clean-worktrees

A command for removing Git worktrees, which are extra working folders linked to one repository. It asks Git to remove them without forcing the operation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean up worktrees that are no longer needed and report any folders Git considers unsafe to remove.
Why use it?
It lets Git refuse removal when doing so could discard changes, reducing the risk of deleting unfinished work.

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-worktrees 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 2d 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 the following worktrees, as long it is possible to do so without using the --force flag.

$ARGUMENTS

  • Don't bother checking if the repo has changes with git -C <worktree> status --porcelain
  • Don't bother checking for unpushed commits with git -C <worktree> log

Just run git worktree remove <worktree> and git will exit with an error code if it's not safe to do so and if --force is correctly omitted.

Changes

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.
