Do I need to be a technical user to use this?

No. Upon startup, the skill asks for your experience level. The 'Common' mode provides friendly, plain-language explanations and step-by-step guidance.

Can it help clean up developer-specific bloat?

Yes, it is specifically designed to find and remove bloat from Xcode (DerivedData, Simulators), Docker, Homebrew, and large node_modules directories.

Does it support Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs?

Absolutely. It automatically detects your chip architecture and adjusts memory calculations based on the specific page size of your hardware.

What kind of hardware information does it analyze?

It checks CPU model, RAM capacity, macOS version, swap usage, thermal conditions, and battery health to provide a complete performance profile.

Is this skill safe for my system files?

Yes. The skill follows a strict safety protocol, never deleting files without explicit confirmation and categorizing all actions by risk level (Safe, Low, and Medium).
