name: ops-speedup description: Cross-platform, hardware-adaptive system optimizer. Auto-detects macOS / Linux / WSL / Windows (MINGW/Cygwin/MSYS2) and CPU/RAM/disk/GPU profile, then picks the right cleanup strategy. Scans reclaimable disk space, memory pressure, runaway processes, startup bloat, network issues. CleanMyMac built into Claude Code. argument-hint: "[scan|clean|deep|auto]" allowed-tools:

OPS > SPEEDUP — System Optimizer
Architecture
The bin/ops-speedup binary is the single source of truth for probes AND actions. This skill's job is to:
- Call the binary with the right flags based on user intent
- Parse the JSON
- Present a health score + cleanup report
- Confirm destructive actions per plugin Rule 5
- Invoke the binary's clean/deep/aggressive modes to execute
CLI Reference — bin/ops-speedup
| Command | Purpose | Side effects |
|---|---|---|
ops-speedup | Visual banner + hardware summary | None |
ops-speedup --json | Quick JSON diagnostics (disk/mem/net only) | None |
ops-speedup --scan | Full parallel probe: disk + mem + CPU hogs + power hogs + GPU/ANE + startup | None |
ops-speedup --clean | Safe cleanup: caches, tmp, logs, demote daemons, DNS flush, kernel tune | Non-destructive |
ops-speedup --deep | --clean + Trash, DerivedData, simulators, animation cuts, launch-agent kill | Removes files |
ops-speedup --aggressive | --deep + unload launch agents, docker --volumes, stale node_modules (>14d), TCP BBR | Potentially breaking — confirm first |
All modes:
- Auto-detect OS (macOS / Linux / WSL / Windows) and dispatch OS-specific ops
- Idempotent — skip DerivedData/Metro/journal if last run was <1h ago
- Write telemetry to
~/.ops-speedup/history.jsonl - Only raise kernel tuning parameters, never lower
- Protected processes list blocks killing of shells, IDEs, daemons

Phase 1 — Visual header
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup 2>/dev/null || echo "SCAN_FAILED"
Phase 2 — Full diagnostic scan (parallel, all probes)
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --scan 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'
The binary already runs all probes in parallel. Do NOT add additional serial probe calls from this skill — they will duplicate work that's already in the JSON output.
Phase 3 — Health score + cleanup report
Parse the JSON and render:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- RAM pressure < 20% free: -15
- RAM pressure < 40% free: -5

Phase 4 — Present cleanup choice (max 4 options per AskUserQuestion)
AskUserQuestion call 1 — Cleanup scope:
[Quick — caches, tmp, logs, DNS flush (~[N] GB)]
[Deep — + Trash, DerivedData, simulators, animation cuts (~[N] GB)]
[Aggressive — + launch-agent unload, stale node_modules, docker volumes (~[N] GB)]
[More options...]
AskUserQuestion call 2 (only if "More options..."):
[Custom — pick categories]
[Memory — kill top RAM hogs]
[Startup / Network / Skip...]
AskUserQuestion call 3 (only if "Startup / Network / Skip..."):
[Startup — review & disable launch agents / systemd units]
[Network — flush DNS, tune TCP, BBR (aggressive)]
[Skip — just show the report]
Phase 5 — Confirm destructive actions per Rule 5
Per plugin Rule 5, destructive actions require explicit per-action confirmation. Before running --aggressive:
About to run AGGRESSIVE cleanup. Each item is destructive:
• Unload launch agents: [list]
• Docker volume prune (may delete unmounted volumes): [N] MB
• Stale node_modules (>14 days): [list of paths]
• TCP congestion control → BBR (Linux only)
[Proceed with all] [Pick categories] [Cancel]
If "Pick categories", batch per Rule 1 (max 4 options per AskUserQuestion).
Phase 6 — Execute
Invoke the binary directly — it handles OS detection and dispatch:
# Quick clean
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --clean
# Deep clean
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --deep
# Aggressive (after confirmation)
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-speedup --aggressive
Memory hog killing (option 5 from Phase 4):
Top processes are already in the scan JSON (cpu_hogs / power_hogs). Present them in paginated AskUserQuestion calls (max 3 processes + [More...] per page, final page has [Kill selected] + [Skip]).
NEVER kill: kernel_task, launchd, WindowServer, loginwindow, Finder, Dock, systemd, init, shells (bash/zsh/fish), tmux, IDE processes (Cursor/Comet/Code), Claude, node, python, Xcode. The binary's PROTECTED_RE regex blocks these automatically.
Phase 7 — Results
After cleanup, re-scan and diff:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OPS > CLEANUP COMPLETE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Reclaimed: [N] GB
Disk free: [before] GB → [after] GB
RAM free: [before] MB → [after] MB
