Cleanup Surgeon

Scan directories, detect old/unused files, analyze importance with AI, and move junk to Recycle Bin. Presents a categorized report and asks confirmation before acting. Use when user says "clean up", "declutter", "organize files", "remove old stuff", "clear desktop", "free up space", "disk cleanup", "borrar archivos viejos", "ordenar carpetas", "limpiar". Do NOT use for system file cleanup, registry cleaning, or any destructive operation.

From the source SKILL.md

Scans Desktop, Downloads, TEMP, and other directories for old/unused files. Analyzes each file's metadata (creation date, last modified, last accessed, size, type). The agent uses AI judgment to classify files as safe-to-delete, review-needed, or keep. Always moves to Recycle Bin — never permanent delete.
