What kind of report does the skill provide after cleanup?

The skill generates a summary of all actions taken, files touched, validation results (like linting or test passes), and any remaining risks or backlog items.

Can I use this skill to manage project dependencies?

Yes, it includes specialized references for dependency cleanup to identify unused packages and ensure build scripts are updated after removal.

Does it support documentation maintenance?

Absolutely. The skill identifies documentation that has drifted from actual code behavior and helps prune or update outdated entry points.

When is the best time to run the repo-cleanup skill?

It is best used during routine maintenance, sprint closures, or when repository bloat begins to affect build performance, but should be avoided during active incident response.

How does the Repository Cleanup skill prevent accidental data loss?

The skill follows a strict safety workflow that includes capturing a baseline state (git status and backups) and validating usage before any file is removed.

生産性とワークフロー

Maintains repository health by identifying and removing technical debt, stale artifacts, and redundant code using validated cleanup workflows.

概要

The Repository Cleanup skill for Claude Code provides a structured and safe framework for managing repository hygiene and reducing technical debt. It streamlines the removal of dead code, unused dependencies, outdated documentation, and brittle tests while minimizing risk through mandatory baseline checks, usage validation, and post-cleanup testing. This skill is essential for development teams looking to reduce repository bloat, optimize build times, and maintain a high-quality, navigable codebase through repeatable and documented maintenance cycles.
