delete

A command for deleting issues and cleaning up their links and text references. It can preview the changes, check dependencies, and optionally remove issues with dependent items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preview or delete one or more issues, delete issues listed in a file, check dependency collisions, remove links, and replace references to deleted issue IDs.
Why use it?
It helps avoid accidentally deleting work that other issues depend on. It also makes the connected references explicit before an irreversible deletion.

Made for: Claude Code.

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

delete 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to delete — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Delete one or more issues and clean up all references.

Safety Features

  • Preview mode: Default shows what would be deleted
  • --force: Required to actually delete
  • --dry-run: Preview collision detection
  • Dependency checks: Fails if issue has dependents (unless --cascade or --force)

Batch Deletion

  • Delete multiple: bd delete bd-1 bd-2 bd-3 --force
  • Delete from file: bd delete --from-file deletions.txt --force

Dependency Handling

  • Default: Fails if issue has dependents not in deletion set
  • --cascade: Recursively delete all dependent issues
  • --force: Delete and orphan dependents

What Gets Deleted

  1. All dependency links (any type, both directions)
  2. Text references updated to "[deleted:ID]" in connected issues
  3. Issue removed from database

This operation cannot be undone. Use with caution!

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.
