A watcher that cleans up local branches and worktrees after agent pull requests are closed. It also closes linked GitHub or Jira issues when needed and releases the related claim lock.

Deleting merged local branches, removing spent worktrees, closing linked issues, and releasing locks after completed pull requests.

It removes leftover development files and bookkeeping after a pull request finishes, especially when the normal issue-closing behavior does not apply.

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	$0.00092	$0.01464
Opus 5	$0.00046	$0.00732
Sonnet 5	$0.00018	$0.00293
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00146

Security

Grade A, and why

pr-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 8d 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PR Cleanup Watcher

One job: tidy up after PRs close. When <integration-branch> is not the repo's default branch, GitHub does not auto-close Closes #N issues (the PR lands off the default branch), so closure is manual. Reclaim local disk, close the linked issue, release the lock. Nothing else.

This skill builds on the lock-release protocol in the issue-locking skill (gh-issue-locking for GitHub, jira-issue-locking for Jira) and the worktree/branch hygiene in dispatching-subagents. It adds the single-lane watcher loop and the merged-vs-abandoned close-out split.

Project bindings

Project-agnostic; the adopting project defines these in its own CLAUDE.md. Used here:

Placeholder	Meaning
`<owner>/<repo>`	GitHub repository slug
`<integration-branch>`	Branch PRs target; if it is NOT the repo default, `Closes #N` does not auto-close — closure is manual
`<default-branch>`	The repo's default branch (GitHub only auto-closes issues for PRs merged into this)
`<worktree-dir>`	Where feature branches live on disk (see `dispatching-subagents`)
`<claim-lock>`	The active-claim marker — a label (`agent-claimed`) + assignee on GitHub, the equivalent field on Jira (see the issue-locking skill)
`<tracker-key>`	Linked tracker reference convention (a GitHub `#N`, a Jira issue key)

The watcher model

A single-lane, interval-driven loop — one concern, scanned end-to-end every tick (/loop <interval> start). Distinct from the N-slot event loop in orchestrating-slots and the one-shot pr-rescuer. One watcher per lane; lanes do not cross.

This lane is light and read-mostly — cleanup is bounded shell + tracker API. Run it on the workhorse tier and delegate noisy scans (branch lists, worktree audits) to the cheap tier (caveman:cavecrew-investigator, or a fixed command parsed), keeping output compressed. It writes no application code, so there is no fix-sub-agent slot count here.

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.
