README

`/cleanup` — macOS Deep Clean for Claude Code

One command. Gigabytes back. Zero risk to your actual files.

Your Mac accumulates **gigabytes** of cache junk from browsers, editors, package managers, and apps you forgot you had. This Claude Code skill wipes it all in seconds — safely.

What it cleans

Category	What gets nuked
System	`~/Library/Caches/`, `~/Library/Logs/`, system caches, `.DS_Store` files, DNS cache
Package managers	npm, npx, pip, Homebrew (old versions + cache)
Editors	VS Code, Cursor — cached data, extensions cache, code cache
AI tools	Claude Desktop — VM bundles, GPU cache, service workers
Browsers	Chrome — service workers, GPU/shader cache (never touches bookmarks, history, or extensions)
Chat apps	Slack, Discord, Zoom — cache and auto-updater bloat
Media	Spotify persistent cache
Containers	Docker dangling images and build cache (only if daemon is idle)

After cleaning, it deep-scans for remaining space hogs over 500 MB and asks before touching them.

What it NEVER touches

Your files — Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Work, Projects, Code
App configs — settings, preferences, profiles, bookmarks
App state — Local Storage, IndexedDB, databases
Credentials — Keychain, SSH keys, GPG keys, tokens, .env files
Dev environments — git repos, node_modules, nvm versions
Anything not on the explicit allow-list — it doesn't improvise
