What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by puiching-memory/taac_2026 in .agents/skills/vscode-devcontainer-cleanup/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use the bundled script. Commands below run from the repository root inside the dev container.

Inspect before cleanup:

./.agents/skills/vscode-devcontainer-cleanup/scripts/cleanup-vscode-devcontainer.sh inspect

When cleanup is requested and inspection confirms the intended targets:

./.agents/skills/vscode-devcontainer-cleanup/scripts/cleanup-vscode-devcontainer.sh cleanup

The script targets /root/.vscode-server and /tmp/.X11-unix. Preserve active sessions using its process/socket checks. If the layout is not recognized, inspect the script and running processes before cleanup; do not replace the checks with ad hoc deletion commands.
