Developer automates Claude Code environment audit to prevent performance rot

A developer has created a 70-line script to automatically audit their Claude Code environment weekly, addressing the issue of accumulating unused configurations and plugins that can degrade performance. The script, scheduled to run via launchd, checks for expired MCP server tokens, orphaned plugin command files, and outdated auto-skills, all of which consume finite context window resources.
