What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you terminate orphaned Claude Code processes and clean up the ~/.claude/ directory to reclaim system resources and maintain a tidy work environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Process cleanup: Identify and terminate Claude Code processes that have no controlling terminal or are orphaned.
  • Directory cleanup: Remove accumulated temporary files in ~/.claude/ while preserving important or recently modified data.
  • Safe operation: Never kills active sessions or the current process; supports dry-run and force modes for safety.

Quick Start

To refresh Claude Code resources, run the script to terminate orphaned processes and clean up the directory. Example basic commands:

  • Dry-run: .claude/scripts/claude-refresh.sh --dry-run
  • Force cleanup: .claude/scripts/claude-refresh.sh --force
  • Cleanup status: .claude/scripts/claude-cleanup.sh
