What happens if I try to delete a worktree with incomplete tasks?

The script checks the associated SDD ticket status; if tasks are unverified, it will display a warning and require manual confirmation before proceeding.

Does this skill automatically delete my Git branches?

Yes, by default it removes the associated branch, but you can use the --keep-branch flag if you want to preserve the branch for later use.

Can I preview changes before they are applied?

Absolutely. The skill includes a --dry-run mode that lists all commands, ticket statuses, and workspace updates that would occur without actually executing them.

Does it work outside of VS Code?

While optimized for VS Code workspaces, you can use the --skip-workspace flag to perform standard worktree and branch cleanup in other environments.

Developer Tools

Automates the safe removal of Git worktrees by verifying ticket status and updating VS Code workspace configurations.

The Worktree Cleanup skill provides a robust orchestration script for developers using Git worktrees within devcontainer environments. It goes beyond simple directory removal by integrating with ticket management systems (SDD) to prevent accidental data loss, automatically updating VS Code multi-root workspace files, and managing associated Git branches. This skill is ideal for maintaining a clean development environment while ensuring that all work is verified and merged before resources are deleted.
