Mac Storage Cleaner

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user says their Mac disk
• Storage is full
• Gets a startup disk almost full / low-storage warning
• Asks to free up space

Example prompts

• “startup disk almost full”
• “s eating their disk — in any language (e.g. English”
• “free up disk”
• “/mac-storage-cleaner”

Requirements

• A Bash shell
• Docker

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Survey — caches (always first, read-only)
2. 2Clear the safe tier (no per-item permission needed)
3. 3Surface the "ask" tier — recommend, don't delete
4. 4Go beyond caches — the space the cleaners miss (read-only scan)
5. 5Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. 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

  Ships 5 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • bash
  • brew
  • docker
  • xcrun

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Mac Storage Cleaner loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 223 tokens; SKILL.md has 917 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~223

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~4.9k

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.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Safely reclaim disk space on a Mac — the trustworthy, transparent, reversible alternative to CleanMyMac and similar tools. Use whenever the user says their Mac disk or storage is full or nearly full, gets a "startup disk almost full" / low-storage warning, asks to free up space, clean/clear caches, remove junk, delete leftover files from apps they uninstalled, or find what's eating their disk — in any language (e.g. English "my mac is out of space", "free up disk", "clear caches", "what's taking up my storage"; Georgian "ქეში გაასუფთავე", "მეხსიერება გადამევსო", "ადგილი აღარ მაქვს"). Surveys usage first, auto-clears only pure caches, moves anything riskier to the Trash (restorable), asks before anything expensive, logs every deletion, and reports what was freed. Do NOT use for cloud storage, RAM/memory-pressure, or a single named app's own in-app cache button.
