High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To terminate orphaned Claude Code processes, run a shell script that identifies instances without a controlling terminal and safely stops them while preserving active sessions and the current process.
The safest way to clean up the ~/.claude/ directory is using a dry-run mode to preview which temporary files will be removed, ensuring important or recently modified data is preserved before actual deletion.
You can run a dry-run cleanup by executing the shell script with the --dry-run flag, which previews the termination of orphaned processes and directory cleanup without actually deleting files or stopping processes.
Yes, you can force cleanup by running the shell script with the --force flag, which bypasses manual confirmation to automatically remove accumulated temporary files in the ~/.claude/ directory.
The process cleanup script preserves active sessions by specifically targeting only orphaned processes without a controlling terminal, ensuring your current work and active instances remain unaffected during the cleanup operation.
Yes, the script supports automated usage by providing argument parsing, safe process termination, directory cleanup with safeguards, and user feedback, making it suitable for integration into larger shell-script automation workflows.
