FAQPage Schema

How do I safely clean temporary files and legacy artifacts from my project root?▼

To safely clean temporary files, this Skill executes move, prune, and archive phases that relocate stray files to .claude/archives and delete expendable items within .claude subdirectories, preserving source code while generating an activity report.

What is the best way to automate artifact cleanup for sprint workspaces and repositories?▼

Automating artifact cleanup for sprint workspaces involves relocating stray files to .claude/handoffs and archives, then pruning non-essential items. This routine ensures sprint hygiene and release readiness by systematically removing legacy artifacts without data loss.

Does this project cleanup routine work with both Bash and PowerShell on Windows?▼

Yes, the cleanup routine supports both Bash and PowerShell on Windows. It fulfills multi-step safety requirements by using these tools to execute its move, prune, archive, and reporting phases across your development environment.

How do I archive Claude Code handoff files without losing critical assets?▼

Archiving Claude Code handoff files safely requires relocating stray files from the root into .claude/handoffs and .claude/archives. The Skill prevents accidental data loss by restricting deletion to non-essential areas within .claude subdirectories only.

When should I not use an automated artifact management script for temporary file removal?▼

You should not use automated artifact management when essential source files are untracked or stored in the root, as this routine targets stray items and deletes expendable files to maintain project cleanliness and prevent accidental data loss.
