claude prune

Removes stale entries from Claude config (~/.claude.json) that point to deleted worktree directories. When you run Claude Code in worktrees, it stores per-worktree settings in that file. Over time, as worktrees are merged or deleted, it can accumulate entries for paths that no longer exist.

workmux claude prune

What happens

1. Scans ~/.claude.json for entries pointing to non-existent directories
2. Creates a backup at ~/.claude.json.bak before making changes
3. Removes all stale entries
4. Reports the number of entries cleaned up

Safety

• Only removes entries for absolute paths that don't exist
• Creates a backup before modifying the file
• Preserves all valid entries and relative paths

Examples

# Clean up stale Claude Code entries
workmux claude prune

Example output

  - Removing: /Users/user/project__worktrees/old-feature

✓ Created backup at ~/.claude.json.bak
✓ Removed 3 stale entries from ~/.claude.json
