Find and safely reclaim memory and disk a developer machine is wasting — stray build daemons, stale caches, dead build output, oversized package stores, abandoned git worktrees. Use when the disk is full or nearly full, a build or install fails with ENOSPC / "no space left on device", the machine is slow or swapping, many node/tsserver/gradle/nx processes are running, the user asks what is taking up space, or asks to clean up worktrees, caches, node_modules or target directories.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# chaff chaff separates live work from dead weight on a developer machine and cleans up in safety tiers. Everything it removes goes to a trash that `chaff restore` can undo. ## Which interface to use 1. **MCP tools** (`chaff_status`, `chaff_plan`, `chaff_doctor`, `chaff_worktrees`, `chaff_reap`, `chaff_clean`) if the chaff MCP server is connected. Prefer these. 2. **Claude Code plugin**: `/chaff:plan`, `/chaff:clean`, `/chaff:status`. 3. **CLI**: `chaff <command>`, or `npx @gulsahsarsilmaz/chaff <command>` when it is not installed. The npm package is scoped; `npm install chaff` is a different package. ## The tiers - **Tier 1, dead.** The project, worktree or parent process it belonged to is gone. Removing it costs nothing. - **Tier 2, idle.** Nothing running, nothing touched it recently. Costs a cold rebuild, a daemon restart or a re-download. - **Tier 3, live.** Running tasks, active builds, worktrees that may hold uncommitted work. Costs real work. ## How to work 1. **Look first.** Run `chaff_status` / `chaff status` to see the pressure, then `chaff_plan` / `chaff plan` to see what would be cleaned. Both change nothing. …

How to install
mdr add gulsahsarsilmaz/chaff/chaff@sha256:227b1abc4f0fbcd1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.bd96979, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
