A Claude companion for decluttering your home — one Skill that walks the whole arc. Sort it, decide what to do with it, sell or donate or recycle it. English by default, and it knows your local marketplaces. Open source.
grenier is one Claude Skill you invoke once ("help me declutter"). It walks
the whole journey, going deeper only when your situation reaches that stage:
- Sort — a method, exercises, steps and techniques to take on the clutter.
- Decide what to do with each thing — sell (and where), donate, recycle, or trash — with the right effort/value trade-off.
- Price the decision — estimate realistic resale value, bundle when useful, and decide whether selling is worth the hassle.
- Prepare the sale — from a photo or a line of text: identify the item, suggest a price, write the listing, bundle lots.
- Track the sale — answer buyers, handle logistics (coming later).
One name, one trigger, one mental model. Under the hood it's a lean entry point that loads deeper knowledge only when the flow reaches it — the native Claude Skills progressive-disclosure pattern. No picking the "right" sub-skill first.

The stages flow: sort → decide route → price/one move → draft the listing. See
examples/ for concrete end-to-end cases.
The Skill is written in English and country-agnostic at its core. When the
flow reaches disposition, pricing or listing it loads a small local recipe
for your country (countries/<iso2>.md) — which marketplaces, donation networks,
recycling routes, pricing norms and listing conventions apply where you live.
France, US and UK today — and adding yours is one file
(countries/<iso2>.md). If there's no recipe for your country yet, the Skill
falls back to sensible global guidance and tells you so.
This Skill follows the Claude Agent Skills format.
Pick whichever door you like — they all end with the same Skill in
~/.claude/skills/.
Paste this into Claude Code (or any Skills-compatible agent):
Install the grenier skill from https://github.com/1789-tech/grenier
into ~/.claude/skills/, then help me start decluttering.
The agent fetches the skills/ folder, drops the Skill into ~/.claude/skills/,
and you're ready. This is the easiest path if you're already chatting with Claude.
grenier is a Claude Code plugin. Add the marketplace once, then install:
/plugin marketplace add 1789-tech/grenier
/plugin install grenier@grenier
Claude Code handles updates and keeps the Skill in sync with the repo. This is the recommended path for Claude Code users.
For terminals and CI, a small, inspectable, idempotent installer:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1789-tech/grenier/main/install.sh | shIt clones this repo (or downloads the tarball if you have no git) and copies the
Skill into ~/.claude/skills/. Override the target with
CLAUDE_SKILLS_DIR=/path sh install.sh. Read install.sh first —
it's ~40 lines and does nothing surprising.
By hand, if you prefer:
git clone https://github.com/1789-tech/grenier
cp -r grenier/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/Or just open Claude Code inside the cloned grenier/ folder — the Skill in
skills/ is available directly.
No coding needed. If you can chat with Claude, you can use grenier. It's one Skill — the same trigger for all of these; it works out which stage you're at:
| You say… | Stage it walks into |
|---|---|
| "My garage is a total mess and I don't know where to start." | sort |
| "Help me sort my bedroom, I've got 20 minutes." | sort |
| "I've got an old bike, a box of novels and a broken printer to get rid of." | decide (disposition) |
| "Where do I sell or donate this old sofa?" | decide (disposition) |
| "I'm in the US — what do I do with a bunch of furniture I don't want?" | decide (US recipe) |
| "UK here — I've got dead electronics and e-waste to deal with." | decide (UK recipe) |
| "Write me the ad for my bike: Trek FX 2, size M, good condition." | draft the listing |
| "Draft a listing for this coffee table." (paste a photo) | draft the listing |
| "What do I even do with this single weird item?" | decide (disposition) |
| "Turn my box of 40 books into the simplest possible outcome." | decide → price |
| "France: what price, and is this worth selling at all?" | price (one move) |
