SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill analyzes Kaizen worktrees, branches, Docker images, and stale cases to reclaim disk space safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive inventory: lists worktrees, branches, cases, and Docker resources with staleness indicators.
  • Safe cleanup workflow: supports analysis, dry-run previews, and guarded removal when criteria are met.
  • Use Case: when a project accumulates many worktrees and images, run this to identify candidates and perform a guided cleanup.

Quick Start

Run the kaizen-cleanup skill to analyze worktrees and safely remove stale items after a dry-run confirmation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely cleanup stale git worktrees and Docker images to free disk space?▼

To safely cleanup stale git worktrees and Docker images, you can run an analysis to identify removable items, preview the deletion in a dry-run, and execute the removal once all safety criteria and preflight checks are met.

What is the best way to analyze disk space usage across multiple development worktrees?▼

Analyzing disk space across multiple worktrees involves generating a comprehensive inventory of worktrees, branches, cases, and Docker resources, highlighting which ones are stale and safe to remove.

Does the worktree cleanup process require a lock-file or a git prune step?▼

Yes, the worktree cleanup process relies on lock-file presence and executes a Git worktree prune operation to ensure safe removal and prevent data corruption.

Can I preview worktree and Docker image cleanup before permanently deleting files?▼

Yes, you can preview worktree and Docker image cleanup by running a dry-run, which shows exactly which stale items will be removed before any actual disk space is reclaimed.

When should I not use an automated cleanup for git worktrees?▼

You should not use automated cleanup if the preflight health check fails, or if the required lock-file is absent, as the system enforces these criteria to ensure safe operation.

Do I need Kaizen installed as a plugin to analyze and remove stale worktrees?▼

Yes, this analysis and cleanup workflow is applicable in development environments where Kaizen is installed as a plugin, such as within Claude Code setups.
