Geniev1.0.0

A solo developer or small ops team receives an alert that a production VPS root filesystem is above 85% usage. They run Genie with --assess to identify stale snapshots, oversized logs, and orphaned git clones, then execute tiered cleanup with --clean and verify disk recovery. This prevents downtime from a full disk while preserving the latest backup and live data.

A managed hosting provider schedules Genie as a weekly maintenance cron job across customer VPS instances. The skill compresses old logs, removes stale /tmp files, and flags backup retention violations automatically, generating JSON reports for central monitoring. This reduces manual intervention and enforces consistent cleanup policies across fleets.

Before migrating a large application or database, an infrastructure engineer runs Genie --discover to map the filesystem and generate a FILESYSTEM.md manifest. The audit identifies reclaimable space and ensures enough headroom for migration operations, avoiding mid-migration failures due to disk exhaustion.

A security-conscious organization needs to enforce a 'one historical backup' policy on their Linux servers. Genie audits backup directories, state-snapshots, and .bak-* files, reports violations with sizes and timestamps, and safely reclaims older or invalid backups. This aligns with internal data governance and reduces unnecessary storage costs.

A software engineer's local Linux workstation is cluttered with stale git clones, accumulated session JSONs, and old cron logs. They use Genie with --dry-run first to preview reclaimable space, then --clean to remove untouched repositories and compress old session data. This keeps the development environment lean and responsive.

A SaaS platform offers automated disk cleanup as a subscription add-on for VPS customers, integrating Genie as the core engine. Customers pay a monthly fee per server for scheduled assessments, cleanup execution, and retention reporting. The service reduces customer churn by preventing disk-full incidents.

The core Genie skill is open-source (MIT) and free, driving adoption among individual developers and small teams. A commercial entity offers enterprise support, custom retention policies, and centralized dashboards for large fleets. Revenue comes from support contracts, training, and premium features like real-time alerting integrations.

An MSP bundles Genie with other maintenance skills (log rotation, security patching, monitoring) into a comprehensive managed infrastructure package. Clients pay a flat monthly fee per server for proactive maintenance, including disk cleanup, backup audits, and performance tuning. Genie serves as the disk-space component of this bundle.
