+Safe-removal gate over
+[`worktree-lifecycle § Cleanup discipline`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#4-cleanup-discipline).
+Removal only — this command never merges, never deletes branches, and
+never force-removes.
+
+### 1. Candidates
+
+`git worktree list --porcelain` — target the worktree(s) named by the
+user, or every non-main worktree when asked to "clean up".
+
+### 2. Per candidate, run the gates IN ORDER
+
+1. **Dirty check** — `git status --porcelain` in the worktree non-empty
+   → **refuse** that candidate; report the dirty files. Never
+   `git worktree remove --force`.
+2. **Unique-commit check** — commits reachable from the worktree branch
+   but from no other ref (branches, remotes, tags):
+
+   ```bash
+   git log <branch> --oneline --not \
+     $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v "^refs/heads/<branch>$")
+   ```
+
+   Non-empty → **refuse** removal: the branch holds work that exists
+   nowhere else. Surface the commit list and hand the decision back —
+   dropping commits the session did not author is forbidden by the
+   `git-history-discipline` rule (shared-branch Iron Law); merging or
+   preserving them is the user's call.
+   Empty → removal allowed for this candidate.
+
+### 3. Remove the allowed candidates
+
+```bash
+git worktree remove <path>
+git worktree prune
+```
+
+Branch deletion is NOT part of cleanup — it is a separate,
+permission-gated git op (`scope-control`); if the user wants it, the
+merged-only form (`git branch -d`) applies, never `-D`.
+
+### 4. Report
+
+Use the [`worktree-lifecycle § Output format`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#output-format):
+per candidate — removed, or refused with the exact gate that fired
+(dirty files, or the unique-commit list verbatim).
+
+### Rules
+
+- **Refusal is the success path** when a gate fires — never retry with
+  `--force`, `-D`, or a reset to make removal "work".
+- **Do NOT delete branches, commit, or push.**
+- Host-auto-cleaned subagent worktrees (`isolation: "worktree"`) that
+  left a branch behind still pass through gate 2 before that branch is
+  touched.

+Without a primitive, the skill's plain `git worktree add` path applies.
+
+### 2. Branch naming — propose once
+
+Derive ONE branch name from the task (`<type>/<short-slug>` per the
+`commit-conventions` rule), state it, and proceed. Do not present a
+naming menu; the user can override by naming a branch in the same turn.
+
+### 3. Write the scope-lock note
+
+Write `.worktree-scope.md` at the new worktree root per
+[`worktree-lifecycle § Scope lock`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#2-scope-lock)
+(branch, `owns:` paths, task line, date) and ensure
+`.git/info/exclude` carries the `.worktree-scope.md` line.
+
+### 4. Report
+
+Use the [`worktree-lifecycle § Output format`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#output-format):
+worktree path + branch + `owns:` list, baseline state, next step.
+
+### Rules
+
+- **Do NOT commit or push.**
+- Worktree creation stays permission-gated per `scope-control` unless
+  `worktrees.mode: on` grants standing permission (skill § 0).

+
+Read-only report — never mutates a worktree, a branch, or the remote.
+
+### 1. Enumerate
+
+```bash
+git worktree list --porcelain
+```
+
+One report block per worktree (skip the main working tree unless asked).
+
+### 2. Per worktree, gather
+
+- **Ownership** — read `.worktree-scope.md` (`owns:` + task line);
+  missing note → report "no scope lock" as a finding, per
+  [`worktree-lifecycle § Scope lock`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#2-scope-lock).
+- **Dirty state** — `git status --porcelain` in that worktree.
+- **Ahead/behind** — `git fetch origin --quiet` once, then
+  `git rev-list --left-right --count <branch>...origin/<base>` (live
+  values only, per [`git-workflow`](../../../skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md)
+  § Live remote state first). Divergent → name it and point to
+  git-workflow § Divergent-State Recovery; do not resolve here.
+- **Verification evidence** — present/absent per the run's `/worktree
+  verify` record; absent → "none attached", never inferred.
+
+### 3. Merge-readiness verdict
+
+Apply the five-point checklist from
+[`worktree-lifecycle § Status / merge-ready checklist`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#3-status--merge-ready-checklist)
+and name the first failing item for every not-ready worktree.
+
+### 4. Report
+
+Use the [`worktree-lifecycle § Output format`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#output-format)
+per worktree, then one summary line: `<N> worktrees — <M> merge-ready`.
+
+### Rules
+
+- **Do NOT commit, push, merge, or remove anything.** Status is read-only.
+- Never report merge-ready without attached verification evidence
+  (checklist item 3) — "diff looks fine" is not evidence.

+# /worktree verify
+## Instructions
+
+Produce fresh, scoped verification evidence for ONE worktree's declared
+change. Narrow probes only — this command never runs the full CI
+pipeline locally (`roadmap-ci-steps-policy` / `quality.local_auto_run`
+default: remote CI on the PR is the gate).
+
+### 1. Resolve target + scope
+
+Target worktree = the current one, or the path/branch given as arg.
+Read its `.worktree-scope.md` (`owns:` paths + task line) per
+[`worktree-lifecycle § Scope lock`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#2-scope-lock).
+No scope lock → stop and route to `/worktree create` step 3 first.
+
+### 2. Scope-conformance check
+
+```bash
+git diff --name-only "$(git merge-base HEAD <base>)"..HEAD
+```
+
+Paths outside `owns:` → surface as scope creep (`scope-control`) before
+verifying anything; the evidence must describe the declared change.
+
+### 3. Pick the narrowest probes
+
+Map the diff to probes per `verify-completion-evidence` (claim →
+command): the single test filter for touched behavior, the
+type-checker/linter scoped to changed files, a `curl`/spec run for a
+touched endpoint. Never substitute the full CI meta-pipeline for a
+targeted probe.
+
+### 4. Run fresh + record
+
+Run the probes now (no cached/earlier results — `verify-before-complete`),
+capture command + exit code + output tail, and append the evidence to
+the worktree's `.worktree-scope.md` under a `## Verification evidence`
+heading (command, date, result) so `/worktree status` can report it.
+
+### 5. Report
+
+Use the [`worktree-lifecycle § Output format`](../../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md#output-format):
+evidence section carries the probe commands + tails; verdict states
+whether checklist item 3 (evidence attached) now passes.
+
+### Rules
+
+- **Do NOT commit or push.** Evidence lives in the untracked scope note.
+- Red probe → report it plainly and stop; never downgrade to a weaker
+  probe to get green (N=3 budget per `autonomous-execution`).

+Top-level orchestrator for the governed-worktree family — a THIN layer
+over host-native primitives (Claude Code `EnterWorktree`/`ExitWorktree`,
+subagent `isolation: "worktree"`) and plain `git worktree` elsewhere.
+Explicitly OUT of scope: auto-merge, daemons, background watchers,
+dispatch beyond the existing subagent worktree isolation.
+
+## Sub-commands
+
+| Sub-command | Routes to | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/worktree create` | `commands/worktree/create.md` | Create a governed worktree + write the scope-lock note (propose-once branch naming) |
+| `/worktree status` | `commands/worktree/status.md` | List active worktrees — ownership, dirty state, ahead/behind, merge-readiness incl. verification evidence |
+| `/worktree verify` | `commands/worktree/verify.md` | Run the scoped verification for the worktree's declared change — narrow probes, not full CI |
+| `/worktree cleanup` | `commands/worktree/cleanup.md` | Safe removal gate — refuses while the branch has commits on no other ref |
+
+All four route through the
+[`worktree-lifecycle`](../../skills/worktree-lifecycle/SKILL.md) skill;
+creation mechanics live in
+[`using-git-worktrees`](../../skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md).
+
+## Non-interactive & auto-detection
+
+`/worktree` honors the [`non-interactive-contract`](../contexts/execution/non-interactive-contract.md)
+(surface detection, confidence tiers, `--yes`/`--json`, abort schemas,
+the `auto_detect` kill-switch). Detection table:
+
+| Basis (signal) | Sub-command | Confidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| Explicit sub given (`/worktree status`) | that one | — (detection skipped) |
+| "isolate / do this on the side / new worktree for X" | `worktree/create` | HIGH |
+| "which worktrees / what's active / merge-ready?" | `worktree/status` | HIGH |
+| "verify the worktree change", scoped probe intent | `worktree/verify` | MEDIUM |
+| "remove / clean up the worktree(s)" | `worktree/cleanup` | HIGH |
+| No clear signal | — | LOW → menu (interactive) / `ambiguous_routing` (CI) |
+
+`cleanup` is the only destructive sub-command — on MEDIUM-or-lower
+confidence it is never auto-selected; show the menu instead.
+
+## Dispatch
+
+1. Parse the user's argument: `/worktree <sub-command> [args]`.
+2. **Explicit sub** → look it up and route. Otherwise run the detection
+   table above per the non-interactive-contract.
+3. Load the body of the routed file and follow its `## Instructions`
+   section verbatim with the remaining args.
+4. On **LOW** confidence (or `--no-auto-detect`): interactive → print
+   the menu and ask; non-interactive → emit `ambiguous_routing` and stop.
+
+   > 1. create — new governed worktree + scope-lock note
+   > 2. status — list worktrees with merge-readiness
+   > 3. verify — run the scoped verification for a worktree
+   > 4. cleanup — safely remove finished worktrees
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Do NOT commit, push, or open a PR** unless the sub-command
+  explicitly authorizes it.
+- **Do NOT chain sub-commands.** One `/worktree <sub>` per turn.
+- **No auto-merge, no watchers.** The cluster reports and gates; the
+  user (or an explicitly invoked command) merges.
+- Auto-detection never guesses past LOW, and never auto-selects
+  `cleanup` below HIGH confidence.
