Optimize this skill with Tessl
npx tessl skill review --optimize ./.codex/skills/clean/SKILL.mdEvidence-based intelligent cleanup command. Systematically identifies stale artifacts through mainline analysis, discovers drift, and safely removes unused sessions, documents, and dead code.
Core workflow: Detect Mainline → Discover Drift → Confirm → Stage → Execute
Focus area: $FOCUS (or entire project if not specified) Mode: $ARGUMENTS
--dry-run: Preview cleanup without executing--focus: Focus area (module or path)Phase 0: Initialization
├─ Parse arguments (--dry-run, FOCUS)
├─ Setup session folder
└─ Initialize utility functions
Phase 1: Mainline Detection
├─ Analyze git history (30 days)
├─ Identify core modules (high commit frequency)
├─ Map active vs stale branches
└─ Build mainline profile
Phase 2: Drift Discovery (Subagent)
├─ spawn_agent with cli-explore-agent role
├─ Scan workflow sessions for orphaned artifacts
├─ Identify documents drifted from mainline
├─ Detect dead code and unused exports
└─ Generate cleanup manifest
Phase 3: Confirmation
├─ Validate manifest schema
├─ Display cleanup summary by category
├─ request_user_input: Select categories and risk level
└─ Dry-run exit if --dry-run
Phase 4: Execution
├─ Validate paths (security check)
├─ Stage deletion (move to .trash)
├─ Update manifests
├─ Permanent deletion
└─ Report results检测项目根目录,确保 .workflow/ 产物位置正确:
PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)优先通过 git 获取仓库根目录;非 git 项目回退到 pwd 取当前绝对路径。
存储为 {projectRoot},后续所有 .workflow/ 路径必须以此为前缀。

## TASK ASSIGNMENT
### MANDATORY FIRST STEPS
1. Read: ${projectRoot}/.workflow/project-tech.json (if exists)
## Task Objective
Discover stale artifacts for cleanup.
## Context
- Session: ${sessionFolder}
- Focus: ${focusArea || 'entire project'}
## Discovery Categories
### 1. Stale Workflow Sessions
Scan: ${projectRoot}/.workflow/active/WFS-*, ${projectRoot}/.workflow/archives/WFS-*, ${projectRoot}/.workflow/.lite-plan/*, ${projectRoot}/.workflow/.debug/DBG-*
Criteria: No modification >7 days + no related git commits
### 2. Drifted Documents
Scan: .claude/rules/tech/*, ${projectRoot}/.workflow/.scratchpad/*
Criteria: >30% broken references to non-existent files
### 3. Dead Code
Scan: Unused exports, orphan files (not imported anywhere)
Criteria: No importers in import graph
## Output
Write to: ${sessionFolder}/cleanup-manifest.json
Format:
{
"generated_at": "ISO",
"discoveries": {
"stale_sessions": [{ "path": "...", "age_days": N, "reason": "...", "risk": "low|medium|high" }],

|---|---|---|
| Low | Safe to delete | Empty sessions, scratchpad files |

First Call (/prompts:clean):
├─ Detect mainline from git history
├─ Discover stale artifacts via subagent
├─ Display summary, await user selection
└─ Execute cleanup with staging
Dry-Run (/prompts:clean --dry-run):
├─ All phases except execution
└─ Manifest saved for review
Focused (/prompts:clean FOCUS="auth"):
└─ Discovery limited to specified area| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| No git repo | Use file timestamps only |
| Agent timeout | Retry once with prompt, then abort |
| Path validation fail | Skip item, report reason |
| Manifest parse error | Abort with error |
| Empty discovery | Report "codebase is clean" |
Now execute cleanup workflow with focus: $FOCUS
