mac-cleanup

mac-cleanup is a skill for Codex from WiseWong6/wise-skills. It costs 187 tokens per session (2,123 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A Mac cleanup and diagnosis workflow that examines disk space, startup items, background services, processes, ports, applications, command-line tools, and package managers. It reports findings before any cleanup is carried out.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a slow or hot Mac, find removable files, review background services, stop unwanted processes, and inventory installed software.
Why use it?
It helps identify what is using space or slowing the computer while reducing the risk of deleting user data, credentials, or needed services by mistake.

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 B, and why

mac-cleanup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/capture_macos_snapshot.sh, scripts/compare_snapshots.py, scripts/normalize_snapshot.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.

Mac 清理管家

删错的代价远大于少删。先取证、再分层、用户拍板、删后复查;每轮清理后主动推进"还有哪些"。

第一步永远是读个人档案

个人档案默认放在 ~/.local/share/mac-cleanup/known-state.md,不得写进 Skill 安装目录或源码仓库。开始任何清理战役前:

  1. 如果个人档案存在,完整读取;里面已确认的保护项、历史决定和遗留事项不重复纠结。
  2. 如果不存在,读取 references/known-state-template.md 了解字段;本轮先按空档案工作,在产生需要长期保留的决定后再创建个人档案。
  3. 如果用户设置了 MAC_CLEANUP_STATE_FILE,以该绝对路径为准。

用户指令解读

用户说话极简,按以下规则解读,不确定就问一句:

  • 「删。」「处理。」「都删吧」「都 kill」「卸载。」= 批准执行刚才报告里的(或引用的)目标。
  • 引用报告里的表格行/条目原文 + 一个动词 = 只对这些选中项执行,不是全部。
  • 一条消息里用 --- 分隔多段 = 批量下达多个决定,逐段处理。
  • 「这个又有什么用呢?」「逐个告诉我有什么用」「我看不懂」= 先用大白话逐个解释身份(是什么、谁装的、干什么用、上次什么时候用的),再谈删留。用户不懂的领域(如 pip)会说"你都看看"——那就全查并解释。
  • 用户的 typo 和截断(如「:5432 PostgreSQ」「kill下没用的端口」)按意图理解,不逐字抠。

报告契约(硬性要求)

曾因缺要素被用户批评「你这个分析不行」。每份清理报告必须:

  1. 每项必含三要素:来源(谁产生的/干什么用的)、删除风险、建议。只报大小和建议不够。
  2. 四层分类,按此分节或列表:
    • ① 无风险,删了会自动重建(缓存类)——可直接建议批量删
    • ② 大概率能清,但需用户确认——逐项说明来龙去脉
    • ③ 用户数据,只能用户自己决定(聊天记录、文档、作品)——只列大小和位置,不给删的建议,说明正确清理途径
    • ④ 不动(保护清单内的、在用的)——说明为什么不动
  3. 表格呈现,必列大小。示例:
项目 大小 来源 删除风险 建议
~/.cache/uv 28G uv 的 Python 包缓存 无,下次装包自动重建 可直接删

风险偏好默认规则

  • 官方工具优先于 rmxcrun simctl delete > 删目录;brew uninstall > 删 Cellar;launchctl bootout > 直接删 plist。
  • SIGTERM 先于 SIGKILL;kill 子进程不伤父会话。
  • 被进程占用的缓存不强删(报 "Resource busy" 就停手),标记为"重启后再清",不 kill 占用方来抢。
  • 去重前必须校验内容(MD5 或逐文件对比),内容不同就不是重复;重复留最新版本(比对修改时间)。
  • 数据库、知识库和不可重建数据在删除前必须单独询问是否导出或备份;不得从历史案例推断当前用户的选择。
  • 归档类按日期窗口清,默认只保留最近 30 天
  • 身份不明就先取证:查配置文件、软链、引用(zshrc/项目 .env)、Spotlight 使用时间、修改时间、PPID;还定不了就联网调研(GitHub/官网)确认来源。
  • 应用仍处于安装状态就绝不删它的数据目录

sudo 边界

不交互输密码。系统级操作(/Library、/usr/local、kext、特权助手、root 属主文件):

  1. 汇总成单条命令或写好带 set -x~/cleanup-sudo.sh 交给用户跑;
  2. 预期用户可能裸跑出错(override 提示、没带 sudo),要能解释原因并指导重跑;
  3. 用户跑完回报后必须复查验证删干净没有。

标准流程

  1. 读取外部个人档案;不存在时读取随包模板。
  2. 扫描取证(按领域读对应 playbook,见下表)。
  3. 出分层报告(按报告契约)。
  4. 等用户拍板——模糊指令(「优化一下」「你看着办」)不算批准,追问一句。
  5. 执行(用户级直接做,系统级走 sudo 交接)。
  6. 复查:验证删净/进程死透/磁盘数字变化,汇报释放量。
  7. 收尾:主动问"还要看看哪个领域",或按大扫除顺序推进;把新决策写回档案。

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.

mac-cleanup is a skill published in the GitHub repository WiseWong6/wise-skills (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 187 tokens to every session and 2,123 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
