Cleanup artifacts

Skill ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft/skills/cleanup-artifacts

Use in /implement at the draft→ready boundary, before publish-pr's squash, to delete this branch's transient plan/spec artifacts so they don't ship in the PR. Deletes .claude/plans/<branch>.md (flattened name). Distinct from repo-setup's prune of previously-merged branches' artifacts.From its SKILL.md

Cleanup Artifacts

Deletes this branch's transient working artifacts — the plan file and any spec scratch — at the draft→ready boundary, so they don't ship in the PR. One of /implement's two distinct cleanups:

repo-setup prunes previously-merged branches' worktrees + plan files (at setup).
cleanup-artifacts deletes this branch's plan file (at finalize).

Runs before publish-pr's squash.

Input

branch — the current feature branch.

Steps

Delete this branch's plan file: rm -f .claude/plans/<branch>.md, using the /→- flattened branch name (feat/foo → .claude/plans/feat-foo.md, matching plan-file).
Delete any other transient spec/scratch artifacts the project marks for this branch.

Output / contract

In: the branch.
Out: working tree with this branch's plan/spec artifacts removed.
Side effects: deletes the plan file. With the default gitignored plan location the deletion isn't part of the diff (pure housekeeping); if a project tracks plan files, the deletion is a real change — which is why it must run before publish-pr's squash, so it folds into the single commit (no plan file in PR history). publish-pr stages this deletion with git add -A before committing — without that staging the reset --soft index would re-commit the tracked plan file.

Project overrides

Plan-artifact location — a repo that stores plans/specs elsewhere (e.g. docs/plans/) overrides the path; keep the flatten rule consistent with plan-file and repo-setup.

Future scope

(none beyond per-project artifact locations.)
