Can I undo a cleanup action performed by Janitor?

Yes, Janitor defaults to moving files to a temporary trash folder and provides a specific rollback command to restore them.

Does the Janitor skill delete files immediately?

No, it follows a strict protocol that always provides an inventory and requires explicit user approval before any action is taken.

Is it safe to use on sensitive system files?

Janitor is repo-scoped by default. For any cleanup outside the repository, it generates a manual script for you to review rather than executing changes directly.

Does it use destructive commands like 'rm -rf'?

No, Janitor is designed to use the least-destructive commands possible and avoids 'rm -rf' or hard resets to maintain environment safety.

What specifically does Janitor consider to be 'bloat'?

It targets non-essential files such as build artifacts, log files, old backups (*.bak), and duplicate reports that can be safely regenerated.

Developer Tools

Automates safe repository cleanup and de-bloating through a strict inventory-and-approval workflow.

About

The Janitor skill provides a safety-first protocol for managing repository bloat and cleaning up workspace clutter within Claude Code. It follows a strict 'inventory-approve-act' workflow, ensuring that no files are deleted without explicit user consent. By defaulting to reversible actions—moving candidates to a timestamped trash directory—and offering clear rollback commands, it allows developers to reclaim disk space and remove duplicates from build artifacts, logs, and backups without the risk of accidental data loss.

Key Features

Reversible staging by moving files to a dedicated, timestamped trash directory.
Smart detection of build artifacts, logs, and duplicate backup files.
0 GitHub stars
Multi-stage safety protocol: Inventory, Propose, Approve, and Execute.
Automatic generation of rollback commands for instant data restoration.
Safe script generation for cleanup tasks requested outside the repository scope.

Use Cases

Decluttering repositories by identifying and moving redundant backup files.
Safely purging untracked large directories that cause snapshot or git warnings.
Reclaiming disk space by removing old build artifacts and regeneratable reports.
