NPkill - Node.js and Next.js Build Artifact Cleaner
This skill leverages the npkill tool to clean up node_modules and .next folders that accumulate over time from JavaScript and Next.js development, freeing up significant disk space.
Purpose
This skill addresses a common problem faced by JavaScript and Next.js developers: accumulation of large build artifact folders (node_modules, .next) that consume significant disk space over time. It provides a safe and efficient way to identify and remove these unnecessary folders.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when: Your disk space is running low due to accumulated node_modules folders You want to clean up old Next.js build artifacts (.next folders) You need to maintain a clean development environment You want to identify which projects are consuming the most disk space You want to perform regular maintenance on your development workspace
Interactive Cleanup (Recommended)
npkill Launches the interactive interface to browse and selectively delete node_modules folders. This is the safest method as it allows you to review each folder before deletion.
Target .next Folders Specifically
npkill --target .next Search specifically for .next folders (used by Next.js projects) instead of node_modules.
Dry Run (Always Recommended First)
npkill --dry-run Simulates the operation without actually deleting anything. Shows what would be deleted.
Automated Cleanup (Use with Caution)
npkill --delete-all --yes Automatically deletes all node_modules folders found. Use only after verifying with dry-run.
View Sizes in Gigabytes
npkill --gb Shows folder sizes in gigabytes instead of megabytes for easier reading.
Scan from Specific Directory
npkill --directory /path/to/search/from Starts searching from a specific directory instead of current directory.
Safety Features
Warnings for Protected Directories: npkill highlights system/app directories that shouldn't be deleted with a โ ๏ธ symbol Interactive Confirmation: Manual selection required in interactive mode Dry-run Option: Preview changes before executing any deletions Exclusion Options: Ability to exclude specific directories from scanning
Clean .next Folders Safely
# First, preview what would be deleted npkill --target .next --dry-run # Then, if satisfied with the preview, run interactively npkill --target .next
Regular Maintenance
# Run interactive cleanup to review and selectively delete npkill
Check Disk Usage
# View all node_modules folders sorted by size npkill --sort=size
Best Practices
Always run with --dry-run first to see what would be deleted Review warnings carefully about protected directories marked with โ ๏ธ Use interactive mode for safer selective deletion Consider excluding important project directories using --exclude if needed Schedule regular cleanup to prevent massive accumulation
Installation Requirements
This skill requires the npkill CLI tool to be installed globally: npm install -g npkill
Limitations
Requires npkill to be installed separately May not detect all protected system directories in all environments Interactive mode requires terminal with arrow key support
