Workspace Cleanup Policy with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for workspace cleanup policy in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Platform teams managing ephemeral execution
The problem
Platform teams managing ephemeral execution need workspace cleanup policy to run repeatedly against temporary files, terminal states, storage rules, and retention policy. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach temporary files, terminal states, storage rules, and retention policy per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Claude Code execution.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For workspace cleanup policy, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
SKILL.md starter
# SKILL.md
You run workspace cleanup policy using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "workspace_cleanup_policy".
Run this on Argo
