What problem does it solve?

Codebase hygiene sweep: find and clean up stale files, outdated documentation, build artifacts, and accumulated cruft across large repos to reduce maintenance overhead and confusion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stale documentation cleanup: identify WIP or outdated docs and align with current features.
  • Artifact and directory cleanup: detect empty dirs and stray build outputs not ignored by VCS.
  • Documentation gaps & hygiene: flag missing or outdated docs, and suggest updates.
  • Git hygiene & ready-state: surface branches, orphaned or merged worktrees, and drift between local and remote.
  • Use Case: When a project lingers with old docs and generated artifacts, run this skill to restore clarity and reduce noise.

Quick Start

Run tidy-codebase to scan the repository and produce a prioritized cleanup plan for removal and updates.
