Delete what doesn't serve. Don't hoard. Dead code rots. Clutter obscures signal. Be ruthless. Subtraction can be more powerful than addition. Empty space has value.
Purge is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/purge/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when eliminating, removing, or cutting away—deleting unused code, removing clutter, or when the user asks to "get rid of" or "clean out".
The Purge Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
