What it does

Janitor Swipe is an agent skill from khendzel/skills-janitor. Tinder for your Claude Code skills. Reviews a sorted deck of every installed skill and lets you swipe keep / delete / skip on each one. Use when the user wants to bulk-clean their skill collection, triage unused skills, or do interactive skill cleanup. Trigger with '/janitor-swipe'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code. The TUI itself requires an interactive terminal (the user runs it with the '!' prefix); requires bash 3.2+ and a terminal of at…

It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: Tinder for your Claude Code skills, subagents and MCP servers. Swipe away what wastes context, scan for prompt injection, get honest token costs. Fixes what it finds and actually… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to bulk-clean their skill collection
  • Triage unused skills
  • Do interactive skill cleanup
  • With /janitor-swipe

Example prompts

  • “/janitor-swipe”
  • “/janitor-swipe”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code. The TUI itself requires an interactive terminal (the user runs it with the '!' prefix); requires bash 3.2+ and a terminal of at least 50x22.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash(bash:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Tell the user to run it via !
  2. Explain the card and controls
  3. Scope-aware deletion (the critical correctness point)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4b42f39. 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:

    • Read
    • Bash(bash:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code. The TUI itself requires an interactive terminal (the user runs it with the '!' prefix); requires bash 3.2+ and a terminal of at least 50x22.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Janitor Swipe loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 694 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Janitor Swipe — interactive skill triage

A bash TUI that puts every installed skill into a sorted deck and lets the user swipe keep / delete / skip on each card.

Overview

The deck is sorted "most likely waste first" — heavy, never-used skills appear at the top, so most users hit ← delete a few times and quit before reviewing the whole list. The swipe is scope-aware and honest about what it can delete: user-scope skills are actually removed (after confirmation), plugin skills are flagged for review instead.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code with the skills-janitor plugin installed (provides scripts/swipe.sh and swipe-build-deck.sh)
  • bash 3.2+ (the stock macOS bash works; no external dependencies)
  • An interactive terminal at least 50 columns x 22 rows — the TUI reads single keypresses

Instructions

Step 1: Tell the user to run it via !

Inside Claude Code, the Bash tool's stdin is non-interactive, so the keypress reader can't work. The user must invoke it via the ! prefix so the command runs in their actual shell:

!bash ~/.claude/skills/skills-janitor/scripts/swipe.sh

When the user asks for /janitor-swipe, tell them to run that command in their terminal. Do NOT try to run it yourself via the Bash tool — it will error with "needs an interactive terminal".

Step 2: Explain the card and controls

Each card shows:

  • Skill name + position in deck (e.g. [3 / 47])
  • Context cost split: X always · Y on trigger (description tokens are permanent; body loads only when the skill fires)
  • Usage count and last invoked date
  • Scope (user, project, plugin · <plugin-name>, etc.)
  • 3-line truncated description
  • Verdict label (e.g. "Unused + heavy on trigger — prime delete candidate")

Controls:

  • ← / h / d — stage for delete
  • → / l / k — keep
  • ↓ / j / s / space — skip
  • u — undo (back up one card, clear its decision)
  • i — inspect (show full SKILL.md description)
  • q / Esc — quit (still shows summary for decisions made so far)
Step 3: Scope-aware deletion (the critical correctness point)
ScopeWhat happens on swipe left
user, project, codex-user, codex-projectPath is staged for rm -rf (or unlink if symlink)
plugin, plugin-sourceNOT deleted — flagged under "Plugins to review" at the apply screen, with a hint to run /plugin uninstall <plugin> if enough skills from that plugin were swiped
mcp-user, mcp-project (v1.7)Server entry is removed from its config file (~/.claude.json / .mcp.json) with a timestamped .bak backup — reversible
mcp-pluginNOT edited — flagged for plugin review like plugin skills

MCP server cards show real call counts from session transcripts instead of token guesses (schemas live server-side). An unused connected server ranks high — its tool schemas load into context for nothing.

Show full SKILL.md (280 more words)Show less

Output

After the last card (or q), an apply screen shows keep/skip/delete counts, the deletion list with paths, the "frees X always-loaded + Y on-trigger" token summary, the plugin review breakdown, and a prompt:

  • y — apply deletions immediately (logged to ~/.skills-janitor/log.jsonl with path and frontmatter snapshot)
  • N — cancel
  • save — write decisions to ~/.skills-janitor/swipe-<timestamp>.json for later application via swipe.sh --apply <file>

Error Handling

  1. Error: "Swipe needs an interactive terminal" Solution: The command was run through the Bash tool. Have the user run it with the ! prefix in their own terminal.

  2. Error: "Swipe needs at least 50 columns / 22 rows" Solution: The terminal window is too small — resize and retry.

  3. Error: No skills to swipe Solution: Nothing is installed (exits 0 with a message) — suggest /janitor-discover to find skills.

  4. Error: The user wants a non-interactive view instead Solution: Point them at /janitor-report or /janitor-value for the same data in list form.

Edge cases handled by the script: Ctrl-C mid-swipe restores the terminal; symlinks are unlinked, never followed; old saved decks without the v1.5 token-split fields still load.

Examples

Example 1: Standard triage

Input: "/janitor-swipe" or "help me clean up my skills interactively"

Output: Explain the flow in two sentences, then give the exact command to run: !bash ~/.claude/skills/skills-janitor/scripts/swipe.sh — and offer to review the results afterwards.

Example 2: Resume saved decisions

Input: "I saved my swipe decisions yesterday — apply them."

Output: !bash ~/.claude/skills/skills-janitor/scripts/swipe.sh --apply ~/.skills-janitor/swipe-<timestamp>.json (list the files in ~/.skills-janitor/ to find the right one).

Resources

  • TUI script (plugin-relative): {baseDir}/../../scripts/swipe.sh; deck builder: {baseDir}/../../scripts/swipe-build-deck.sh
  • Deletion log: ~/.skills-janitor/log.jsonl
  • /janitor-report — same data as a non-interactive list
  • /janitor-value — the token + usage data underneath the swipe deck
  • /janitor-fix --prune — automated broken-symlink cleanup, no interactive review
