and project-owned processes. It reports whether it only inspected the workspace, safely cleaned approved targets, or was blocked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory workspace contents, identify safe cleanup candidates, remove specifically authorized items, and report the resulting workspace health.
Why use it?
It helps reclaim disk space without accidentally deleting active work, source files, user data, or unrelated system state.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Undertone0809/rudder's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on rudder itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rudder configures →

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

rudder-workspace-hygiene-maintainer 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/audit-workspace.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rudder Workspace Hygiene Maintainer

Make workspace cost visible and reclaim only space that is both proven safe and explicitly authorized.

Exclusive Outcome

  • AUDIT: read-only inventory and classified cleanup candidates.
  • CLEANED: exact authorized targets removed, with reclaimed space and post-cleanup health reported.
  • BLOCKED: safe classification or required cleanup authority is missing.

An audit is always allowed. Cleanup is allowed only for exact targets covered by the user's request.

Protected By Default

Never delete or rewrite the main checkout; dirty, unmerged, locked, or active worktrees; source or user-created data; ~/.rudder instances and databases; global caches; unrelated project state; or logs still being written before identifying and handling their producer.

Do not use broad unresolved globs, inferred environment variables, or recursive deletion against a workspace root.

Audit

Run the bundled read-only helper first:

.agents/skills/maintainer/rudder-workspace-hygiene-maintainer/scripts/audit-workspace.sh

Add --sizes only when a slower serial disk scan is worthwhile.

Gross directory size is not reclaimable space. For every candidate, classify: registered worktree and branch; main/current/locked state; dirty/unmerged state; active repo-owned process; merge ancestry or other recoverability proof; generated versus user data; and exact expected reclaim.

Process reports must be scoped to registered Rudder worktree roots or an exact Rudder-owned signature. Report only redacted PID, PPID, elapsed time, RSS, executable, and owner; never dump full argv that may contain tokens.

Cleanup

  1. Resolve exact absolute targets.
  2. Confirm each target is within the user's authorized scope.
  3. Stop or fix active producers before rotating/removing their output.
  4. Prefer repository-aware or recoverable operations.
  5. Remove only classified generated artifacts or proven-safe worktrees.
  6. Re-run the audit and a lightweight health check.
  7. Report target, reason, bytes reclaimed, and recoverability.

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.
