Reclaims merged-but-undeleted local and remote branches. Local branches are age-gated (default 24 h); remote branches are only PR-merged checked. Protected branches (main, master, develop, release/*) are never deleted.

Procedure

SB-1. Resolve $AGENTS_CONFIG_DIR from the environment; abort with a clear error if unset. SB-2. Invoke the sweeper script (no flag = deletes; --dry-run = preview): bash "$AGENTS_CONFIG_DIR/bin/sweep-branches.sh" [--dry-run] [--min-age-hours N] [--ci-mode] SB-3. Print the script's stdout verbatim. Do not summarize or filter.

Forward the user's flags verbatim. Add no flags of your own.

Rules

• Deletes by default; --dry-run must be explicit to preview only.
• --delete-no-pr alone deletes no-PR local branches; add --dry-run to preview.
• Remote branches use gh api -X DELETE (REST API); local branches use git branch -D with SWEEP_BRANCHES_SKILL=1 guard.
• Remote branches are not age-gated (only PR-merged check); local branches are age-gated via --min-age-hours.
• main, master, develop, release/* are never deleted.
• Non-GitHub remotes are skipped (non-fatal).
• Per-branch failures are non-fatal: warning printed, sweep continues.
• After remote deletion, local tracking refs (origin/<branch>) persist until git fetch --prune.
