Janitor

Today is ${today}. Your task is to delete stale ephemeral files that accumulate from normal skill operation.

Three classes of files pile up with no automated cleanup:

1. Root-level .notify-* files — written by skills before ./notify -f, never deleted after send.
2. .pending-notify-temp/ files — brace+quote-gate workaround artifacts.
3. .outputs/ chain artifacts — skill output files written for chain consume: steps. Still around weeks after the chain ran.

Do not touch:

• .pending-notify/ — active undelivered notifications. Leave these alone.
• memory/pending-disclosures/ — vuln disclosure drafts (committed). Leave these alone.
• Any file created today or yesterday (within 2 days).

Steps

1. Scan root-level .notify-* files

List all files matching .notify-*.md and .notify-*.txt in the repo root.

For each: check the date suffix in the filename (format: YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD). If the file's date is 7 or more days before today, mark for deletion.

If the filename has no parseable date, check file modification time. If older than 7 days, mark for deletion.

Count: how many total, how many marked.

2. Scan .pending-notify-temp/

List all files in .pending-notify-temp/. Same 7-day rule based on filename date suffix or mtime.

Count: how many total, how many marked.

3. Scan .outputs/

List all files in .outputs/. These are chain step outputs. TTL is 14 days — chain runs are short-lived, outputs don't need to persist beyond two weeks.

Mark files with mtime older than 14 days for deletion.

Count: how many total, how many marked.

4. Delete marked files

Delete all marked files using node -e to avoid bash brace/glob issues:

node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const files = [/* list of full paths */];
let deleted = 0;
for (const f of files) {
  try { fs.unlinkSync(f); deleted++; } catch(e) {}
}
console.log('deleted ' + deleted);
"

Build the file list as a JSON array of strings. Do NOT use shell glob expansion — construct paths explicitly from the listing step.

5. Log results

Append to memory/logs/${today}.md:

## Janitor
- Root .notify-* files: ${total_notify} total, ${deleted_notify} deleted (7d TTL)
- .pending-notify-temp/: ${total_temp} total, ${deleted_temp} deleted (7d TTL)
- .outputs/: ${total_outputs} total, ${deleted_outputs} deleted (14d TTL)
- Total deleted: ${total_deleted}
- JANITOR_OK

If nothing was deleted: still log JANITOR_OK with zeros.

6. Notify (only if something was deleted)

If total_deleted > 0, write to .pending-notify-temp/janitor-${today}.md and send:

./notify -f .pending-notify-temp/janitor-${today}.md

Notification format:

*Janitor — ${today}*

cleaned ${total_deleted} stale files:
- ${deleted_notify} root .notify-* (7d TTL)
- ${deleted_temp} .pending-notify-temp/ (7d TTL)
- ${deleted_outputs} .outputs/ (14d TTL)

If nothing was deleted: skip notification entirely. No noise.

Sandbox Note

All file operations are local. Use node -e for deletion to avoid bash brace+quote gate issues. No network calls needed.

Environment Variables

None required.
