cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)" ./scripts/clickup/tmux-kill.sh "$TASK_ID" "$CLEANUP"
Examples
bash
# Kill session only (keep worktree for later inspection) /clickup:kill 86ew43633 # Kill session and cleanup worktree /clickup:kill 86ew43633 --cleanup # List sessions before killing tmux ls | grep clickup-
When to Use --cleanup
Use --cleanup when:
- •The task is complete and merged
- •You want to free up disk space
- •The agent crashed and work is unrecoverable
Don't use --cleanup when:
- •You might want to inspect the work later
- •The agent is just paused temporarily
- •You want to manually review changes before cleanup
