macOS Resource Optimizer

Production-ready system optimization with 40+ specialized agents for comprehensive macOS resource management.

Quick Reference

What is macOS Resource Optimizer? Real-world macOS optimization framework with 40+ specialized agents executing in parallel:

• coordinator.py: 40-agent orchestrator (6 phases, 4-5s execution)

• 40+ specialized agents: Memory, disk, browser, Docker, developer tools

• Implementation: UV scripts (PEP 723) + Bash delegation via MoAI agents

Main Orchestrator:

Script Purpose Agents Execution Time

coordinator.py

40-agent parallel orchestrator 40 agents (6 phases) 4-5s

6 Phases (coordinator.py):

• Disk Cleanup (15 agents): Python/Node zombies, Browser helpers, Network leaks, Docker containers

• RAM Optimization (9 agents): Memory pressure, App profiler, Browser tabs, Electron apps

• Developer Cache (5 agents): Time Machine, Xcode, Build caches, Docker cleanup

• Advanced Memory (4 agents): Swap optimizer, WindowServer, Spotlight, Memory leaks

• Browser Deep Cleanup (3 agents): Chrome, Safari, Firefox optimizers

• App & System (3 agents): Messaging apps, VSCode, DNS/Network

Performance:

• Sequential: 40 × 1.0s = 40s (estimated per agent)

• Parallel (6 phases): 4-5s total (8× faster than sequential)

• Real-world: 4-7s depending on system state and cache availability

• With MetricsCache (TTL 30s): ~2-3s on repeated calls

Architecture

Execution Stack

User Command (slash command) ↓ MoAI Command (Python orchestrator) ↓ Task() delegation to manager agents ↓ Manager-Resource-Coordinator (MoAI agent) ↓ Bash(uv run coordinator.py) → UV Script execution ↓ asyncio.gather() parallel execution ├─ Phase 1: Disk Cleanup (15 agents) ├─ Phase 2: RAM Optimization (9 agents) ├─ Phase 3: Developer Cache (5 agents) ├─ Phase 4: Advanced Memory (4 agents) ├─ Phase 5: Browser Cleanup (3 agents) └─ Phase 6: App & System (3 agents) ↓ JSON results aggregation ↓ User-facing report (Korean)

Implementation Details

Execution Method: UV Scripts (PEP 723)

#!/usr/bin/env uv run

/// script

requires-python = ">=3.11"

dependencies = ["psutil", "pyyaml"]

///

import asyncio import psutil

Scripts run directly via: uv run script.py

No Python virtual environment setup required

Delegation Pattern: Bash + Task()

Manager agent receives command

Delegates to Bash tool: uv run .claude/skills/.../scripts/coordinator.py

Coordinator spawns async tasks for 40 agents

Results aggregated and returned

Data Flow

coordinator.py executes agents

{ "phases": { "disk_cleanup": { "agents_executed": 15, "duration": 2.1, "savings_gb": 5.3, "results": [...] }, "ram_optimization": { "agents_executed": 9, "duration": 1.8, "memory_freed_gb": 2.1, "results": [...] }, ... }, "summary": { "total_agents": 40, "total_duration": 2.5, "total_savings_gb": 12.4, "total_memory_freed_gb": 4.2 } }

Protected Apps

Default protected apps (from config/cleanup-rules.json ):

• Claude Code

• Notion

• Slack

• Discord

• Mail

• Messages

• Ghostty

Recommended additional protection (for development environments):

• Node.js (active development processes)

• Apple Virtualization (system virtualization)

• VSCode/Cursor (development editors)

• Xcode (development tools)

• Docker Desktop (containerization)

Customization: Edit config/cleanup-rules.json to add/remove protected apps based on your workflow.

These apps are NEVER killed or suspended during optimization.
