What is clio-kit-branch-closeout?

A Git cleanup procedure for work that has already been merged. A worktree is a second working directory connected to the same Git repository; this procedure checks it before removing it and deleting related local branches.

Use it to prove a branch landed, remove its worktrees, delete local branches safely, and inspect remaining Git references.

It reduces the risk of deleting unmerged work, dirty files, or useful repository references during cleanup.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00082	$0.01620
Opus 5.5	$0.00033	$0.00648
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00324
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00162

Security

Grade C, and why

clio-kit-branch-closeout scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Never use `rm -rf`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Host compatibility

This copy is adapted from Clio Coder. Apply the procedure using the current host's available tools and the user's authorized scope. The tool names, /skill invocations, .clio-coder paths, fleets, approval gates and completion gates below describe Clio Coder; they are not installed or enforced by this skill in another host. Use the host's actual skill invocation and equivalent tools. If no equivalent exists, report the missing capability. Do not assume a tool is unavailable merely because the original headless workflow says so. A referenced agent or skill must be installed before relying on it. Scientific MCPs must be configured separately.

Adapted skills use the clio-kit- prefix to distinguish them from upstream audited skills. For a companion skill named below, select its clio-kit- copy from this collection; native agents, fleets and external programs retain their original names.

Branch Closeout

Safely tear down local scaffolding after work has merged. Closeout proves landing evidence before removing any ref or worktree, distinguishes canonical and fork remotes, protects dirty or ignored worktree state, and audits surviving repository references.

See the closeout checklist for detailed commands and edge cases.

Arguments

Arguments are passed in the user invocation message. Interpret them structurally from the prompt:

/skill:clio-kit-branch-closeout [--canonical remote] [--base branch] [--delete-fork-branch] <branch...>

Examples

/skill:clio-kit-branch-closeout feat/worker-profiles
/skill:clio-kit-branch-closeout --base main --canonical upstream fix/session-leak
/skill:clio-kit-branch-closeout --delete-fork-branch feat/issue-99

Positional Arguments

<branch...>: One or more local branch names to close out.
- Required. If missing, prompt the user for the branch name; never guess.
- Must be valid ref names (git check-ref-format --branch <branch>).

Options

--canonical <remote>: Remote name of the canonical upstream repository.
- Default: detected canonical remote from repository URLs or upstream / origin.
--base <branch>: Base branch on which the changes landed.
- Default: detected canonical default branch (e.g. main or master).
--delete-fork-branch: Delete the corresponding branch on the contributor's fork remote after local closeout.
- Default: false.
- Refusal Guard: If the fork remote resolves to the canonical repository, this option is strictly refused.

What ships with it

4 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.
