At a glance

Clean up local branch worktree folders for this repository after their branches or pull requests have merged to main.

  • Works in 4 steps: Check the Repository → Preview Cleanup Candidates → Remove Merged Worktree Folders → …
  • The user asks to remove merged branch folders
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Workflow and Safety Rules
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls git and python3

What it does

Clean Merged Branch Folders is an agent skill from jtenniswood/espcontrol. Clean up local branch worktree folders for this repository after their branches or pull requests have merged to main. Use when the user asks to remove merged branch folders, tidy local worktrees, clean old feature branch directories, prune merged PR worktrees, or clean up local development folders without impacting main.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/clean_merged_worktrees.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. It works with Git and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Esphome based smart home control panel.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to remove merged branch folders
  • Tidy local worktrees
  • Clean old feature branch directories
  • Prune merged PR worktrees

Example prompts

  • “/clean-merged-branch-folders”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check the Repository
  2. Preview Cleanup Candidates
  3. Remove Merged Worktree Folders
  4. Validate the Result

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72cf82c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Clean Merged Branch Folders loads about 813 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~813

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 347 words (~813 tokens).

“Remove only local Git worktree folders whose branch is already merged to main. Keep main, the current worktree, dirty worktrees, detached worktrees, and unmerged branches untouched.”
