9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Tidy Skill?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Tidy Skill with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

What Tidy Skill does

Governs where AI-agent-created files (plans, todos, reports, caches) are allowed to live, and scores a repo's artifact hygiene with a real Python/PowerShell scanner. Triggers on repo cleanup, hygiene scoring, workspace cache audits, and WSL2/Docker/C-drive growth questions; stays out of source code and tool-state directories.

How to install Tidy Skill

git clone https://github.com/Phoenix0531-sudo/tidy-skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r tidy-skill/skills/tidy-skill ~/.claude/skills/tidy-skill

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Tidy Skill

score how tidy my workspace is before I hand it to a teammate
why is my WSL2 disk filling up with cache junk from agents?
