The instructions Claude Code reads when this command runs.

# Clean Worktrees (Automatic)

Automatically clean all stale worktrees: merged branches and orphaned git references.

**vs `/tech:clean-worktree`**:
- `/tech:clean-worktree`: Interactive, asks confirmation
- `/tech:clean-worktrees`: **Automatic**, no interaction (safe: merged only)

## Usage

```bash
/tech:clean-worktrees           # Clean all merged worktrees
/tech:clean-worktrees --dry-run # Preview what would be deleted
```

## Implementation

```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

DRY_RUN=false
if [[ "${ARGUMENTS:-}" == *"--dry-run"* ]]; then
  DRY_RUN=true
fi
