## What clean-closed-issue-worktrees does, in the publisher's words

A safety-first agent skill for auditing and removing Git worktrees associated with closed GitHub or GitLab issues.

It works with Git-registered worktrees regardless of editor, agent harness, or creator. Provider and live-task integrations stay in the agent layer, while a deterministic Python script owns local Git inspection, managed-root provenance, snapshot validation, backup refs, and removal.

Closed issues often leave behind worktrees containing dependency folders and build caches. Blind cleanup is dangerous: a clean git status can hide ignored local data, a detached HEAD can be the only ref to a commit, and an apparently idle worktree can still belong to an active agent task.

- Scan and classify every worktree without modifying Git state.
- Show exact paths, risks, issue state, and estimated reclaimable space.
