Workspace Cleanup Audit
Overview
Run a read-only scan over repositories in ~/Workspace and report cleanup chores ranked by severity. Never delete, move, or modify files.
Workflow
- Load active customization config:
- Prefer <skill_root>/config/customization.yaml. - Fall back to <skill_root>/config/customization.template.yaml.
- Run
scripts/scan_workspace_cleanup.py. - Review top-ranked findings first.
- Report findings with severity, repo, directory, category, size, and reason.
- Suggest cleanup actions as text only.
Commands
Use the default workspace scan:
uv run --with pyyaml python scripts/scan_workspace_cleanup.pyScan a custom workspace root:
uv run --with pyyaml python scripts/scan_workspace_cleanup.py --workspace ~/WorkspaceReturn machine-readable output:
uv run --with pyyaml python scripts/scan_workspace_cleanup.py --jsonTune noise floor and stale threshold:
uv run --with pyyaml python scripts/scan_workspace_cleanup.py --min-mb 100 --stale-days 90Configuration precedence:

Customization Workflow
When a user asks to customize this skill, use this deterministic flow:
- Read active config from
config/customization.yaml; if missing, useconfig/customization.template.yaml. - Confirm desired behavior for:
- workspace root - thresholds (minMb, staleDays, maxFindings) - severity cutoffs - directory/file override rules
- Propose 2-4 option bundles with one recommended default.
- Create or update
config/customization.yamlfrom template and set:
- schemaVersion: 1 - isCustomized: true - profile: <selected-profile>
- Validate with a scan run and report changed keys plus behavior deltas.
Customization Reference
- Detailed knobs and examples:
references/customization.md - YAML schema and allowed values:
references/config-schema.md
Output Contract
Each finding includes:
severityrepodirectorycategorysize_humanscorewhy_flaggedsuggested_cleanup
The report also includes:
- Top findings sorted by severity then size
- Repo summary ranked by total flagged size
Read-Only Rules
- Never run destructive commands.
- Never remove artifacts automatically.
- Never write into scanned repositories.
- Provide recommendations only.
Automation Templates
Use $workspace-cleanup-audit inside automation prompts so Codex consistently loads this skill behavior.
For ready-to-fill Codex App and Codex CLI (codex exec) templates, including placeholders, safety defaults, and output handling, use:
