Description
Quickly free up disk space on your Mac by safely removing user cache files via a Terminal command without affecting personal data.
Usage Guidance
This skill tells you to run `rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*`, which will permanently delete cached files. Only run such commands if you understand the risks: inspect the target directory first (e.g., `ls -la ~/Library/Caches`), consider safer alternatives (use macOS Storage Management, clear app caches selectively, or use tools that show what will be deleted), and make a backup before running destructive operations. Because the skill's source is unknown and the SKILL.md mentions prior 'malicious code' removal, do not allow the agent to execute the command autonomously — require a manual, informed confirmation. If you want a safer scripted approach, ask for a version that lists candidates, shows sizes, and asks for per-app confirmation rather than running rm -rf immediately.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: reclaim-disk-space-on-your-mac
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious primarily due to an explicit statement in `SKILL.md` (in Russian) indicating that 'malicious code has been removed' and replaced with the current command. While the current command, `rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*`, is a legitimate operation for clearing user caches on macOS, the developer's admission of prior malicious content raises significant concerns about the skill's origin and trustworthiness. The use of `rm -rf` itself, though targeted, is a powerful and potentially risky command.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and instructions align: reclaiming disk space by removing user cache files is consistent with the stated purpose. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or config access.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md tells users (or the agent) to run a destructive command: `rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*`. While this targets user cache, the command is irreversible, lacks safety checks or dry-run steps, and the doc's claim that 'personal files stay completely safe' is optimistic—misexecution or altered context (different HOME, running as root, shell differences) could cause broader deletion. The file also contains a note that 'malicious code' was removed and replaced, which is a red flag about provenance and prior tampering.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — low install-surface risk.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The skill does not ask for unrelated secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is user-invocable and not always-enabled (normal). The agent may invoke the skill autonomously (platform default). Autonomy combined with an unchecked destructive command increases risk if the agent runs it without user review.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install reclaim-disk-space-on-your-mac - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/reclaim-disk-space-on-your-mac - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
