Cleanup Audit

What it does

This skill, cleanup-audit, helps identify and remove unnecessary or redundant files within a directory structure. It aims to reduce storage consumption by systematically analyzing file names and sizes. The tool provides an audit trail of actions taken, allowing for review and potential reversal of deletions.

When to use it

• Reducing cloud storage costs: Identify and eliminate old log files or temporary assets consuming excessive space in a cloud-based project.
• Cleaning up development environments: Remove build artifacts and outdated dependencies after software development cycles.
• Optimizing media libraries: Prune duplicate images or videos from a collection to free up disk space.
• Preparing for archival: Before archiving data, use this skill to remove transient files and reduce the overall archive size.

Key capabilities

• File name analysis
• File size assessment
• Deletion of identified files
• Audit trail generation

Example prompts

• "Cleanup audit the /logs directory."
• "Run a cleanup audit on all files larger than 10MB in /tmp and show me the audit log."
• "Perform a cleanup audit, excluding any files modified within the last week."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires read and write permissions to the target directory. Always review the generated audit trail before confirming any deletions to avoid accidental data loss.
