# /agent-sweep-orphans — Orphan Task Cleanup > "Done" doesn't mean "shipped." This sweep finds the gap and closes it. ## The orphan problem Autonomous agents that commit to feature branches (instead of pushing directly to `main`) accumulate orphans: - Task ran, committed to `feature/<task-id>`, marked itself done - The PR was never merged (review caught issues, scope changed, branch protection blocked it) - Now there's a branch sitting in the repo with completed work that's NOT on `main` After a few months: dozens of orphan branches, each with potentially valuable work. This skill triages them in bulk. ## Prerequisites | Var | Purpose | |---|---| | `AGENT_API_URL` | Base URL of the agent's HTTP API | | `AGENT_API_TOKEN` | Bearer token | Plus local `git` access to the project repo, OR a GitHub token (`GH_TOKEN`) if working remotely. ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Identify orphans For a single project: ```bash # Pull all "done" tasks for this project curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENT_API_TOKEN" \ "$AGENT_API_URL/api/tasks?status=done&project=<project>" # For each task, check if its branch is reachable from main git fetch origin for branch in $(git branch -r | grep "feature/<task-id>"); do if git merge-base --is-ancestor "$branch" origin/main; then echo "MERGED: $branch" else echo "ORPHAN: $branch" fi done ``` ### Phase 2: Classify each orphan | Class | Test | Disposition | |---|---|---| | **mergeable** | `git merge-tree main feature/X` produces n
