remove-branch

remove-branch is a command for Claude Code from kayba-ai/agentic-context-engine. It costs 0 tokens per session (406 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for deleting a Git branch and its associated worktree, which is a separate working directory connected to that branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
It resolves full or partial branch names, removes linked worktrees, prunes Git's worktree records, and deletes the branch. A force option can skip confirmations and delete an unmerged branch.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of deleting the wrong branch or losing unmerged work by checking protected branches, the current branch, and unmerged commits first.

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

remove-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 4d 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

Remove a branch and its associated worktree.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS should be the branch name (full or partial match)

  • --force: Skip confirmations and force delete unmerged branches

Examples:

  • /remove-branch feature/john/add-caching → remove branch and worktree
  • /remove-branch add-caching → partial match, will prompt to confirm
  • /remove-branch feature/john/add-caching --force → skip all confirmations

Steps:

  1. Parse branch name and flags from arguments
  2. Resolve branch name (support partial matching if unique)
  3. Safety checks:
    • Abort if trying to remove main/master
    • Abort if trying to remove current branch (must switch first)
    • Warn if branch has unmerged commits (show git log main..<branch> --oneline)
  4. Check if branch has an associated worktree: git worktree list
  5. If worktree exists:
    • Remove worktree first: git worktree remove <path> (or --force if needed)
    • Prune worktree list: git worktree prune
  6. Delete the branch: git branch -d <branch> (or -D with --force)
  7. Confirm success

On success, output:

✓ Removed worktree: <worktree-path>
✓ Removed branch: <branch-name>

Error handling:

  • Multiple partial matches: list matches and ask user to be more specific
  • Unmerged commits without --force: show commits and ask for confirmation
  • Protected branches (main/master): refuse with explanation
  • Current branch: instruct user to switch branches first

Protected branches: main, master

Confirmation prompts (unless --force):

  • "Branch has N unmerged commits. Remove anyway? (show commits first)"
  • For partial match: "Did you mean ?"

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.
