Cache Cleanup

Remove old cached plugin versions from ~/.claude/plugins/cache/. Claude Code keeps every version it has ever downloaded — this skill prunes all but the latest version of each plugin.

Workflow

  1. Scan (dry-run): Always run the script in dry-run mode first:

    node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/cleanup.js" --dry-run

  2. Report: Show the user the output — which old versions would be removed and how much space would be freed. If no old versions are found, tell the user the cache is already clean and stop.

  3. Confirm: Use the AskUserQuestion tool with a yes/no question to ask the user if they want to proceed with deletion. Do NOT delete without explicit confirmation via this tool.

  4. Delete: Only after the user confirms, run:

    node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/cleanup.js" --delete

  5. Report results: Show the user what was deleted and total space freed.
