Is it safe to delete the files identified by this skill?

Yes. The skill categorizes items by risk level (Safe, Low, Medium) and requires explicit user confirmation before any deletion occurs, ensuring you maintain control over your data.

How does the skill track how much space was saved?

The skill performs a baseline disk measurement before starting and a final measurement after cleanup, providing a detailed report of the total space reclaimed during the session.

Can I skip certain cleanup categories?

Yes. The skill presents opportunities in groups and asks for permission before proceeding with any specific action, allowing you to skip categories like Downloads or Docker volumes.

Does this skill handle developer-specific files?

Absolutely. It is optimized for developers, targeting Xcode DerivedData, simulator caches, npm and CocoaPods caches, and Docker artifacts that typically consume the most space.
