| description | Create/update the "deploy" branch with a clean project snapshot - strips all agent config (.agents/, .claude/, CLAUDE.md), draft-and-reference/, and malware-investigation/. Only project VBA files, docs, and README remain. |
/commit-clean
Run the deploy-branch builder script and report results.
Why this exists
The deploy branch is the clean, agent-free snapshot of the project suitable for:
- Public portfolio / open-source sharing (no internal Claude tooling visible).
- Distributing the add-in to users who only need the VBA code and workbooks.
This is why agent-config commits (.agents/, .claude/) and project commits (VBA files,
workbooks) must be kept separate - the script strips agent scope from deploy automatically.
Steps
1. Run the script
node .agents/scripts/commit-clean.mjs
2. Report results
Show the script output. Key info:
- Whether the deploy branch was created or updated.
- Commit hash + file count.
- Reminder: not pushed (user pushes manually).
3. If the script fails
Report the error. Common causes:
- Worktree already exists from a failed run: run
git worktree prune then retry.
- Deploy branch checked out elsewhere: remove the other worktree first.
- Git lock file: wait or remove
.git/worktrees/*/locked.
What gets stripped
Directories: .agents, .claude, .codex, .gemini, .opencode,
draft-and-reference, malware-investigation.
Root files: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, AGENTS.override.md.
All nested CLAUDE.md files anywhere in the tree.
What stays
Everything else: final-installation/, xlwings/, part-tools/, Images/,
README.md, .gitignore, vbe-theme-regedit/, app/.
