Install command

clawhub install ashirbadgudu/npkill

What it does

npkill scans your filesystem for node_modules and .next folders, displays their sizes, and lets you delete them interactively or automatically. It targets build artifacts that accumulate across JavaScript and Next.js projects over time.

Why it's useful

Manually hunting down node_modules with find commands shows no size info and misses nested folders; npkill lists everything with sizes and supports selective deletion in one pass.

Use cases

Freeing disk space before a large system update
Clearing out old side projects no longer in active development
Removing stale .next build caches after upgrading Next.js
Finding which projects have the largest node_modules folders
Running a weekly cleanup of the local development workspace
