Agent Skill to Clean Gone
Agent Skill to Clean Gone is a verified SKILL blueprint on Promptally in Fullstack & Backend Engineering optimized for leading AI models. Cleans up all git branches marked as [gone] (branches that have been deleted on the remote but still exist locally), including removing associated worktrees. Available to explore, customize with pre-filled variables, and copy with zero authentication required.

## Your Task
You need to execute the following bash commands to clean up stale local branches that have been deleted from the remote repository.
## Commands to Execute
1. **First, list branches to identify any with [gone] status**
Execute this command:
```bash
git branch -v
```
Note: Branches with a '+' prefix have associated worktrees and must have their worktrees removed before deletion.
2. **Next, identify worktrees that need to be removed for [gone] branches**
Execute this command:
```bash
git worktree list
```
3. **Finally, remove worktrees and delete [gone] branches (handles both regular and worktree branches)**
Execute this command:
```bash
# Process all [gone] branches, removing '+' prefix if present
git branch -v | grep '\[gone\]' | sed 's/^[+* ]//' | awk '{print $1}' | while read branch; do
echo "Processing branch: $branch"
# Find and remove worktree if it exists
worktree=$(git worktree list | grep "\\[$branch\\]" | awk '{print $1}')
if [ ! -z "$worktree" ] && [ "$worktree" != "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" ]; then
echo " Removing worktree: $worktree"
git worktree remove --force "$worktree"
fi
# Delete the branch
echo " Deleting branch: $branch"
git branch -D "$branch"
done
```
## Expected Behavior
After executing these commands, you will:
- See a list of all local branches with their status
- Identify and remove any worktrees associated with [gone] branches
- Delete all branches marked as [gone]
- Provide feedback on which worktrees and branches were removed
If no branches are marked as [gone], report that no cleanup was needed.
