AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemNiche Gem

CVE scanning for cached packages beats plain disk cleanup tools.

Strengths
  • •Security auditing of cached dependencies catches supply chain risks early.
  • •MCP server integration enables AI agents to audit caches programmatically.
  • •Single TUI view across pip, npm, Cargo, HuggingFace, and Homebrew caches.
Weaknesses
  • •No Windows support limits adoption to macOS and Linux developers only.
  • •Disk cleanup tools like ncdu already handle the space reclamation piece.
Target Audience

Backend developers, ML engineers, DevOps teams

Post Description

A terminal UI (TUI) for exploring, auditing, and cleaning developer cache directories on macOS and Linux. Scan cached packages for known CVEs, find outdated dependencies, and reclaim disk space — all from one tool.

Developer machines accumulate tens of gigabytes of invisible cache data — ML models, package archives, build artifacts, downloaded bottles. ccmd makes it all visible, scannable for vulnerabilities, and safely deletable.
