The guard this branch added was solving the wrong problem. Detaching a worktree's HEAD severs the only link git records between it and the branch, so the branch really has no worktree and deleting the ref alone is the correct operation — and it never lost anything: `SafeDelete` retains an unintegrated branch, so the only refs it deleted were ones worktrunk's own integration test calls lossless, and even a forced `-D` leaves the commits reachable through the detached worktree's HEAD, which is a GC root. What #3769 actually reported was silence. `○ No worktree found for branch <name>` is true and still reads as "nothing is there" while a directory sits at exactly that path, so the removal now names it and the `wt remove <path>` that clears it, on stderr and in `--format=json`'s new `detached_worktree`. Refusing instead cost a legitimate branch cleanup and let a branch address a detached worktree — the one thing the worktree model says a branch cannot name. `detached_worktree_for` survives to find the path; it no longer decides whether the command runs, which is also why the guard-scoping it needed (a branch-existence check, a `deletion_mode` gate) goes with it: an extra line of output is harmless where a refusal had to be narrowed case by case.

Worktrunk Plugin for Claude Code
Git worktree management CLI integration with activity tracking.
Requires the wt CLI (worktrunk.dev) and jq (used
by the worktree-lifecycle hooks).
Features
- Configuration skill — Guides LLM-powered commit message setup, project hooks (pre-start, pre-merge), and worktree path customization
- Activity tracking — Shows which branches have active Claude sessions via indicators in
wt list /wt-switch-createcommand — Creates a worktrunk worktree and moves the current Claude session into it
Examples
Activity tracking across worktrees
The plugin installs Claude Code hooks that track session activity per branch. When a prompt is submitted, the hook sets 🤖 on that branch. When Claude finishes and waits for input, it switches to 💬. When the session ends, the marker clears.
These markers appear in wt list output, making it easy to see which worktrees have active Claude sessions — useful when running multiple instances in parallel.
Set up LLM commit message generation
The configuration skill guides through configuring an AI tool (Claude Code, Codex, llm, or aichat) and adding [commit.generation] to the user config so wt merge can auto-generate commit messages.
Add pre-start hooks to run npm install automatically
The skill configures .config/wt.toml with project hooks. Pre-start hooks run when creating worktrees, pre-merge hooks validate before merging.
Start work in a fresh worktree
/wt-switch-create fix-auth Investigate the 5-minute session timeout creates a fix-auth worktree in worktrunk's normal sibling layout (<repo>.fix-auth/), switches the session into it, and starts the task there. The branch name is optional (/wt-switch-create -- <task>). The worktree persists after the session — merge or remove it with wt merge / wt remove like any other.
