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-cleanup 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 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.

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 — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Cleanup

Intelligently identify and remove stale branches, orphaned remotes, and unused worktrees — with confirmation at every step.

Preferences

Before starting, use the Read tool to read ~/.claude/skills/git-cleanup/preferences.md. If the file does not exist, treat as "no preferences set".

Context

On startup, use Bash to detect: working directory, git repos in cwd (directories with .git), and current git branch. Skip any that fail.

Command routing

Check $ARGUMENTS:

  • help → display help then stop
  • config → interactive setup then stop
  • reset → delete ~/.claude/skills/git-cleanup/preferences.md, confirm, stop
  • anything else → parse as natural language or repo path, then run

Help

Git Cleanup — Smart cleanup of stale branches, remotes, and worktrees

Usage:
  /git-cleanup                              Auto-detect repos, clean everything
  /git-cleanup ai-assemble                  Clean a specific repo
  /git-cleanup just local branches          Natural language — local only
  /git-cleanup dry run                      Show what would be deleted
  /git-cleanup skip linear                  Skip Linear issue checks
  /git-cleanup ai-assemble remote only      Clean only remote branches
  /git-cleanup config                       Set preferences
  /git-cleanup reset                        Clear preferences
  /git-cleanup help                         This help

Smart detection:
  - If inside a git repo, uses that repo
  - If in a parent directory, scans for git repos and lets you pick
  - If one repo found, uses it automatically

Current preferences:
  (shown above under Preferences)

Config

Use AskUserQuestion to collect:

  • Q1: Protected branches — branches to never delete (default: main, all-demos, develop)
  • Q2: Linear integration — Enable Linear issue status checks? (default: Yes)
  • Q3: Ticket pattern — regex to extract ticket IDs from branch names (default: AIS-\d+)
  • Q4: Auto-confirm merged — Auto-delete branches already merged into base? (default: No — always ask)

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.
