name: envoic description: >- Scan, audit, and clean up Python virtual environments (.venv, conda), node_modules, and development artifacts consuming disk space. Use when the user mentions disk space, environment cleanup, stale venvs, node_modules bloat, project cleanup, broken environments, dangling symlinks, or asks about disk usage from development tools. Also use when encountering ENOSPC errors, slow installs from cache bloat, or when onboarding into a project and needing to verify environment health. license: BSD-3-Clause compatibility: >- Requires uvx (from uv) or pip for Python scanning. Requires npx (from Node.js 18+) or npm for JavaScript scanning. Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. metadata: author: mahimailabs version: "0.0.1" repository: https://github.com/mahimailabs/envoic

envoic - Environment Scanner and Cleanup Skill

Use envoic to discover and safely clean Python virtual environments, node_modules, and development artifacts.

Quick Start

uvx envoic scan .
uvx envoic manage . --dry-run
npx envoic scan . --deep

If uvx is unavailable, install Python package with pip install envoic. If npx is unavailable, install JS package with npm install -g envoic.

Primary Workflows

1) Onboarding Health Check

1. Run uvx envoic info .venv (or npx envoic info node_modules).
2. If environment is broken or stale, propose delete-and-recreate steps.

2) Disk Space Recovery

1. Run uvx envoic scan <root> --deep and/or npx envoic scan <root> --deep.
2. Identify largest stale candidates.
3. Run manage --dry-run, then actual cleanup only after confirmation.

3) Build/Test Artifact Cleanup

1. Scan project root.
2. Prefer deleting SAFE artifacts first.
3. Warn for CAREFUL artifacts.

Safety Contract

1. Always scan before delete.
2. Prefer --dry-run before destructive operations.
3. Never delete lock files or project manifest files.
4. Require explicit user confirmation for non-dry-run cleanup.
