git-sweep

An interactive cleanup tool for Git branches and worktrees, which are separate working directories linked to one repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and remove obsolete local or remote branches and free worktrees after confirming the cleanup.
Why use it?
It identifies finished or stale work and checks whether the base branch already contains it, including after a squash or rebase, before deletion.

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

git-sweep 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Sweep

Route to the correct cleanup phase based on repo state. The phase files audit.md and apply.md live in this skill's base directory.

Inputs

  • base: $ARGUMENTS (optional: the base branch to audit against, e.g. /git-sweep dev; empty lets the backend resolve the trunk: git config sweep.base, then origin/HEAD, then main/master/trunk)
  • branch: !git branch --show-current
  • repo: !git rev-parse --show-toplevel
  • worktrees: !git worktree list
  • pending: !test -f "$(git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir)/git-sweep-manifest.json" && echo "yes" || echo "no"
  • tools: !test -x "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/git-clean-audit.ts" && test -x "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/git-clean-apply.ts" && echo "ok" || echo "missing"

Routing

if tools == "missing":
  STOP — tell user: git-clean-audit and/or git-clean-apply not executable.
  Run: chmod +x "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/git-clean-audit.ts" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/git-clean-apply.ts"

if pending == "yes":
  # A previous run left operations unexecuted (partial failure, or an
  # interrupted hand-off). The file holds an already-confirmed selection.
  AskUserQuestion:
    header:   "Manifest"
    question: "A pending cleanup manifest exists. Apply it, or re-audit?"
    options:  "Apply pending manifest (Recommended)"
              | "Re-audit (overwrites it)"
  if "Apply pending manifest":
    Read apply.md and follow it
    (do not continue below)

Read audit.md and follow it

The audit phase handles all "nothing to clean" detection itself (local branches, remote branches, worktrees). Do not short-circuit here.

Configuration (git config, all optional)

  • sweep.base — trunk to audit against when no argument is given
  • sweep.protect (multi-valued) — extra branches never proposed for deletion
  • sweep.unprotect (multi-valued) — lift names from the default protected set (main, master, trunk, dev, develop); the audited base stays protected
  • sweep.agentPrefix / sweep.backupPrefix — classification prefixes (defaults worktree-agent-, backup/; they must not overlap)
  • sweep.maxAgeDays — age bound for the containment test (default 180)

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

git-sweep is a skill published in the GitHub repository bengous/claude-code-plugins (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 854 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
