Archive an idle project folder into a single zip that lives inside it. CLI + MCP server.
View on GitHub ↗Archive an idle project folder into a single zip that lives inside it, so the folder stays visible as a marker of what used to be there.
pacto unzip old-project puts it all back and deletes the zip.
Nothing is deleted until the archive has been verified: every entry is CRC-checked and the file count and total size are compared against the folder. If a locked file interrupts the delete, re-running pacto zip finds the good archive and finishes the job instead of re-zipping.
- the current directory when it is inside the default root (C:\dev) - otherwise the default root itself - --root D:\projects overrides both, and PACTOROOT changes the default
Only the direct children of that folder are candidates.
scan ranks by size × idle days, so a big folder untouched for a year comes before a big one you edited yesterday. Idle time is the newest file anywhere in the tree.
- The archive is verified before anything is deleted. - Git repos with uncommitted or unpushed work are flagged, then archived anyway. .git goes into the zip, so history survives. - Symlinks and Windows junctions are skipped, not followed, and are listed in the output. - unzip refuses to run when the folder holds anything besides the archive, and rejects entries whose paths point outside it. - Empty directories are preserved through the round trip. - pacto never archives its own checkout.
Tools: scan, suggest, zip, unzip. zip is gated: without confirm=true it only reports what would happen, so an agent cannot delete a project by accident.
