prune

prune is a command for Claude Code from danielraffel/generous-corp-marketplace. It costs 8 tokens per session (511 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command that cleans up Git’s records for worktrees whose directories were deleted manually. These records are called administrative references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find and remove orphaned worktree references, or confirm that all recorded worktrees are still valid.
Why use it?
Manually removing a worktree can leave stale references behind, which makes Git’s worktree list inaccurate.

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.

Security

Grade C, and why

prune scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- You manually deleted a worktree directory (rm -rf)

Worktree Prune Command

Remove administrative data for worktrees that have been manually deleted.

Usage

/worktree-manager:prune

Instructions for Claude

When user invokes this command:

  1. No arguments needed:

    • This command operates on all orphaned worktrees automatically
  2. Call MCP tool:

    • Use mcp__worktree__worktree_prune
    • No parameters needed
  3. Display results:

    • If orphans found:
      • ✅ Pruned N orphaned worktree(s)
      • List each pruned path
      • Explain what was cleaned up
    • If no orphans:
      • ✅ No orphaned worktrees found
      • All worktree references are valid
  4. Error handling:

    • Permission errors → explain and suggest solutions
    • Git errors → suggest checking git installation

Examples

With orphans:

User: /worktree-manager:prune
Claude: ✅ Pruned 2 orphaned worktree(s):
           - ~/worktrees/old-feature
           - ~/worktrees/experiment

        These directories were manually deleted but still had
        git references. Those references have been cleaned up.

No orphans:

User: /worktree-manager:prune
Claude: ✅ No orphaned worktrees found
        All worktree references are valid

When to Use

Use this command when:

  • You manually deleted a worktree directory (rm -rf)
  • Worktrees still show in /worktree-manager:list but don't exist
  • You get errors about missing worktree paths
  • After bulk cleanup of old worktree directories
  • Before checking worktree status to clean up stale references

What It Does

Prune removes git's administrative references for worktrees whose directories no longer exist. This cleans up:

  • .git/worktrees/<name> directories in the main repo
  • Stale entries in git's worktree list
  • Broken references that cause git warnings

Safe Operation

This is a safe operation:

  • Only removes references to non-existent directories
  • Does not delete any actual worktree directories
  • Does not modify any existing worktrees
  • Can be run anytime without risk
