SKILL-004: Clean Build Artifacts

Overview

Build artifacts can accumulate and cause subtle build errors or disk bloat. This skill "deep cleans" a workspace by removing generated folders that match standard patterns.

Trigger Phrases

  • clean artifacts
  • clean build
  • wipe bin obj
  • reset workspace

Inputs

Parameter Type Required Default Description
--target string[] No bin,obj,node_modules Folders to remove
--dry-run switch No False List what would be deleted

Outputs

  1. Console log of deleted paths.
  2. Space reclaimed summary.

Safety/QA Checks

  1. Git Check: Uses git clean -fdX if possible (safest).
  2. Explicit List: If not git, only deletes explicit target list (bin, obj).
  3. No Source Code: Never deletes .cs, .py, etc.

Implementation

See clean_artifacts.ps1.
