Show HN: Claude Code Routine Session Cleanup Skill (github.com)

A new skill for the Claude desktop app, called Routine Cleanup, has been introduced to streamline the management of scheduled tasks by allowing users to bulk-delete old session runs. Previously, each task execution contributed to a buildup of 700+ sessions per month, causing performance issues and excessive disk space usage. The Routine Cleanup skill enables users to retain a specified number of recent runs while efficiently deleting older, redundant ones, thus enhancing overall app performance. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it addresses a common issue in session management that can hinder usability in AI applications. By providing a way to distinguish between important user engagements and trivial automated runs, Routine Cleanup ensures that necessary information remains accessible while minimizing clutter. Key technical features include a preview of deletion plans for user approval and integration with the Claude app's existing session management system, which prevents “ghost” entries from lingering in the Runs list. This improvement not only simplifies routine maintenance but also empowers users to manage their interaction history more effectively.
