SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the accumulation of stale, duplicate, or abandoned engineering changes that clutter the development environment and obscure active work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Triage: Identifies stale, duplicate, or stuck changes based on configurable thresholds and bucket precedence.
  • Safe Closure: Provides a structured, approval-gated workflow to close or archive changes without losing engineering context.
  • Worktree Reporting: Generates a safety report on local worktree drift to prevent accidental deletion of active sessions.

Quick Start

Run the adv-cleanup skill to generate a triage report of all stale changes in the current repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify and triage stale engineering changes in a repository?

You can identify and triage stale engineering changes by running an automated scan that flags abandoned, duplicate, or proposal-stuck tasks based on configurable thresholds and bucket precedence. This generates a structured report of all inactive items in the repository.

What is the safest way to close or archive abandoned engineering tasks?

The safest way to archive abandoned engineering tasks is using an approval-gated workflow that adheres to Tier B protocols. This structured closure process archives changes safely without losing the original engineering context.

How do I check for local worktree drift before cleaning up stale branches?

To check for local worktree drift before cleanup, you generate a safety report on your active sessions. This prevents accidental deletion by highlighting divergence between local worktrees and the main repository state.

Does automated repository cleanup require specific approval protocols for state mutations?

Yes, automated repository cleanup requires strict adherence to Tier B approval protocols for state mutation and closure actions. This ensures that all archiving and triage modifications are formally authorized.

What's the best way to manage proposal-stuck or mid-flight engineering tasks?

The best way to manage proposal-stuck or mid-flight tasks is systematic project maintenance triage. This approach categorizes inactive work using bucket precedence to safely clear clutter without obscuring active development.
