A financial institution employs this skill to audit artifact retention policies in regulated development environments. Using REPO_MATCH and ARTIFACT_EXCLUDE filters, they ensure sensitive data artifacts are properly sized and expired, generating JSON reports for compliance dashboards to demonstrate adherence to data governance standards.

By running it with SOON_EXPIRES_DAYS=5 and OUTPUT_FORMAT=text, they prioritize cleaning up stale artifacts like old build caches, keeping project resources lean and reducing maintenance overhead for core maintainers.

An e-commerce platform's DevOps team integrates this skill into their CI pipeline to prevent artifact bloat from inflating deployment costs. With FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1, they automatically fail builds if artifacts exceed CRITICAL_MB=800, enforcing size limits on deployment packages and improving pipeline reliability.

A digital agency uses this skill to audit artifact usage across client projects stored in separate GitHub repositories. By applying REPO_EXCLUDE to filter out internal tools, they focus on client-specific artifacts, optimizing storage budgets and providing transparent reports to clients on resource utilization.
