remove

A command for removing development worktrees, tmux windows, and optionally local branches. A worktree is a separate working folder linked to another Git branch, while tmux manages terminal sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for removing one or more worktrees, cleaning up worktrees whose remote branches disappeared, and choosing whether to keep their local branches.
Why use it?
It cleans up abandoned experiments and finished work without merging them. It can check for uncommitted changes or unmerged commits before removal.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Removes worktrees, tmux windows, and branches without merging (unless you keep the branches). Useful for abandoning work or cleaning up experimental branches. Supports removing multiple worktrees in a single command. Alias: rm

workmux remove [name]... [flags]

Arguments

  • [name]...: One or more worktree names (the directory names). Defaults to current directory name if omitted.

Options

Flag Description
--all Remove all worktrees at once (except the main worktree). Prompts for confirmation unless --force is used. Safely skips worktrees with uncommitted changes or unmerged commits.
--gone Remove worktrees whose upstream remote branch has been deleted (e.g., after a PR is merged on GitHub). Automatically runs git fetch --prune first.
--force, -f Skip confirmation prompt and ignore uncommitted changes.
--keep-branch, -k Remove only the worktree and tmux window while keeping the local branch.

Examples

# Remove the current worktree (run from within the worktree)
workmux remove

# Remove a specific worktree with confirmation if unmerged
workmux remove experiment

# Remove multiple worktrees at once
workmux rm feature-a feature-b feature-c

# Remove multiple worktrees with force (no confirmation)
workmux rm -f old-work stale-branch

# Use the alias
workmux rm old-work

# Remove worktree/window but keep the branch
workmux remove --keep-branch experiment

# Force remove without prompts
workmux rm -f experiment

# Remove worktrees whose remote branches were deleted (e.g., after PR merge)
workmux rm --gone

# Force remove all gone worktrees (no confirmation)
workmux rm --gone -f

# Remove all worktrees at once
workmux rm --all

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.
