majiayu000 Repo Cleanup
Overview
Establish a safe, repeatable cleanup workflow for code, dependencies, docs, tests, and sprint artifacts. Minimize risk by validating usage, archiving before deletion, and verifying with tests.
When to Use
- Repository bloat (generated artifacts, caches, unused files)
- Dead code or unused dependencies suspected
- Docs drifted from actual behavior
- Tests are brittle, redundant, or mislocated
- Sprint closure needs structured archiving
Avoid when:
- Active incident response is ongoing
- The target area lacks owners or rollback coverage
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Code cleanup | skills/repo-cleanup/references/code-cleanup.md |
| Dependency cleanup | skills/repo-cleanup/references/deps-cleanup.md |
| Docs cleanup | skills/repo-cleanup/references/docs-cleanup.md |
| Test cleanup | skills/repo-cleanup/references/test-cleanup.md |
| Sprint archive | skills/repo-cleanup/references/archive-sprint.md |
Workflow
- Define scope and safety mode (safe vs aggressive).
- Capture baseline state (git status, key tests, backups).
- Load the relevant reference file(s) for the target area.
- Execute cleanup steps with usage checks before removal.
- Validate changes (tests, build, lint, or doc checks).
- Report outcomes (actions taken, risks, follow-ups).
Output
- Summary of actions and files touched
- Validation results and remaining risks
- Follow-up recommendations or backlog items
Common Mistakes
- Deleting without confirming usage or regenerability
- Skipping baseline tests and rollback checkpoints
- Removing dependencies without updating build/test scripts
- Collapsing docs without preserving entry points
