What is delete-branch?

A command for deleting a Git branch, either locally or optionally from a remote repository shared with other copies of the project.

Use it to delete a local branch, optionally delete its remote copy, select a remote such as origin, or force deletion after reviewing the warning.

It removes branches you no longer need while checking for uncommitted or unmerged work. Force deletion can remove a branch that is not fully merged.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00010	$0.00692
Opus 5	$0.00005	$0.00346
Sonnet 5	$0.00002	$0.00138
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00069

Security

Grade A, and why

delete-branch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

--delete-remote - Also delete the branch from remote repository
--remote=<name> - Specify remote name (default: origin)

Instructions for Claude

When user invokes this command:

Parse arguments:
- Extract branch name (required)
- Check for --force flag → force: true
- Check for --delete-remote flag → delete_remote: true
- Extract --remote=<name> → remote_name: "<name>"
Safety warnings:
- If --force is used, warn user about potential data loss
- If --delete-remote is used, mention this is permanent

Display results:
- Show deletion status:
  - ✅ Local branch deleted:
  - ✅ Remote branch deleted from (if applicable)

Error handling:
- Branch doesn't exist → suggest using /worktree-manager:list
