clean-branches

clean-branches is a command for Claude Code from fengshao1227/ccg-workflow. It costs 23 tokens per session (751 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Git command for finding and safely removing local or remote branches that are already merged or have not been updated for a chosen number of days. Git branches are separate lines of code history used for features, fixes, or experiments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preview or delete merged and stale branches, clean remote branches, set a base branch, and protect branches such as release lines.
Why use it?
It reduces branch clutter while showing a dry-run preview by default and excluding protected branches. Confirmation and force options control whether risky deletions are allowed.

About the project

CCG is a command-line workflow engine that coordinates Claude, Codex, Gemini, and other models as specialized collaborators on coding tasks. It is used to analyze requests, choose a strategy, delegate work to model-specific roles, and combine their results. The catalogue entries provide the skills, commands, agents, and plugin that implement this workflow.

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 A, and why

clean-branches 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Clean-Branches - 清理 Git 分支

安全识别并清理已合并或长期未更新的分支。

使用方法

/clean-branches [options]

选项

选项 说明
--base <branch> 基准分支(默认 main/master)
--stale <days> 清理超过 N 天未更新的分支
--remote 同时清理远程分支
--dry-run 只预览,不执行(默认
--yes 跳过确认直接删除
--force 强制删除未合并分支

执行工作流

🔍 阶段 1:预检

[模式:准备]

  1. 同步远端:git fetch --all --prune
  2. 读取保护分支配置
  3. 确定基准分支

📋 阶段 2:分析识别

[模式:分析]

已合并分支

  • 已完全合并到 --base 的分支

过期分支(如指定 --stale):

  • 最后提交在 N 天前的分支

排除

  • 从待清理列表中移除保护分支

📊 阶段 3:报告预览

[模式:报告]

## 将要删除的分支

### 已合并分支
- feature/old-feature (合并于 3 天前)
- bugfix/fixed-issue (合并于 7 天前)

### 过期分支
- experiment/old-test (最后更新 90 天前)

✅ 阶段 4:执行清理

[模式:执行]

仅在不带 --dry-run 且确认后执行:

# 本地分支
git branch -d <branch>

# 远程分支(如果 --remote)
git push origin --delete <branch>

# 强制删除(如果 --force)
git branch -D <branch>

保护分支配置

# 添加保护分支
git config --add branch.cleanup.protected develop
git config --add branch.cleanup.protected 'release/*'

# 查看保护分支
git config --get-all branch.cleanup.protected

示例

# 预览将清理的分支
/clean-branches --dry-run

# 清理已合并且超过 90 天未动的分支
/clean-branches --stale 90

# 清理已合并到 release/v2.1 的分支
/clean-branches --base release/v2.1 --remote --yes

最佳实践

  1. 优先 dry-run – 先预览再执行
  2. 活用 --base – 适配 release 工作流
  3. 谨慎 --force – 除非确定无用
  4. 团队协作 – 清理远程分支前先通知
  5. 定期运行 – 每月/季度一次保持清爽

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
