SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of accumulating massive amounts of digital clutter, such as stale node_modules, unused AI models, and forgotten cache files, which consume significant disk space and degrade system performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conservative Cleanup: Identifies large files and directories while strictly avoiding auto-deletion to ensure user data safety.
  • Categorized Scanning: Systematically audits seven distinct areas including package manager caches, Docker artifacts, and application-specific caches.
  • Use Case: When your disk is nearly full, use this skill to identify which specific projects or AI models are the largest contributors to the storage bottleneck and receive safe, actionable commands to clear them.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to find large files and directories that are safe to delete to free up space on your computer.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my macOS disk fill up so quickly from project dependencies?

Your macOS disk fills up quickly because project dependencies, such as node_modules, and package caches accumulate massive amounts of digital clutter. These forgotten cache files consume significant disk space and degrade system performance.

How do I safely reclaim disk space on macOS by identifying junk files?

To safely reclaim disk space on macOS, you can identify and categorize large non-essential files like stale node_modules and unused AI models. This process requires explicit user confirmation for all cleanup actions to ensure data safety.

What's the best way to clear Docker artifacts and package caches without breaking dependencies?

The best way to clear Docker artifacts and package caches safely is through categorized scanning that audits seven distinct storage areas. It identifies safe-to-delete items while strictly avoiding auto-deletion to protect your system dependencies.

How do I locate large local AI model repositories taking up disk space?

You can locate large local AI model repositories by running a categorized disk audit that targets diverse storage locations. This identifies non-essential files and directories, providing actionable commands to help you manually clear them.

Does macOS storage cleanup automatically delete my project dependencies and cache files?

No, macOS storage cleanup does not automatically delete your project dependencies or cache files. It follows a risk-aware workflow that strictly avoids auto-deletion, requiring explicit user confirmation before any cleanup action is executed.

Why does accumulating stale node_modules and unused AI models degrade system performance?

Accumulating stale node_modules and unused AI models degrades system performance because this digital clutter consumes significant disk space. Identifying and categorizing these large non-essential files helps facilitate manual disk space reclamation.
