Skip to main content Module constants Copy item path Source AGENTS_MD_FILE Where devp skill --agent agents-md writes its marked block — the cross-tool
convention read by Codex, Jules, Amp, Antigravity and others. AGENT_SKILLS_SUBDIR Subdirectory of an agent’s home where Agent Skills live, one directory per skill. AMAZON_Q_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent amazon-q writes its rules (Amazon Q Developer reads every
file in .amazonq/rules/). ANTIGRAVITY_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent antigravity writes the per-repository rules —
Antigravity (Google) reads workspace rules from .agent/rules/. APP_NAME Application name. ATTRIBUTION_LINE The one-line credit printed under interactive output. AUTHOR Author of dev-prune. CACHE_CLEAR_TIMEOUT_SECS Ceiling for one devp caches clear step. CACHE_QUERY_TIMEOUT_SECS Timeout for the “where does your cache live?” queries devp caches makes. CLAUDE_HOME_DIR Directory under the user’s home that marks a Claude Code installation. CLINE_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent cline writes its rules (Cline reads every file in the
.clinerules/ directory). CONFIG_DIR_NAME Config directory name under user config root. CONTINUE_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent continue writes its rules (Continue reads every file in
.continue/rules/). COPILOT_INSTRUCTIONS_FILE The shared file devp skill --agent copilot owns a marked block inside. CURSOR_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent cursor writes the per-repository rules. DEFAULT_ALLOW_MANIFEST_REWRITE Whether an adapter whose sync command edits tracked manifests may run it. DEFAULT_AUTO_CONFIG Default for whether link and init write a .devprune.json into repositories
they register. DEFAULT_AUTO_DAEMON Whether the setup pass installs the OS scheduler. DEFAULT_AUTO_HOOKS Whether the setup pass installs the global Git auto-registration hooks. DEFAULT_AUTO_HOOKS_CHAIN Whether the setup pass installs the Git hooks in front of another tool’s. DEFAULT_AUTO_SETUP Whether dev-prune installs its missing integrations by itself. DEFAULT_AUTO_UPDATE Whether a known-newer release installs itself at the end of a prune pass. On by
default — see Settings::auto_update. DEFAULT_BUILD_IDLE_DAYS Default idle threshold for build-tree directories, in days. DEFAULT_CHECK_INTERVAL_DAYS Default interval in days between background daemon prune runs. DEFAULT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT_SECS Default timeout in seconds for lockfile enforcement / CLI commands (10 minutes). DEFAULT_IDLE_DAYS Default idle threshold in days before a repository is eligible for pruning. DEFAULT_MIN_SIZE_MB Default size floor, in MiB, below which a bloat directory is left alone. DEFAULT_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION Default setting for requiring interactive confirmation before pruning. DEFAULT_SCAN_DEPTH How far below a repository root project discovery descends, by default. DEFAULT_UPDATE_CHECK Whether the periodic release check runs. On by default — see Settings::update_check. DEVPRUNE_IGNORE_FILE Filename that, when present in a repo root, causes dev-prune to skip that repo entirely. ENV_CONFIG_DIR_OVERRIDE Global environment variable name to override config directory location. ENV_NATIVE_ARCH Windows environment variable that carries the machine’s architecture when the
running process is emulated. ENV_NO_AUTO_SETUP Environment variable that suppresses the automatic setup pass entirely. ENV_NO_TUI Set to any value to keep every full-screen view from opening, so the line-by-line
fallback runs instead. ENV_OFFLINE Environment variable that keeps the process off the network entirely — the release
check and the extension-download fallback alike. Set by the test suites, useful on
air-gapped machines; the durable per-user switch is
devp config set update_check false. EPHEMERAL_ANCESTORS Directory names that mean “the contents of this are disposable”. EPHEMERAL_REPO_PREFIXES Repository directory names that mean the same thing, wherever they are. GEMINI_MD_FILE The shared file devp skill --agent gemini owns a marked block inside — the Gemini
CLI reads one context file per repository. GIT_DUBIOUS_OWNERSHIP The phrase Git uses when it refuses a working tree owned by another account. GIT_NOT_A_REPOSITORY The phrase Git uses when the path it was pointed at is not a working tree at all. HISTORY_STARTS_AT The release that started recording per-repository totals and the pass history. HOMEBREW_TAP The Homebrew tap that carries the formula, as brew tap takes it. Not homebrew-core:
plain brew install dev-prune resolves there, and that has a notability bar this
project has not cleared. See docs/DISTRIBUTION.md. HOMEPAGE_URL Project homepage. INSTALL_PS1_URL The PowerShell installer — same two callers as INSTALL_SH_URL INSTALL_SH_URL The shell installer, printed as an upgrade command and re-run by devp update --install when the running binary came from it. JSON_SCHEMA_URL Public URL for the JSON Schema used by IDEs for .devprune.json IntelliSense. JUNIE_GUIDELINES_FILE The shared file devp skill --agent junie owns a marked block inside — JetBrains
Junie reads one guidelines file, not a directory. KILOCODE_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent kilocode writes its rules (Kilo Code reads every file in
.kilocode/rules/). KIRO_STEERING_FILE Where devp skill --agent kiro writes its rules (Kiro reads every file in
.kiro/steering/). LATEST_RELEASE_API_URL GitHub API endpoint for the latest published release. MACOS_LAUNCHD_LABEL Label of the macOS LaunchAgent the daemon registers (also names its plist file). MAX_SCAN_DEPTH_LIMIT Upper bound accepted for scan_depth. MSRV Minimum supported Rust version, derived dynamically from rust-version in
Cargo.toml — which is the single source of truth for the MSRV. Only cargo install users ever meet it; every other channel ships a prebuilt binary. OPENVSX_URL The Open VSX listing, which is what VSCodium, Cursor and Windsurf resolve against. PER_REPO_CONFIG_FILE Name of the structured per-repository configuration file stored inside repo roots. PRUNE_HISTORY_LIMIT How many prune passes devp stats keeps a summary of. READING_MACHINE Shown while devp trust and the configurator ask the OS about the scheduler and
Git hooks, then overwritten in place. Kept here because its width is what the
erase writes over, so the two must not be able to drift apart. REGISTRY_FILENAME Name of the registry JSON file. RELEASES_URL GitHub releases page, shown whenever an upgrade is relevant. RELEASE_DOWNLOAD_BASE Where a release’s assets live, with {tag} standing in for v1.4.0. REPO_URL Canonical source repository. RESTORE_RATE_MIN_MILLIS The shortest restore worth learning a throughput from, in milliseconds. RESTORE_RATE_SAMPLE_CAP How many restore measurements one adapter’s throughput average is worth. ROO_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent roo writes its rules (Roo Code reads every file in
.roo/rules/). RULES_BLOCK_END RULES_BLOCK_START Markers around the block in COPILOT_INSTRUCTIONS_FILE SCHEDULER_HIDDEN_REFUSED_MARKER Marker file (in the config directory) recording that this machine’s Task Scheduler
refused the hidden (S4U) task registration, so setup keeps the visible task instead
of retrying the upgrade on every pass. SCOOP_BUCKET_NAME The Scoop bucket name and the repository behind it. scoop bucket add takes both,
and the name is what scoop install then resolves dev-prune against. SCOOP_BUCKET_URL Repository URL for SCOOP_BUCKET_NAME STATUS_SCAN_MAX_THREADS Ceiling on the threads devp status uses to size repositories. STATUS_SCAN_THREADS_ENV Overrides the computed status-scan thread count. Clamped to
STATUS_SCAN_MAX_THREADS1 forces a sequential scan. STATUS_SCAN_THREADS_PER_CORE Threads per reported core for the status scan. Above one because the scan waits on
the disk far more than on the CPU; well below what the disk will queue, because past
that point the extra threads only take turns. TOOL_OUTPUT_MAX_LINES How many lines of a failed command’s output are relayed into a report. TRAE_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent trae writes its rules (Trae reads every file in
.trae/rules/). TROUBLESHOOTING_URL Documentation URL for troubleshooting lockfile and pruning failures. UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL_DAYS Default interval, in days, between automatic release checks. UPDATE_CHECK_TIMEOUT_SECS Default timeout for the release check. Short on purpose — this is a convenience,
and a user waiting on a hung socket is worse than not knowing. Override with
devp config set update_check_timeout_secs when a proxy needs longer. UPDATE_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_SECS Timeout for downloading a release binary in devp update --install. VERSION Application crate version derived dynamically from Cargo.toml. VSCODE_EXTENSION_ID Marketplace identifier (publisher.name) of the VS Code extension, as understood
by code --install-extension. VSCODE_MARKETPLACE_URL Where a person can read about the extension before installing it. WINDOWS_HIDDEN_BIN File name of the windowless scheduler binary — dev-prune.exe with its PE subsystem
set to GUI, the same relationship pythonw.exe has to python.exe. Generated
locally beside the managed binary; never shipped in any archive. WINDOWS_TASK_NAME Name of the Windows Task Scheduler task the daemon registers. WINDSURF_RULES_FILE Where devp skill --agent windsurf writes the per-repository rules. WINGET_PACKAGE_ID The WinGet package identifier, as published in packaging/winget/ and in the
manifests submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs. devp update and devp uninstall name
it back to the user, so a typo here sends someone to a command that does not resolve. ZED_RULES_FILE The shared file devp skill --agent zed owns a marked block inside. Zed reads
.rules ahead of every other convention, so a repository that also has an
AGENTS.md still needs this one. LONG_VERSION The body of devp --version. release_asset_name The release-asset name for one platform, without the .sha256 suffix.
