What it does
Skill Cleaner is an agent skill from steipete/agent-scripts. Codex/OpenClaw skill audit: live budget, usage, duplicates, compact descriptions.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `scripts/skill-cleaner.test.ts` and `scripts/skill-cleaner.ts`).
The repository describes itself as: Scripts for agents, shared between my repositories. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/skill-cleaner”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79150cf. 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 2 files in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodecodex
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
Skill Cleaner loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Skill Cleaner
Use this when trimming skill prompt budget, finding duplicate skills, auditing enabled/disabled skill roots, or deciding which skills/plugins to remove.
Workflow
- Run the analyzer from this skill directory or repo root:
node --experimental-strip-types skills/skill-cleaner/scripts/skill-cleaner.ts --months 3Useful variants:
node --experimental-strip-types skills/skill-cleaner/scripts/skill-cleaner.ts --no-logs
node --experimental-strip-types skills/skill-cleaner/scripts/skill-cleaner.ts --no-live --no-logs

node --experimental-strip-types skills/skill-cleaner/scripts/skill-cleaner.ts --root ~/.agents/skills --root-only --no-logs- Read the report in this order:
Skill Budget: live Codex inventory, 2% budget, budgeted usage, and full-description pressure.Description candidates: long descriptions where relaxed grammar saves prompt budget.Duplicates: same skill name or near-identical description/body across Codex, plugin cache, repo siblings, and personal skill roots.Unused candidates: no recent user mention or actualSKILL.mdread in recent Codex/OpenClaw logs.Root summary: where skills came from and whether config marks them disabled.
- Before deleting or editing:
- Verify the kept copy exists and is loaded.
- Prefer deleting repo-local or
agent-scriptsduplicates when Codex built-ins cover them. - Keep repo-local OpenClaw maintainer skills when they encode repo policy or live operations.
- Preserve trigger nouns in descriptions: product, tool, action, object.
Analyzer Notes
- By default,
codex debug prompt-inputsupplies the exact model-visible skill list, order, names, and aliased paths.--no-liveforces the broader filesystem fallback. - The broad filesystem scan remains for duplicate, disabled, and archived-cache diagnostics; it is not treated as the loaded inventory.
- The script mirrors Codex's model-visible line shape:
- name: description (file: path). - It applies Codex-like frontmatter rules: YAML frontmatter only, default name from parent dir, single-line sanitized
nameanddescription. - It follows Codex
core-skills/src/render.rs: 2% of rawcontext_window, token costceil(utf8_bytes / 4), then full descriptions -> equal description truncation -> omitted minimum lines. Alias-table line cost is included. - It reads
~/.codex/models_cache.jsonfor GPT-5.5context_window; fallback is 272,000 tokens and 2%. - It scans only normal Codex/plugin/repo skill roots by default. Extra folders such as Dropbox archives are included only with
--root <path>. --root-onlyrequires at least one--root <path>, skips the live Codex inventory, and scans only those supplied roots.- It realpath-dedupes roots, so symlinked roots such as
~/.codex/skills/agent-scripts -> ~/Projects/agent-scripts/skillsdo not create false duplicates. - For duplicate names, it reports description/body similarity and suggests deletion candidates only when bodies are near copies. Keep priority defaults to direct Codex system skills, then direct Codex skills, then plugin skills, then personal/repo copies.
- It scans
~/.codex/history.jsonland recent~/.codex/sessions/**/*.jsonlby default. Add--deep-logsfor archived sessions and common OpenClaw/Clawd log folders. - Usage evidence is heuristic: user
$skill/use skillmentions and paths observed in tool-call arguments.

Output Policy
- Suggest first; edit only when the user asks.
- If asked to apply cleanup, make small grouped commits: descriptions, deletes, config disables.
- Do not delete ignored/untracked skill dirs without naming the destination or confirming they are disposable.
