What it does

Ops Speedup is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Cross-platform, hardware-adaptive system optimizer. Auto-detects macOS / Linux / WSL / Windows (MINGW/Cygwin/MSYS2) and CPU/RAM/disk/GPU profile, then picks the right cleanup strategy. Scans reclaimable disk space, memory pressure, runaway processes, startup bloat, network issues. CleanMyMac built into Claude Code.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Linux and macOS. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/ops-speedup”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Visual header
  2. Full diagnostic scan (parallel, all probes)
  3. Health score + cleanup report
  4. Present cleanup choice (max 4 options per AskUserQuestion)
  5. Confirm destructive actions per Rule 5
  6. Execute
  7. Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • brew
    • npm
    • pnpm
    • docker
    • jq

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, pnpm and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Ops Speedup loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 574 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, AskUserQuestion

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.

Runtime Context

Before scanning, load:

  1. Preferences: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — read timezone for timestamps

OPS > SPEEDUP — System Optimizer

Architecture

The bin/ops-speedup binary is the single source of truth for probes AND actions. This skill's job is to:

  1. Call the binary with the right flags based on user intent
  2. Parse the JSON
  3. Present a health score + cleanup report
  4. Confirm destructive actions per plugin Rule 5
  5. Invoke the binary's clean/deep/aggressive modes to execute

CLI Reference — bin/ops-speedup

CommandPurposeSide effects
ops-speedupVisual banner + hardware summaryNone
ops-speedup --jsonQuick JSON diagnostics (disk/mem/net only)None
ops-speedup --scanFull parallel probe: disk + mem + CPU hogs + power hogs + GPU/ANE + startupNone

ops-speedup --deep--clean + Trash, DerivedData, simulators, animation cuts, launch-agent killRemoves files
ops-speedup --aggressive--deep + unload launch agents, docker --volumes, stale node_modules (>14d), TCP BBRPotentially breaking — confirm first

All modes:

  • Auto-detect OS (macOS / Linux / WSL / Windows) and dispatch OS-specific ops
  • Idempotent — skip DerivedData/Metro/journal if last run was <1h ago
  • Write telemetry to ~/.ops-speedup/history.jsonl
  • Only raise kernel tuning parameters, never lower
  • Protected processes list blocks killing of shells, IDEs, daemons

Phase 1 — Visual header

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup 2>/dev/null || echo "SCAN_FAILED"

Phase 2 — Full diagnostic scan (parallel, all probes)

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --scan 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'

The binary already runs all probes in parallel. Do NOT add additional serial probe calls from this skill — they will duplicate work that's already in the JSON output.

Phase 3 — Health score + cleanup report

Parse the JSON and render:

Phase 4 — Present cleanup choice (max 4 options per AskUserQuestion)

AskUserQuestion call 1 — Cleanup scope:

  [Quick — caches, tmp, logs, DNS flush (~[N] GB)]
  [Deep — + Trash, DerivedData, simulators, animation cuts (~[N] GB)]
  [Aggressive — + launch-agent unload, stale node_modules, docker volumes (~[N] GB)]
  [More options...]

AskUserQuestion call 2 (only if "More options..."):

  [Custom — pick categories]
  [Memory — kill top RAM hogs]
  [Startup / Network / Skip...]

AskUserQuestion call 3 (only if "Startup / Network / Skip..."):

  [Startup — review & disable launch agents / systemd units]
  [Network — flush DNS, tune TCP, BBR (aggressive)]
  [Skip — just show the report]

Phase 5 — Confirm destructive actions per Rule 5

Per plugin Rule 5, destructive actions require explicit per-action confirmation. Before running --aggressive:

About to run AGGRESSIVE cleanup. Each item is destructive:

  • Unload launch agents: [list]
  • Docker volume prune (may delete unmounted volumes): [N] MB
  • Stale node_modules (>14 days): [list of paths]
  • TCP congestion control → BBR (Linux only)

  [Proceed with all]  [Pick categories]  [Cancel]

If "Pick categories", batch per Rule 1 (max 4 options per AskUserQuestion).

Phase 6 — Execute

Invoke the binary directly — it handles OS detection and dispatch:

bash
# Quick clean
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --clean

# Deep clean
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --deep

# Aggressive (after confirmation)
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --aggressive

Memory hog killing (option 5 from Phase 4):

Top processes are already in the scan JSON (cpu_hogs / power_hogs). Present them in paginated AskUserQuestion calls (max 3 processes + [More...] per page, final page has [Kill selected] + [Skip]).

NEVER kill: kernel_task, launchd, WindowServer, loginwindow, Finder, Dock, systemd, init, shells (bash/zsh/fish), tmux, IDE processes (Cursor/Comet/Code), Claude, node, python, Xcode. The binary's PROTECTED_RE regex blocks these automatically.

Phase 7 — Results

After cleanup, re-scan and diff:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 OPS > CLEANUP COMPLETE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 Reclaimed:  [N] GB
 Disk free:  [before] GB → [after] GB
 RAM free:   [before] MB → [after] MB
 Swap:       [before] MB → [after] MB
 Health:     [before]/100 → [after]/100
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

History: ~/.ops-speedup/history.jsonl

If user came from /ops:dash, offer b) Back to dashboard.

Mode shortcuts

If $ARGUMENTS is:

  • scan or empty — Phase 1-3 only (report, no cleanup)
  • clean — run ops-speedup --clean automatically (safe)
  • deep — run ops-speedup --deep automatically (after 1 confirmation)
  • auto — run ops-speedup --clean automatically, print results
  • aggressive — run ops-speedup --aggressive after per-item confirmations

Trend analysis

~/.ops-speedup/history.jsonl is append-only. For trend questions ("is my disk filling up?", "is swap growing over time?"), read + graph:

bash
tail -30 ~/.ops-speedup/history.jsonl | jq -r '[.ts, .ram_free_mb, .swap_mb, .disk_pct] | @tsv'
