What it does

Rudder Workspace Hygiene Maintainer is an agent skill from Undertone0809/rudder. Use to audit or clean Rudder worktrees, generated artifacts, logs, caches, and repo-owned processes without deleting active work, user data, or unrelated machine state. Returns AUDIT, CLEANED, or BLOCKED.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `evals/evals.json` and `scripts/audit-workspace.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. The repository describes itself as: Open-source local Agent harness for self-improving agent teams: run agents, review work, and turn feedback into reusable skills. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Clean Rudder worktrees
  • Generated artifacts
  • Repo-owned processes without deleting active work
  • Unrelated machine state

Example prompts

  • “/rudder-workspace-hygiene-maintainer”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve exact absolute targets.
  2. Confirm each target is within the user's authorized scope.
  3. Stop or fix active producers before rotating/removing their output.
  4. Prefer repository-aware or recoverable operations.
  5. Remove only classified generated artifacts or proven-safe worktrees.
  6. Re-run the audit and a lightweight health check.
  7. Report target, reason, bytes reclaimed, and recoverability.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2676a5c. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Rudder Workspace Hygiene Maintainer loads about 664 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~664

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.

description
Use to audit or clean Rudder worktrees, generated artifacts, logs, caches, and repo-owned processes without deleting active work, user data, or unrelated machine state. Returns AUDIT, CLEANED, or BLOCKED.

Rudder Workspace Hygiene Maintainer

Make workspace cost visible and reclaim only space that is both proven safe and explicitly authorized.

Exclusive Outcome

  • AUDIT: read-only inventory and classified cleanup candidates.
  • CLEANED: exact authorized targets removed, with reclaimed space and post-cleanup health reported.
  • BLOCKED: safe classification or required cleanup authority is missing.

An audit is always allowed. Cleanup is allowed only for exact targets covered by the user's request.

Protected By Default

Never delete or rewrite the main checkout; dirty, unmerged, locked, or active worktrees; source or user-created data; ~/.rudder instances and databases; global caches; unrelated project state; or logs still being written before identifying and handling their producer.

Do not use broad unresolved globs, inferred environment variables, or recursive deletion against a workspace root.

Audit

Run the bundled read-only helper first:

bash
.agents/skills/maintainer/rudder-workspace-hygiene-maintainer/scripts/audit-workspace.sh

Add --sizes only when a slower serial disk scan is worthwhile.

Gross directory size is not reclaimable space. For every candidate, classify: registered worktree and branch; main/current/locked state; dirty/unmerged state; active repo-owned process; merge ancestry or other recoverability proof; generated versus user data; and exact expected reclaim.

Process reports must be scoped to registered Rudder worktree roots or an exact Rudder-owned signature. Report only redacted PID, PPID, elapsed time, RSS, executable, and owner; never dump full argv that may contain tokens.

Cleanup

  1. Resolve exact absolute targets.
  2. Confirm each target is within the user's authorized scope.
  3. Stop or fix active producers before rotating/removing their output.
  4. Prefer repository-aware or recoverable operations.
  5. Remove only classified generated artifacts or proven-safe worktrees.
  6. Re-run the audit and a lightweight health check.
  7. Report target, reason, bytes reclaimed, and recoverability.

For worktrees, “old” or “large” is insufficient. Protect any worktree that is dirty, unmerged, active, locked, current, or not proven recoverable from a remote/merged commit.
