Repo Cleanup Loop
Recovers valuable unmerged work and prunes stale branches and PRs until the repository is tidy.
Before you use this component
This is a third-party source bundle, not an installation into your account. UI Discovery has checked the available redistribution license evidence; runtime behavior has not been tested. Review all files, use a disposable project first, and do not enable scripts or hooks until you understand their permissions.
Some integrations require separately installed software, API keys or paid services. Credentials and subscriptions are not included. These are Claude Code resources; other clients may require adaptation.
Extract the ZIP into a temporary folder, inspect its entry file and supporting resources, then follow the original instructions. Do not overwrite an existing project configuration blindly. Keep the bundled license and attribution notices.

--- name: repo-cleanup-loop description: Recovers valuable unmerged work and prunes stale branches and PRs until the repository is tidy. category: engineering interval: 7d stop-condition: No stale branches or abandoned PRs remain and any salvageable work has been captured. components: [command:git-workflow/branch-cleanup, agent:git/git-workflow-manager, skill:git/git-context-controller] tags: [git, maintenance, cleanup, loop] --- # Repository Cleanup Loop > **Loop Engineering** — a recurring janitor that keeps the repo's branch and PR list honest without deleting anything valuable. ## 🎯 Goal Find stale branches and abandoned PRs, **recover** any work worth keeping (extract to an issue or fresh branch), and safely remove the rest. ## ⏱️ Schedule Suggested interval: `7d` (weekly). Because this loop can delete branches, keep the cadence slow and review its actions. ## ▶️ Run it ``` /loop 7d "Scan branches and PRs. For each stale one, decide: salvage valuable work into an issue/branch, or delete if fully merged or abandoned. Never lose unmerged work. Continue until the branch and PR list is clean." ``` ## 🔁 Iteration steps 1. **Perceive** — list branches/PRs by last activity with `git-context-controller`. 2. **Reason** — classify each: merged, abandoned, or contains salvageable work. 3. **Plan** — decide salvage vs delete for the oldest item. 4. **Act** — salvage to an issue/branch, then prune with `/branch-cleanup`; the `git-workflow-manager` agent guides safe operations. 5. **Observe** — confirm nothing valuable was lost; continue down the list. ## 🛑 Stopping condition No stale branches or abandoned PRs remain and all salvageable work is captured. ## 🧩 Referenced components - `command:git-workflow/branch-cleanup` — prunes merged/stale branches. - `agent:git/git-workflow-manager` — guards safe git operations. - `skill:git/git-context-controller` — inspects branch/PR history. ## 💡 Example A six-month-old `spike/new-parser` branch holds a useful prototype; the loop extracts it into an issue with the diff attached, then deletes the branch.
