ops-speedup
Cross-platform, hardware-adaptive system optimizer. Auto-detects macOS / Linux / WSL / Windows (MINGW/Cygwin/MSYS2) and CPU/RAM/disk/GPU profile, then picks the right cleanup strategy. Scans reclaimable disk space, memory pressure, runaway processes, startup bloat, network issues. CleanMyMac built into Claude Code.
What this skill does
## Runtime Context
Before scanning, load:
1. **Preferences**: `cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json` — read `timezone` for timestamps
# OPS > SPEEDUP — System Optimizer
## Architecture
The `bin/ops-speedup` binary is the single source of truth for probes AND actions. This skill's job is to:
1. Call the binary with the right flags based on user intent
2. Parse the JSON
3. Present a health score + cleanup report
4. Confirm destructive actions per plugin Rule 5
5. Invoke the binary's clean/deep/aggressive modes to execute
## CLI Reference — `bin/ops-speedup`
| Command | Purpose | Side effects |
|---------|---------|--------------|
| `ops-speedup` | Visual banner + hardware summary | None |
| `ops-speedup --json` | Quick JSON diagnostics (disk/mem/net only) | None |
| `ops-speedup --scan` | Full parallel probe: disk + mem + CPU hogs + power hogs + GPU/ANE + startup | None |
| `ops-speedup --clean` | Safe cleanup: caches, tmp, logs, demote daemons, DNS flush, kernel tune | Non-destructive |
| `ops-speedup --deep` | `--clean` + Trash, DerivedData, simulators, animation cuts, launch-agent kill | Removes files |
| `ops-speedup --aggressive` | `--deep` + unload launch agents, docker `--volumes`, stale `node_modules` (>14d), TCP BBR | Potentially breaking — confirm first |
All modes:
- Auto-detect OS (macOS / Linux / WSL / Windows) and dispatch OS-specific ops
- Idempotent — skip DerivedData/Metro/journal if last run was <1h ago
- Write telemetry to `~/.ops-speedup/history.jsonl`
- Only raise kernel tuning parameters, never lower
- Protected processes list blocks killing of shells, IDEs, daemons

## Phase 1 — Visual header
```!
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup 2>/dev/null || echo "SCAN_FAILED"
```
## Phase 2 — Full diagnostic scan (parallel, all probes)
```!
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --scan 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'
```
The binary already runs all probes in parallel. Do NOT add additional serial probe calls from this skill — they will duplicate work that's already in the JSON output.
## Phase 3 — Health score + cleanup report
Parse the JSON and render:
```

- RAM pressure < 20% free: -15
- RAM pressure < 40% free: -5

- > 10GB reclaimable: -20
## Phase 4 — Present cleanup choice (max 4 options per AskUserQuestion)
AskUserQuestion call 1 — Cleanup scope:
```
[Quick — caches, tmp, logs, DNS flush (~[N] GB)]
[Deep — + Trash, DerivedData, simulators, animation cuts (~[N] GB)]
[Aggressive — + launch-agent unload, stale node_modules, docker volumes (~[N] GB)]
[More options...]
```
AskUserQuestion call 2 (only if "More options..."):
```
[Custom — pick categories]
[Memory — kill top RAM hogs]
[Startup / Network / Skip...]
```
AskUserQuestion call 3 (only if "Startup / Network / Skip..."):
```
[Startup — review & disable launch agents / systemd units]
[Network — flush DNS, tune TCP, BBR (aggressive)]
[Skip — just show the report]
```
## Phase 5 — Confirm destructive actions per Rule 5
Per plugin Rule 5, destructive actions require explicit per-action confirmation. Before running `--aggressive`:
```
About to run AGGRESSIVE cleanup. Each item is destructive:
• Unload launch agents: [list]
• Docker volume prune (may delete unmounted volumes): [N] MB
• Stale node_modules (>14 days): [list of paths]
• TCP congestion control → BBR (Linux only)
[Proceed with all] [Pick categories] [Cancel]
```
If "Pick categories", batch per Rule 1 (max 4 options per `AskUserQuestion`).
## Phase 6 — Execute
Invoke the binary directly — it handles OS detection and dispatch:
```bash
# Quick clean
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --clean
# Deep clean
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --deep
# Aggressive (after confirmation)
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --aggressive
```
**Memory hog killing (option 5 from Phase 4):**
Top processes are already in the scan JSON (`cpu_hogs` / `power_hogs`). Present them in paginated `AskUserQuestion` calls (max 3 processes + `[More...]` per page, final page has `[Kill selected]` + `[Skip]`).
**NEVER kill**: kernel_task, launchd, WindowServer, loginwindow, Finder, Dock, systemd, init, shells (bash/zsh/fish), tmux, IDE processes (Cursor/Comet/Code), Claude, node, python, Xcode. The binary's PROTECTED_RE regex blocks these automatically.
## Phase 7 — Results
After cleanup, re-scan and diff:
```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OPS > CLEANUP COMPLETE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Reclaimed: [N] GB
Disk free: [before] GB → [after] GB
RAM free: [before] MB → [after] MB
Swap: [before] MB → [after] MB
Health: [before]/100 → [after]/100
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
History: ~/.ops-speedup/history.jsonl
```
If user came from `/ops:dash`, offer `b) Back to dashboard`.
## Mode shortcuts
If `$ARGUMENTS` is:
- `scan` or empty — Phase 1-3 only (report, no cleanup)
- `clean` — run `ops-speedup --clean` automatically (safe)
- `deep` — run `ops-speedup --deep` automatically (after 1 confirmation)
- `auto` — run `ops-speedup --clean` automatically, print results
- `aggressive` — run `ops-speedup --aggressive` after per-item confirmations

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
