config-gc

Garbage collection for your Claude Code configuration. Periodically scans ~/.claude (skills, memory, hooks, permissions, MCP servers, caches) for redundant, stale, orphaned, or low-value items, then walks the user through a confirm-each-deletion cleanup. Use when the user says "clean up my config", "config GC", "too many skills", "audit my setup", "my .claude is bloated", or asks for a periodic config review.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is highly actionable with executable commands, a clearly sequenced and validated workflow, and clean section organization. The only minor gap is slight repetition of the human-in-the-loop philosophy across the framing, design, and anti-patterns sections.

Suggestions

Consolidate the repeated 'never delete autonomously / human-in-the-loop' point: state it once in Design Philosophy and reference it from Anti-Patterns rather than re-deriving it.

The 'Borrowed from runtime garbage collection' framing paragraph could be trimmed to one line; the analogy adds little beyond what the Design Philosophy already states.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence with executable examples, but the runtime-GC framing, Design Philosophy, and Anti-Patterns sections restate the same human-in-the-loop point a few times and could be tightened slightly.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready bash for orphaned hooks, redundant permissions, stale caches, soft-delete with undo, and jq-based permission removal — covering the common cases concretely.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear six-step sequence (Scan, Rank, Confirm one by one, Soft-delete, Log, Report) with explicit per-item [y/n/skip] validation, undo paths, and logging — strong feedback loops appropriate for a destructive batch operation.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A single well-organized SKILL.md with clear section headers (When to Activate, Scan Channels table, Workflow, Examples, Anti-Patterns, Best Practices) and no external bundle files; for a single-purpose skill of this size, well-organized sections suffice.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is exemplary: it states concrete capabilities across named config channels, provides abundant natural trigger phrases, explicitly covers both what and when, and occupies a distinct niche with low conflict risk. No changes needed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain (~/.claude) and lists multiple concrete actions — scanning skills, memory, hooks, permissions, MCP servers, caches for redundant/stale/orphaned/low-value items and walking through a confirm-each-deletion cleanup — giving comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (periodically scan ~/.claude and walk through confirm-each-deletion cleanup) and 'when' (concrete 'Use when...' trigger phrases), matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Quotes several natural phrases a user would actually say ('clean up my config', 'config GC', 'too many skills', 'audit my setup', 'my .claude is bloated'), covering synonyms and variations comprehensively.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Scoped tightly to Claude Code config garbage collection with distinct triggers ('config GC', 'my .claude is bloated'), giving it a clear niche with minimal overlap risk against other skills.
