npx skills add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin --skill ce-clean-gone-branches
Clean up local branches whose remote tracking branch is gone. Use when the user says "clean up branches", "delete gone branches", "prune local branches", "clean gone", or wants to remove stale local branches that no longer exist on the remote. Also handles removing associated worktrees for branches that have them.

Delete local branches whose remote tracking branch has been deleted, including any associated worktrees.
Run the discovery script to fetch the latest remote state and identify gone branches:
The script runs git fetch --prune first, then parses git branch -vv for branches marked : gone].
If the script outputs __NONE__, report that no stale branches were found and stop.
Show the user the list of branches that will be deleted. Format as a simple list:
Wait for the user's answer using the platform's blocking question tool: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code (call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini, ask_user in Pi (requires the pi-ask-user extension). Fall back to presenting the list in chat only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) — not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question.
This is a yes-or-no decision on the entire list -- do not offer multi-selection or per-branch choices.
If the user confirms, delete each branch. For each branch:
git worktree list | grep "\\[$branch\\]")git worktree remove --force "$worktree_path"git branch -D "$branch"Report results as you go:
If the user declines, acknowledge and stop without deleting anything.
