What it does

Clear Caches is an agent skill from ankitvgupta/exo. Clear extension caches, analysis data, and drafts from the database. Use when testing sender lookups, analysis, or draft generation from a clean state.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Claude Code for your Inbox.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing sender lookups
  • Draft generation from a clean state

Example prompts

  • “/clear-caches”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Restart the app to trigger re-analysis and re-enrichment
  2. The prefetch queue will process all inbox emails again
  3. Watch logs for [Prefetch], [Ext:web-search], [Ext:calendar] activity

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04da760. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • sqlite3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Clear Caches loads about 512 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 100 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~512

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 100 words (~512 tokens).

“Clears all extension caches, analysis data, and draft data from the database. Use this when testing sender lookups, analysis, or draft generation from a clean state.”
