SKILL-004: Clean Build Artifacts

Overview

Build artifacts can accumulate and cause subtle build errors or disk bloat. This skill "deep cleans" a workspace by removing generated folders that match standard patterns.

Trigger Phrases

clean artifacts
clean build
wipe bin obj
reset workspace

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`--target`	string[]	No	`bin`,`obj`,`node_modules`	Folders to remove
`--dry-run`	switch	No	False	List what would be deleted

Outputs

Console log of deleted paths.
Space reclaimed summary.

Safety/QA Checks

Git Check: Uses git clean -fdX if possible (safest).
Explicit List: If not git, only deletes explicit target list (bin, obj).
No Source Code: Never deletes .cs, .py, etc.

Implementation

See clean_artifacts.ps1.
