maintaining-macos-health
From the author
Hands-on playbook for macOS disk cleanup, dev-machine optimization, and proactive health alerting. Use when the Mac is full or slow, when a process persistently burns CPU, when a kernel panic / watchdog timeout / vm-compressor-space-shortage / Jetsam event happened, when the user asks to free disk space, audit storage, set up disk/memory/CPU alerts, or restore the same monitoring on a new Mac. Built around Mole (`mo` CLI) for safety guards plus a custom LaunchAgent-based alerter for active warnings. Covers Apple Silicon laptops with heavy AI/Docker workloads. Not for general macOS support, hardware diagnostics, networking issues, GUI / window-manager bugs, Time Machine recovery, or broken app installs.

- maintaining-windows-healthCodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-developmentHands-on playbook for Windows 11 disk cleanup, dev-machine optimization, and proactive health alerting. Use when the PC is full or slow, when a BSOD / Kernel-Power 41 / crash dump / commit-memory pressure happened, when the user asks to free disk space, audit storage, set up disk/memory alerts, or restore the same monitoring on a new PC. Built around native Microsoft-supported tooling (Storage Sense, cleanmgr, DISM, pnputil, vssadmin, wevtutil, powercfg) as the safety floor, a drift-protected HTML cleanup UI, and a Task Scheduler + BurntToast alerter. Covers dev machines with heavy AI/Docker/WSL workloads. Not for general Windows support, hardware diagnostics, GPU/driver troubleshooting, antivirus/malware removal, Windows Update repair, networking, or app-specific performance problems unrelated to disk or memory pressure.Security★ 166
- xcode-disk-cleanupAvdLee/Xcode-Disk-Cleanup-Agent-SkillAudit and safely clean Xcode-related developer storage on macOS. Use whenever a developer mentions low disk space, Xcode storage, DerivedData, simulator devices or runtimes, stale beta platforms in Xcode Settings, DeviceSupport, archives, dSYMs, CocoaPods caches, simulator dyld caches, project .build folders, downloaded Xcode DMGs/XIPs, duplicate Xcode installers, or old Xcode applications. Also use this skill proactively when you hit low storage during other work, such as a build, download, or install failing with an out-of-disk-space error. Always measure first, report recoverable GiB with evidence, and obtain explicit itemized approval before any mutation.Other★ 76

- monitoringericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when setting up uptime and health monitoring, alerts, or on-call basics for a service already in production, so you learn it is down before customers do — health and readiness probes, alerting on SLO error-budget burn rather than raw counts, curing alert fatigue, on-call rotation with escalation, and a status page. NOT instrumenting logs, metrics or traces, or wiring OpenTelemetry (that is `observability`).DevOps★ 272
