clean-storage

clean-storage is a skill for Claude Code from wyattjoh/skills. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,449 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A disk-cleanup skill that finds regenerable build outputs and software caches, such as Cargo targets, Xcode DerivedData, node_modules, Swift build files, and package-manager caches. It reports verified candidates before removing them after user approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan selected folders for large disposable artifacts, review their full paths and sizes, and clean approved Cargo build outputs, Xcode data, project dependencies, and tool caches.
Why use it?
Development tools can leave large files that can be recreated, making it difficult to see what is using disk space. The approval step helps avoid deleting files that are not safe to remove.

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 C, and why

clean-storage scanned grade C 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/classify.test.ts, scripts/classify.ts, scripts/scan.ts), 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clean storage

Finds regenerable build artifacts and caches, verifies each one is genuinely disposable, reports them, and cleans only after the user agrees. Cargo projects are cleaned through cargo clean; other verified artifacts are deleted directly.

Do not add context: fork. This workflow depends on AskUserQuestion for the deletion checkpoint and on the user reading the full path list, and a forked subagent cannot prompt the user. It must run inline.

Workflow

1. Scan (read-only, run without asking)

bun $SKILL_DIR/scripts/scan.ts --root ~/Code --root ~/Projects

Default root is the home directory. Scanning a whole home directory takes a while, so prefer explicit --root flags when the user named a location.

Useful flags:

Flag Effect
--root <path> Root to walk, repeatable. Default ~
--min-size <MB> Hide candidates below this size. Default 10
--max-depth <n> Walk depth. Default 8
--caches Add global caches to a root-scoped scan
--json Machine-readable output
--apply Delete the verified candidates

Global caches (Xcode DerivedData, DeviceSupport, go-build, Playwright, and the package manager stores) live outside any scanned root. They are included only in a home-wide scan, or when --caches is passed. This keeps a scoped request like "clean up my Rust project" from proposing deletions across the whole machine.

2. Report every path and action

Print the complete list of artifacts that would be cleaned, one per line, before asking for anything. Include the scanner's action for every path: Cargo targets show the project directory where cargo clean will run; other artifacts show delete. The user is authorizing specific paths and actions, not a number. A category summary alone is not enough to consent to a deletion, and neither is "the largest few entries".

What ships with it

5 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.

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.

clean-storage is a skill published in the GitHub repository wyattjoh/skills (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,449 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
