0:00The more people use Clot, the more they
0:01add to it. More skills, connectors,
0:04scheduled tasks, context files,
0:05artifacts, and hundreds of chats. That's
0:08a good thing because that's how Cloud
0:09gets more useful. But barely anyone
0:11actually maintains, cleans, or optimizes
0:14this entire setup. So, it becomes
0:15impossible to find old chats. We have
0:17dozens of skills we never use. Clot
0:19still uses outdated roles and contexts
0:21that changed months ago, and scheduled
0:23tasks quietly fail. And besides this
0:25becoming an overwhelming experience
0:27every time you open up Claude, a big
0:29part of this bloated setup also loads
0:31into every single chat. So instead of
0:32CLA getting better, it gets slower,
0:34messier, and more expensive. So in this
0:36video, I'll show you how to keep your
0:38entire clot setup clean with one skill
0:40that I built that you can download for
0:42free in the first link in the
0:43description. I'll show you how this
0:44detox skill cleans up and optimizes
0:47everything from your clot interface,
0:49chats, projects, artifacts, skills,
0:51schedule tasks, and even your context or
0:54your second brain if you have one. And
0:55show you how you can automatically run
0:57it every week to get the most out of
0:59cloth. And if you're new here, I'm Ben.
1:00I'm a three-time founder and I run an AI
1:02agency and one of the largest AI
1:04communities where I help professionals
1:05and business owners get real results
1:07with AI. Now, before I show you the
1:08skill, why does maintaining your clot
1:10setup actually matter so much? Even
1:12Boris Jurnney, who created Cloud Code,
1:15said himself, "My setup might be
1:16surprisingly vanilla." And it's because
1:18a clean setup is important because of
1:20four big reasons. First, it's for you.
1:22Of course, the fewer chats, skills, and
1:25files you have to dig through, the more
1:26productive you'll get. It's basically
1:28like working at a clean desk instead of
1:30a messy one. Second, it will lead to
1:32better outputs. Every rule, memory,
1:34file, skill, and connector is something
1:36Clot takes into account. So, when
1:38they're outdated, they contradict each
1:40other or are irrelevant. clock gets
1:42confused, follows an old rule, or uses a
1:44skill nobody asked for. Thirdly, it will
1:46impact your context and usage limit.
1:48Now, many people don't know this, but a
1:50big part of this setup loads into every
1:52chat before you even type a message.
1:54Your skill descriptions, your
1:56connectors, your memory, and CLMD files.
1:59It all loads into the context window,
2:01even when you don't use it, which burns
2:03through your usage far faster and
2:05affects CLA's performance. And lastly,
2:07another big reason for this is that
2:09every time a new better model comes out,
2:11a lot of the rules people wrote for the
2:13older ones aren't needed anymore. And
2:15some even hold these new models back.
2:17And that's why Tariq from the Cloud Code
2:19team also says that when a better model
2:20comes out, the most important first
2:22thing you should try is to remove
2:24instructions. And with new models coming
2:26out every few months, Tar himself says
2:28that harnesses go out of date very
2:30quickly. So while building and adding is
2:32the exciting part of course the best
2:34cloud users also make sure their harness
2:36which is essentially everything around
2:38the model stays clean optimized and up
2:41to date but because of course that's
2:42boring to do I've made it really easy to
2:44do with our detox scale which you can
2:46just download by going to the first link
2:48in the description uploading it to your
2:50clot account and running it with /
2:52detox. Now you can run this skill either
2:54in the clot code tab or in the co-work
2:55tab. In the co-work tab, it will have
2:57some limitations compared to how it
2:59works in the cloud code tab, but it will
3:01still be extremely valuable. So, what
3:02does it do? It essentially audits,
3:04cleans, and fixes five parts of your
3:06cloud setup. Your interface, your
3:09skills, your memory and context files,
3:11your connectors, and your scheduled
3:13tasks. So, when you run it, it sends out
3:15five sub agents, one for each part of
3:18your setup. So, every part gets properly
3:20audited at the same time without filling
3:22up your context window. It then puts
3:24everything it found into one big page.
3:26On that page, it will lay out everything
3:27it found across each part of your setup.
3:30Uh for every single item inside of it,
3:32Clot will suggest a fix like archive or
3:35delete or a change. You can then still
3:37change what happens to each item or
3:39leave a comment on it. And if you're
3:41happy with the suggestions, you can just
3:43approve them all by just clicking begin
3:45optimizing and Claude will organize and
3:47clean up everything for you
3:48automatically. For example, when I ran
3:50it on my own setup, it found 239 things
3:53to clean up. It deleted some old
3:55sessions, grouped sessions, spotted fa
3:57failed connectors, fixed my context
4:00files and cluttered MD, and much much
4:02more. And after it was finished, it also
4:04saved around 15,000 wasted tokens uh for
4:07every single new chat I start. I now run
4:09this detox scale automatically on a
4:11scheduled task every two weeks to make
4:13sure my clot setup is cleaned up and
4:15optimized consistently which you can
4:16just do by uh setting up a scheduled
4:18task say run the detox scale and uh
4:21setting the schedule for every week or
4:23every two weeks. Now the skill will do
4:24all of this for you but it really helps
4:26to understand what it actually audits
4:27and fixes. So let me go through it
4:30starting with the interface. Now, by
4:31interface, I mean everything you see and
4:33click in cloth. Your chats, pin chats,
4:36projects, artifacts, uh, like your
4:38dashboards and slides, and your mods,
4:40which are basically small add-ons that
4:42change how clot code looks and behaves.
4:44So, these are the first things the detox
4:46skill looks at because cleaning this up
4:48already takes away a lot of that
4:50overwhelm. So, firstly, it'll go through
4:51your chats to find all the ones you
4:53don't need or use anymore, like test
4:55chats, one-off questions, and personal
4:57chats. It already suggests what to do
4:59with each one. uh you can still decide
5:01if you want to archive or delete them
5:03and then archive chat you can always uh
5:05bring back. Then it also suggests
5:06groupings for all the chats that are
5:08left. For example, in my case, it
5:10grouped chats by YouTube videos. And
5:12once I approve, it moves them into these
5:14groups automatically. And this is
5:15honestly one of my favorite things this
5:17skill does because I also always had a
5:19problem with finding my chats. But keep
5:20in mind, this grouping feature only
5:22exists in the cloud code tab. You also
5:24look at your pin chats if you're
5:25actually still using them. It'll suggest
5:27unpinning old ones and pinning uh chats
5:29you come back to frequently. It also
5:31looks at all your artifacts like your
5:33dashboards, designs, docs, slides, and
5:35motion graphics. It finds the ones you
5:37haven't used in a while with a link to
5:39each so you can check before changing or
5:41deleting anything. And lastly, also
5:43check your mods if you've already been
5:45using them first. It checks if you have
5:47any, and if you do, it lists each one,
5:49whether it's switched on or off, and if
5:51you've actually been using it, and then
5:53suggests the ones to switch off. Now,
5:54honestly, cleaning up your interface
5:56like this every week or two has been a
5:58real game changer for my productivity.
5:59So, this alone is already extremely
6:01valuable, but it also solves another big
6:03problem I've been facing, which is
6:05ending up with dozens or even hundreds
6:07of skills that I haven't used in months.
6:09Now, if you're still unfamiliar, a skill
6:11is basically just a saved how-to file
6:13that teaches Clot how to do a task your
6:16way. And once people start building
6:17them, they often end up downloading and
6:20building lots of them. Uh, which creates
6:22a couple of problems. Firstly, some
6:24skills will overlap or do similar things
6:26and you don't know which ones to use
6:28anymore. Second, you often end up with
6:30duplicate ones and different versions.
6:33Third, some skills might fire by
6:34accident in tasks where you don't want
6:36them to be fired. And lastly, every
6:38skill cost context and tokens because
6:41the descriptions of every skill loads
6:43into every chat, even if you don't use
6:45these skills. So, the detox skill
6:47basically first finds every skill you
6:49have, where it lives, so you can find
6:51duplicate ones. Then, it checks which
6:53skills you haven't used in a while,
6:55which ones overlap, and which ones fire
6:57when you didn't ask for them. You then
6:59get one clean table sorted by category
7:01with when you last used each skill, how
7:03much context they cost, and whether
7:05Claude suggest keeping or removing it.
7:07You can still check, and once you
7:09approve, it will clean your skill set up
7:11instantly. And for scales that keep
7:12firing by accident, it can even add one
7:14line to the top of the scale file called
7:16disable model invocation, which means we
7:19can essentially turn the auto trigger
7:21off for the skill. So, it can only fire
7:23when you use the slash command. This is
7:25honestly my preferred way of using
7:26skills, and it's also good because it
7:28stops the description from loading into
7:30every chat, which saves you tokens and
7:32context, too. Now, in my case, for
7:34example, I had 156 skills loaded, and
7:36I'd only used eight of them in the last
7:3830 days. It also found 10 skills sitting
7:41in more than one place and 15 that
7:43basically do the same job, like four old
7:45LinkedIn writer skills next to the ones
7:47I actually use. And in clot code, this
7:49unused skill list alone was costing me
7:51about 10,000 tokens in every chat. Now,
7:54the next and probably most important
7:55part of fixes is your memory and your
7:57context. But before showing you what it
7:59does there, very quickly, if you enjoy
8:01this type of content, you'll really
8:02enjoy my AI accelerator, where you'll
8:04get access to my 30-day clot course that
8:06takes you from beginner to pro in less
8:08than 1 hour a day. You also get access
8:10to a full course on growing an AI
8:12business based on everything me and my
8:14team have learned over the last 3 years
8:15and access to unlimited one-on-one live
8:18AI consulting and a big library of
8:20skills, templates, and resources across
8:22all business departments. So, if you
8:23want to dive deeper into AI, definitely
8:25check it out in the second link in the
8:26description below. Now, memory and
8:28context are of course vital to get the
8:30most out of clot, but this is also the
8:31part that can get messy and outdated
8:33really fast, which can significantly
8:35affect your output quality. So, the
8:37detox scale goes through three things
8:39here. First, your built-in memory and
8:41global instructions. So clot basically
8:43saves uh memory notes on its own based
8:45on your feedback and preferences which
8:47you can find in your settings under the
8:49memory uh tab where you can also find
8:51your global instructions which is
8:53basically a file with instructions. Clot
8:55reads at the start of every single chat
8:57and over time these go out of date,
8:58right? People change how they want uh
9:00something done but an older note still
9:02says the opposite or two notes say
9:04something completely different. So, the
9:06detox scale reads them plus your chats
9:08from the last 30 days to see what you've
9:10actually asked for lately and flags
9:12rules that are outdated, duplicated, or
9:14contradict each other. Then again, it
9:16suggests what to fix and once once you
9:18approve, it can automatically update
9:20your rules and memory files. Second, you
9:22also do a full audit and optimization of
9:24the files inside of your projects and
9:26folders. Now if you've worked with
9:28folder access cloud projects or even
9:31might have a second brain where you save
9:33your context and memory nodes you can
9:35easily end up with dozens, hundreds or
9:37even thousands of files and notes which
9:39is of course extremely valuable because
9:41cloud can give you far better outputs
9:42with this context. But as this grows it
9:44will start to bloat. You'll have
9:46duplicate nodes, notes that contradict
9:48each other and notes nothing links to
9:50anymore. And there's really just no way
9:52to keep track of all of that yourself.
9:54So the detox skill goes through all of
9:56those files in your folders and your
9:57projects and audits everything based on
10:00uh best practices from Enthropic and
10:02Andre Karpathy. It fixes broken links,
10:05cleans up duplicates and outdated nodes,
10:07flags nodes nothing points to and make
10:09sure every bigger folder has an index
10:11file. So it uses around 16 frameworks
10:14and best practices for optimizing
10:16context or knowledge bases uh to make
10:18sure all of this stays relevant and
10:20working well. And thirdly, maybe most
10:21importantly, it audits and optimizes
10:23your cloud.md or agents.mmd for each
10:26project or folder. Now, the cloud.mmd or
10:28agents.mmd if you use multiple AI for
10:30providers, uh, essentially tells cloud
10:33where everything lives inside of these
10:34folders. Now, the cloudMD or agents.mmd
10:37is of course one of the most important
10:38files for these AI agents. We do have to
10:40optimize them regularly according to
10:43what lives in our folders, our rules,
10:45and our preferences. So again, the detox
10:47skill checks that your clot MD still
10:49points to the right places, flags
10:51important folders it doesn't mention,
10:53offers a cleaner, shorter rewrite when
10:55it has grown too long, and suggests
10:58creating one uh where it's missing. It
11:00does this for every project you're
11:01actively working on over the last 30
11:03days. In my own setup, for example, it
11:05found seven rules that contradicted each
11:07other. Uh it found that my main clot.mmd
11:09uh still pointed to a tasks folder that
11:11never existed. Uh, and my strategy file,
11:14the one Clot uses for our pricing, had
11:16six copies of itself stacked on top of
11:18each other with contradicting
11:20information. Now, the next thing it
11:21fixes are your connectors. Now, if
11:23you've been using them, you probably
11:24have noticed that login often expire or
11:26you have to reconnect them. Uh, clot can
11:28also have full right access to tools
11:30where it only needs to read or the other
11:33way around. Also, many people keep uh
11:35connectors they don't actually use
11:36anymore. Some might even overlap like a
11:38custom MCP and an official connector
11:40that later came out. Connectors are also
11:42one of the biggest parts of your
11:44baseline context, which basically means
11:46everything that loads into a chat before
11:48you even send a message because every
11:50connector adds its tool names and
11:52instructions to every chat, even when
11:53you don't use it. So, the detox skill
11:56lists every connector with when you last
11:58used it and how much context it cost
12:00you. It then suggests switching off the
12:02unused ones and keeping just one of each
12:05duplicate. It flags expired login and
12:08risky right access. Now, Clot can't
12:10actually reconnect the connector for
12:11you. So, you can do that yourself based
12:13on Clot suggestions. Then, it even goes
12:15one step further for every connector. It
12:17will also check if the tool is also on
12:19Composio, which is basically a meta
12:21connector that gives Clot access to a
12:23lot of apps at once with just that
12:25Composio connector. If it is, it will
12:27suggest switching to Composio because
12:30with Composio, you can essentially do
12:32one login on all your softwares and give
12:34Cloud access to all of them with just
12:36the Composio connector. Composio even
12:38manages the reconnections automatically
12:40for you. Now, I'm not being paid to say
12:42this. I just really like the tool
12:43Composio. So, highly recommend checking
12:45it out. And if a connector isn't on
12:46Composio, it might also suggest building
12:49a CLI. A CLI is basically a small
12:51command line tool. Clot can run instead
12:54of a connector. And Entropic's own docs
12:56say CLI are more context efficient than
12:58MCPs, which are connectors, because they
13:01don't add a list of tools to every chat.
13:03Now, you can really easily build your
13:04own CLIs with something called the
13:06printing press, an open-source tool that
13:09builds a CLI from an app's API docs.
13:12I'll leave the link to the printing
13:13press in the description below, too. But
13:15in my own setup, I had 25 connectors
13:17connected, costing me about 16,000
13:19tokens in every chat. 19 of them I
13:21hadn't used in the last 30 days. And
13:23just switching off the unused ones saved
13:25me 11,000 tokens per chat. It also found
13:28five services I had connected twice,
13:30three I could move to Composio and seven
13:32connectors with risky write access like
13:34Gmail being able to send emails. And
13:36then the last part is the easiest one to
13:38forget because it all runs in the
13:39background, your scheduled tasks and
13:41routines. Now, one big problem I have
13:43faced with these scheduled tasks or
13:44cloud code routines, which is
13:46essentially the same as a scheduled
13:47task, but runs in the cloud so it can
13:49run without your laptop being open, is
13:51that although they're very valuable, of
13:53course, many of them quietly fail
13:55because a connector fails. for example,
13:57or a prompt is outdated. And many that
13:59I've set up in the past, I don't
14:00actually use anymore or even check the
14:02outputs of anymore. And because they run
14:04in the background, it's easy to forget
14:06about them. But of course, they do eat
14:07away at your plan's usage every single
14:09time they run. So, the detox scale lists
14:11every scheduled task both in co-work and
14:14in a codeab with when it last ran, uh
14:16whether it failed, and uh which model it
14:19runs on. Now, it will show failing tasks
14:21first with the error like a login that
14:23needs reconnecting. uh for tasks whose
14:25output nobody actually reads anymore. It
14:27suggests pausing these uh scheduled
14:29tasks and it also checks uh which ones
14:31are simple enough to run on sonnet
14:33instead of opus for example because
14:35entropics own advice is to keep opus for
14:37complex multi-step work and for simple
14:40task like summaries sonnet is usually
14:42more than enough so it can suggest
14:44switching some of these scheduled tasks
14:45to cheaper models in my setup for
14:47example I found 23 scheduled tasks and
14:49routines only six of them I was actually
14:51using consistently uh one was failing
14:54and 18 were still running on older
14:55models and Four of them were simple
14:57enough to run on sonnet and once you
14:59approve it can pause or switch them off
15:01automatically for you. Again, you can
15:03download the detox skill for free in the
15:04first link in description. I highly
15:06recommend putting it on a weekly
15:08schedule task uh to audit the setup for
15:10you. And then all you have to do is go
15:12through the checklist whenever it's
15:13ready. And again, if you want to get
