claude

A command that removes Claude Code settings for deleted worktrees. A worktree is a separate working directory connected to a Git repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running workmux claude prune to back up ~/.claude.json and remove entries pointing to missing absolute-path worktrees.
Why use it?
Claude's configuration can retain entries for directories that no longer exist, making the configuration unnecessarily cluttered.

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

claude 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

Removes stale entries from Claude config (~/.claude.json) that point to deleted worktree directories. When you run Claude Code in worktrees, it stores per-worktree settings in that file. Over time, as worktrees are merged or deleted, it can accumulate entries for paths that no longer exist.

workmux claude prune

What happens

  1. Scans ~/.claude.json for entries pointing to non-existent directories
  2. Creates a backup at ~/.claude.json.bak before making changes
  3. Removes all stale entries
  4. Reports the number of entries cleaned up

Safety

  • Only removes entries for absolute paths that don't exist
  • Creates a backup before modifying the file
  • Preserves all valid entries and relative paths

Examples

# Clean up stale Claude Code entries
workmux claude prune

Example output

  - Removing: /Users/user/project__worktrees/old-feature

✓ Created backup at ~/.claude.json.bak
✓ Removed 3 stale entries from ~/.claude.json

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.
