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

<required_reading> Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting. </required_reading>

1. Setup

Extract workspace name from $ARGUMENTS.

# SDK resolution: prefer local gsd-tools.cjs, fall back to global gsd-sdk (#3668)
GSD_TOOLS="${RUNTIME_DIR:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs"
if [ -f "$GSD_TOOLS" ]; then
  GSD_SDK="node $GSD_TOOLS"
elif command -v gsd-sdk >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  GSD_SDK="gsd-sdk"
else
  echo "ERROR: gsd-sdk not found on PATH and $GSD_TOOLS does not exist." >&2
  echo "Run: npx -y @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux@latest --claude --local" >&2
  exit 1
fi
INIT=$($GSD_SDK query init.remove-workspace "$WORKSPACE_NAME")
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi

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
