Remove a GSD workspace, cleaning up git worktrees and deleting the workspace directory.

1. Setup

Extract workspace name from $ARGUMENTS.

_GSD_SHIM_NAME="gsd-tools.cjs"; _GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT="${RUNTIME_DIR:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}"; GSD_TOOLS="${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; _gsd_at() { for _p; do if [ -f "$_p" ]; then GSD_TOOLS="$_p"; return 0; fi; done; return 1; }; if _gsd_at "${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/.claude/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/.codex/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; then gsd_run() { node "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; elif unset -f gsd_run; _G="$(command -v gsd_run)"; then GSD_TOOLS="$_G"; gsd_run() { "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; elif _gsd_at "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${CURSOR_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.cursor}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.gemini}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${WINDSURF_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.codeium/windsurf}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${AUGMENT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.augment}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${TRAE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.trae}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${QWEN_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.qwen}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${CODEBUDDY_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.codebuddy}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${CLINE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.cline}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${GROK_AGENTS_HOME:-$HOME/.agents}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${ANTIGRAVITY_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.gemini/antigravity}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/opencode}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}" "${KILO_CONFIG_DIR:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/kilo}/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}"; then gsd_run() { node "$GSD_TOOLS" "$@"; }; else echo "ERROR: gsd-tools.cjs not found at $GSD_TOOLS and gsd_run is not on PATH.

If response_language is set: All user-facing questions, prompts, and explanations in this workflow MUST be presented in {response_language}. Technical terms, code, file paths, and subagent prompts stay in English — only user-facing output is translated.

Parse JSON for: workspace_name, workspace_path, has_manifest, strategy, repos, repo_count, dirty_repos, has_dirty_repos.

If no workspace name provided:

First run /gsd:workspace --list to show available workspaces, then ask:

Text mode (workflow.text_mode: true in config or --text flag): Set TEXT_MODE=true if --text is present in $ARGUMENTS OR text_mode from init JSON is true. When TEXT_MODE is active, replace every AskUserQuestion call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for non-Claude runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) where AskUserQuestion is not available. Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Remove Workspace"
• question: "Which workspace do you want to remove?"
• requireAnswer: true

Re-run init with the provided name.

2. Safety Checks

If has_dirty_repos is true:

Cannot remove workspace "$WORKSPACE_NAME" — the following repos have uncommitted changes:

  - repo1
  - repo2

Commit or stash changes in these repos before removing the workspace:
  cd "$WORKSPACE_PATH/repo1"
  git stash   # or git commit

Exit. Do NOT proceed.

3. Confirm Removal

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Confirm Removal"
• question: "Remove workspace '$WORKSPACE_NAME' at $WORKSPACE_PATH? This will delete all files in the workspace directory. Type the workspace name to confirm:"
• requireAnswer: true

If answer does not match $WORKSPACE_NAME: Exit with "Removal cancelled."

4. Clean Up Worktrees

If strategy is worktree:

Initialize the failure flag once before iterating repos:

REMOVE_FAILED=false

For each repo in the workspace:

cd "$SOURCE_REPO_PATH"
if ! git worktree remove "$WORKSPACE_PATH/$REPO_NAME" 2>&1; then
  echo "Warning: Could not remove worktree for $REPO_NAME — source repo may have been moved, deleted, locked, or dirty." >&2
  REMOVE_FAILED=true
fi

If any git worktree remove fails, stop before deleting the workspace directory:

Refusing to delete "$WORKSPACE_PATH" because one or more git worktrees could not be removed.
Resolve the failed worktree removal manually, then rerun remove-workspace.

5. Delete Workspace Directory

if [ "${REMOVE_FAILED:-false}" = "true" ]; then
  echo "Refusing to delete \"$WORKSPACE_PATH\" because one or more git worktrees could not be removed." >&2
  exit 1
fi

rm -rf "$WORKSPACE_PATH"

6. Report

Workspace "$WORKSPACE_NAME" removed.

  Path: $WORKSPACE_PATH (deleted)
  Repos: $REPO_COUNT worktrees cleaned up
