need to clean up worktree dir

git status quo

• git worktree commands:

git worktree add
git worktree list [-v | --porcelain [-z]]
git worktree lock [--reason <string>] <worktree>
git worktree move <worktree> <new-path>
git worktree prune [-n] [-v] [--expire <expire>]
git worktree remove [-f] <worktree>
git worktree repair [<path>...]
git worktree unlock <worktree>

commands

• all commands are under the same git repo
• list: to show all agents status, include:

NAME        BRANCH        PATH                     STATUS
api-fix     fix/api-bug   ~/project/wt/api-fix     clean
agent-ai    feat/agent    ~/project/wt/agent-ai    2 files modified
refactor    refactor/db   ~/project/wt/refactor    clean

• add: add worktree, and cd into that worktree, and launch agents
• switch: Automatically cd into that worktree
• remove: remove worktree and its directory
• agent-status or status:
  • how to detect interactive agents' activity?

WORKTREE     AGENT     STATUS
agent-ai     gpt4      running (PID 4923)
api-fix      none      idle

• cli should work on all worktree and repo’s root directories

unsure:

• sync:
  • Checks if any worktrees are out of sync with remote.
  • Optionally auto-pull or rebase.

questions

• what if the agent is running in an interactive mode? like normal TUI agents?

  • tmux?
    • should be doable, just need commands to switch tmux window
  • different tab?
    • this involves terminal operation
    • wezterm should have CLI for its term operation
    • ghostty doesn’t seem to have it

• how to detect interactive agents' activity?

  • claude has hooks

ideas

• do not use interactive agents, just show a textbox for the user to type prompts
  • what about claude’s commands? like /something?
• and when user switch to it, it just use claude’s resume function, resume in the interactive mode
