prune-agents

Installation
SKILL.md

<arc_runtime> This workflow requires the full Arc bundle, not a prompts-only install.

Paths in this skill use these conventions:

  • agents/..., references/..., disciplines/..., templates/..., scripts/..., rules/..., skills/<name>/... are Arc-owned files at the plugin root. Resolve the plugin root from this skill's filesystem location — it's the directory containing agents/ and skills/.
  • ./... is local to this skill's directory.
  • .ruler/..., docs/..., src/..., or any project-relative path refers to the user's project repository. </arc_runtime>

Prune Orphaned Agents

Run the cleanup script to kill orphaned Claude agent processes.

scripts/cleanup-orphaned-agents.sh

This kills Claude Code processes that have become detached from their terminal (TTY shows "??"). These accumulate when the Task tool spawns subagents that don't cleanly exit after completion.
