factory-clean

What this skill does

factory-clean is the resource-reclamation engine of the software factory. It answers two questions and acts on the second: what is this project costing this machine right now, and what can be reclaimed without destroying work or interrupting an agent that is still running?

It operates as a Kind-B control-plane skill that reads the run registry, identifies active worktrees, and cleans up discarded/stale artifacts.

When to use

• After multiple parallel runs, to see which worktrees are safely removable and reclaim disk space.
• To clean up abandoned or stale locks and leases.
• To verify that no uncommitted or unpushed work is accidentally lost.

When NOT to use:

• For routine code development or PR review (use factory-mission or factory-review).
• To force-delete unpushed git commits or uncommitted files (this skill never deletes unsafe work).
