Clean Project Files

Clean up temporary files and archive useful markdown.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Purpose

After tasks/updates, clean up the project:

  1. Delete truly temporary files (test outputs, scratch, debug logs)
  2. Archive potentially useful markdown (drafts, notes, old versions)
  3. Keep project directory clean while preserving history

Execution Instructions

Step 1: Scan for Files to Clean

Look in project root and common locations for:

Temporary files (to DELETE):

  • *_test.md, test_*.md
  • scratch*.md, temp*.md, tmp*.md
  • debug*.md, *_debug.md
  • *.log (unless in logs/ folder)
  • output*.md, *_output.md
  • Files with DELETE or TEMP in name

Potentially useful markdown (to ARCHIVE):

  • draft_*.md, *_draft.md
  • notes_*.md, *_notes.md
  • research_*.md
  • old_*.md, *_old.md, *_backup.md
  • v1_*.md, *_v1.md (old versions)
  • Any .md file in root that's not part of standard structure
  • User-created markdown during session

Step 2: Parse Optional Query

If query provided, focus on:

  • Specific pattern: /pp-clean test files
  • Specific folder: /pp-clean webhook/
  • Specific action: /pp-clean archive only or /pp-clean delete only

Step 3: Show Preview

## Cleanup Preview

### To DELETE (temporary files)
- scratch_booking.md
- test_output.md
- debug_log.md

### To ARCHIVE (move to .context/project/archive/)
- draft_system_prompt.md
- research_notes.md
- old_booking_flow.md

### No Action
- (files that look fine)

---
Proceed with cleanup? (yes/no/edit)

If user says "edit", allow them to:

  • Move items between delete/archive
  • Skip specific files
  • Add files to clean

Step 4: Execute Cleanup

Delete temporary files:

rm {temp_files}

Archive useful markdown:

# Create dated archive subfolder if multiple files
mkdir -p .context/project/archive/cleanup_{date}
mv {markdown_files} .context/project/archive/cleanup_{date}/

Or if single file:

mv {file} .context/project/archive/{file}

Step 5: Update CHANGELOG

Add entry to appropriate CHANGELOG:

## {DATE} | Cleanup

**Deleted**:
- scratch_booking.md
- test_output.md

**Archived**:
- draft_system_prompt.md → archive/cleanup_{date}/
- research_notes.md → archive/cleanup_{date}/

**Context**:
- Post-task cleanup
- {query context if provided}

Step 6: Confirm Completion

## Cleanup Complete

**Deleted**: 3 temporary files
**Archived**: 2 markdown files → archive/cleanup_{date}/

Project directory is clean.

Auto-Trigger Integration

This cleanup logic should also run:

  • After /pp-update completes
  • After major task completion
  • Before commits (optional)

When auto-triggered, still show preview and get confirmation.

Query Examples

# General cleanup
/pp-clean

# Focus on specific pattern
/pp-clean test files

# Focus on specific folder
/pp-clean webhook/

# Archive only (no deletions)
/pp-clean archive only

# Delete only (no archiving)
/pp-clean delete only

# With context
/pp-clean after completing booking flow

Safety Rules

  1. Always show preview first
  2. Always get confirmation
  3. Never delete .md files that might be useful - archive them
  4. Never touch:
    • .context/project/ structure files
    • Files in prds/, docs/ folders
    • .env, config files
    • Source code files
  5. Log everything in CHANGELOG

File Patterns Reference

Safe to DELETE

*_test.md, test_*.md
scratch*.md, temp*.md, tmp*.md
debug*.md, *_debug.md
output*.md, *_output.md
*.log (loose logs)
*DELETE*, *TEMP*

Should ARCHIVE

draft_*.md, *_draft.md
notes_*.md, *_notes.md
research_*.md
old_*.md, *_old.md, *_backup.md
v[0-9]_*.md, *_v[0-9].md
Loose .md files not in structure

Never Touch

.context/project/**/*.md (structure files)
prds/*.md, docs/*.md
README.md, CLAUDE.md
.env, *.json, *.py, *.js, etc.
