gitclean

gitclean is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TweekFawkes/prompts. It costs 118 tokens per session (1,255 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A procedure for finishing a Git worktree, which is a separate working directory linked to a branch. It verifies the work, merges the branch into the main branch, and retires the finished worktree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an agent finishes a feature branch and you need to check its status, run the required tests, merge it, and move its worktree aside.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion and leftover directories after branch-based work is complete while keeping a visible record of the retired worktree.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/smoke.sh # or the repo's test suite / lint / build.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

gitclean 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/gitclean.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Gitclean

Use this skill only for a finished task branch that should be merged into the repository's main branch and then retired. The goal is to leave main current, preserve a visible retired worktree under delete_me, and reduce confusion for other local agents. For worktrees created by gitready, the default retirement path is a sibling delete_me/ directory next to the worktree.

Required Checks

  1. Read the repo's CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md) and follow its Git, verification, and cleanup rules.

  2. Identify the current worktree, current branch, main branch, and all local worktrees:

    git rev-parse --show-toplevel
    git branch --show-current
    git worktree list --porcelain
    git status --short
    
  3. Stop if the current branch is main, master, or detached. This skill retires feature worktrees only.

  4. Stop if this worktree or the main worktree is dirty. Review, stage, and commit intentional task changes first; never sweep unrelated files into a cleanup commit.

  5. Run the repo's required verification before merging — for example:

    bash scripts/smoke.sh   # or the repo's test suite / lint / build
    

    If that is impossible, run the strongest relevant test/lint/build checks and state exactly what could not run.

Preferred Automation

Use the bundled helper after the required checks pass:

bash .claude/skills/gitclean/scripts/gitclean.sh \
  --repo "$(pwd)" \
  --verified "bash scripts/smoke.sh"

Useful options:

  • --dry-run: print the planned merge and retirement steps without changing files.
  • --main <branch>: use a non-default main branch.
  • --no-push: merge locally but do not push main.
  • --verified <text>: record the verification command(s) that passed before cleanup.
  • --keep-branch: keep the local task branch after detaching the retired worktree.
  • --delete-remote-branch: delete the remote task branch after main is pushed. Use only when the user asked for remote branch cleanup or the repo clearly expects it.
  • --target-parent <path>: place the retired worktree under a specific delete_me parent.

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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.
