Cleanup

Free disk space and prune branches with one scan, one confirmation, and one apply. Every deletion goes through scripts/agent_cleanup.py in this skill's directory. Right before acting, it re-checks each git item, artifact folder, archive and the trash, and skips anything that changed since the scan.

1. Scope

Choose what to scan:

• This repo (default): run from inside it with no --root. The scan covers this repo, the agent worktree folders (Codex, Cursor, Conductor, Vibe Kanban), package caches, agent logs and the trash.
• Whole machine: the user says disk full, all projects, or everything. Add --root <dir> for each folder that holds their projects. Look for the usual ones (~/code, ~/dev, ~/src, ~/projects, ~/repos, ~/Developer, ~/Documents/*). If none of them exist, ask the user.

Narrow with --only git,artifacts,archives,caches,agents,trash when the user asks for one kind, e.g. "just branches" → --only git. Add --remote only when the user wants merged branches deleted on origin too.

Done when the scan command is chosen.

2. Scan

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/agent_cleanup.py scan --fetch [--root DIR ...] [--only ...] [--remote]

The scan is read-only, apart from --fetch updating remote-tracking refs. It prints numbered items in four classes and saves the plan:

• REMOVE: merged into the base branch, regenerable, or a worktree whose directory is already gone (unregistering it keeps its branch).
• NEEDS-DECISION: holds something unique (uncommitted or ignored files, unmerged or unpushed commits, build output, archives, old logs).
• KEEP-ACTIVE and SKIP: open PRs, recent work, long-lived branches, the main checkout, locked or rebasing worktrees, anything a running process is inside, unmounted drives. Never act on these.

--help lists the thresholds (--stale-days, --keep-days, --min-size).

Done when the plan is printed with its reclaimable total.

3. One confirmation

Ask once, using your multi-select question tool if you have one, otherwise a single message, then wait for the answer:

• REMOVE, pre-selected, one line per item: id, size, path and note. When there are many, group lines by kind (worktrees, branches, artifacts, caches) and keep each id visible. Say that caches re-download on demand and artifacts come back on the next install or build.
• Each NEEDS-DECISION item on its own line, unselected: path, size, and what is unique in it (the note). Agent logs and archives cannot be recovered once deleted.
• Remote branches, if --remote was used, as a separate question: deleting them affects everyone using the repo.

KEEP-ACTIVE and SKIP get one summary line so the user knows they were seen.

Done when the user has answered.

4. Apply

Pass exactly the ids the user picked:

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/agent_cleanup.py apply 1 2 5 9-14

Add --remote only when the picked ids include remote branches the user approved in their own question. apply --recommended takes every REMOVE item; use it only when the user approved all of them and nothing else.

apply prints one line per item: done, skipped (changed since the scan, gone, or now in use), refused, or failed with git's reason. Report each one as printed. Leave skipped and refused items in place; the next scan classifies them again. If the plan is more than 24 hours old, apply refuses it: scan again and confirm again.

git worktree remove refuses a worktree with uncommitted changes. Add --force only for ids where the user explicitly accepted losing those changes. A detached worktree's unique commits are saved under refs/agent-cleanup/ before removal.

Done when every picked id has a result line.

5. Report

Tell the user:

• how much space was freed;
• what was removed;
• what was left and why;
• for each agent-data item, the agent's built-in retention setting named in its note, so the logs stop piling up.

Every action is logged to ~/.local/state/agent-cleanup/history.jsonl.
