What puremac-macos-cleaner does

PureMac is a native SwiftUI utility that cleans user caches, package manager directories from pip and npm, and developer leftovers like DerivedData or simulators. It frees APFS purgeable space via tmutil. No network calls happen. All file operations remain strictly local.

The skill instructs your agent on extending the Swift codebase. You can register custom targets inside CleanCategory.swift, add scanning logic in ScannerService.swift, and wire deletions in CleanerService.swift. Automatic sweeps run on intervals from hourly to monthly.

Compiling from source demands macOS 13.0+, Swift 5.9, Xcode 15+, and xcodegen. Items over 100 MB or older than 1 year are never removed automatically.

What it helps with

  • build PureMac from source using xcodegen and xcodebuild
  • purge Xcode DerivedData, simulator caches, and Homebrew data
  • register new scanning categories in CleanCategory.swift
  • set up recurring macOS cache cleanup intervals

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show me how to build PureMac from source with xcodebuild
  • Help me add a Gradle cache cleaning option to CleanCategory.swift
  • Configure PureMac to run an automatic clean sweep daily
