Long-running chat timelines accumulate noise such as reload notices, compaction messages, greetings, and one-word acknowledgments, bloating the SQLite message database and making history hard to browse. This Skill removes those low-value messages in bulk while protecting messages that carry user-uploaded media.
cleanupAll() to sweep twelve predefined groups covering reloads, compaction, greetings, slash commands, git operations, build noise, and package installs.web:* chats to the full session tree so branch chats are cleaned alongside the root chat.Ask the agent to run the timeline cleanup in dry-run mode with the built-in pattern groups to preview which low-value messages would be deleted from the web chat history.

Use cleanupTimeline with a list of keyword patterns; it builds SQL LIKE queries against the messages table and deletes matches through the internal HTTP API. Add dryRun: true to preview matches before deleting anything.
Call cleanupAll() to run twelve built-in pattern groups covering reloads, compaction notices, greetings, slash commands, git operations, and build noise. Each group returns matched, skipped, deleted, and failed counts.
No, messages with media attachments are skipped by default to protect user-uploaded images. You must explicitly set includeMedia: true or pass --include-media to delete media-bearing messages.
Yes, set dryRun: true or pass --dry-run on the CLI. The cleanup reports how many messages matched and would be skipped without performing any deletions or vacuuming.
SQLite VACUUM needs exclusive database access, so the helper copies the database to /tmp, vacuums the copy, then swaps it in while piclaw is briefly stopped via supervisorctl. The swap runs as a detached script.
Deletes are throttled by default at 1100ms between requests. When the API returns HTTP 429, the helper backs off and retries up to two times, both configurable via throttleMs, retryOn429, and maxRetries options.
