lf ops Commands

Operations and utilities. lf ops handles everything that’s not launching a prompt.

lf ops cp

Copy context to clipboard for use with web clients.

lf ops cp                     # copy repo docs
lf ops cp src tests           # copy specific paths
lf ops cp -e "*.pyc"          # exclude patterns
lf ops cp --no-lfdocs         # skip repo docs

Options:

Flag	Description
`-e, --exclude`	Exclude patterns
`-c, --clipboard`	Include current clipboard content
`--lfdocs / --no-lfdocs`	Include roadmap/, scratch/, and root .md files
`--diff / --no-diff`	Include raw branch diff
`--diff-files / --no-diff-files`	Include files touched by branch
`--summaries / --no-summaries`	Include pre-generated codebase summaries

lf ops add

Create a new prompt file.

lf ops add my-task            # creates .claude/commands/my-task.md
lf ops add my-task -f         # overwrite if exists

Git Workflow

lf ops pr

Create or update a PR, open in browser.

lf ops pr

Generates a PR description based on the branch diff, creates the PR (or updates if one exists), and opens it in your browser.

Idempotent: run it to create, or again to update after more commits.

lf ops land

Submit PR to merge queue.

lf ops land

Enables auto-merge on your PR. GitHub merges when CI passes and the merge queue clears. Run lf ops wt prune after merge completes to clean up.

lf ops next

Preserve the current worktree and create a fresh branch.

lf ops next

Commits and pushes current changes, optionally rebases, then creates and pushes a timestamped successor branch in the same worktree. If the current PR is already merged, it first resets to the default branch and syncs from origin before creating the next branch.

lf ops commit

Generate commit message and commit.

lf ops commit

Stages changes, generates a commit message based on the diff, and commits.

Options:

Flag	Description
`-p, --push`	Push after committing

lf ops doctor

Check dependencies.

lf ops doctor

Verifies that required tools are installed and working.

lf ops version

Show loopflow version.

lf ops version

lf ops summarize

Generate codebase summaries.

lf ops summarize src/           # Generate summary for src/
lf ops summarize -t 20000 src   # With specific token budget
lf ops summarize -a             # Regenerate all configured summaries

Creates pre-generated LLM summaries for large codebases. Summaries are cached and included in context when configured.

lf ops rebase

Rebase current branch onto main.

lf ops rebase

Fetches main and rebases. If conflicts occur, launches an assistant to help resolve them.

lf ops sync

Update local main to match origin.

lf ops sync

Fetches origin/main and updates your local main branch. Safe to run from any worktree.

lf ops wt

Worktree helper commands.

lf ops wt create

Create worktree with schema-based branch name.

lf ops wt create my-feature            # creates ../my-feature
lf ops wt create my-feature -b develop # from develop instead of main
lf ops wt create feature-B --stack     # stack on current branch

Flag	Description
`-b, --base`	Base branch (default: main)
`-s, --stack`	Stack on current branch (branch from it, PR targets it)

When using --stack, the new worktree branches from the current branch instead of main.

lf ops wt switch

Switch to a worktree by its short directory name.

lf ops wt switch my-feature       # switches to ../my-feature

lf ops wt list

List worktrees with prunable metadata.

lf ops wt list
lf ops wt list --format json

lf ops wt ci

Show CI status for the current branch.

lf ops wt ci

lf ops wt prune

Remove worktrees whose branches have been merged.

lf ops wt prune           # show what would be pruned
lf ops wt prune --dry-run # show what would be pruned
lf ops wt prune --force   # remove prunable worktrees

Finds worktrees where the branch is an ancestor of origin/main (handles squash merges). Never prunes main/master or dirty worktrees.

Flag	Description
`-n, --dry-run`	Show what would be pruned without removing
`-f, --force`	Skip confirmation prompt

lf ops abandon

Abandon a branch: close PR, remove worktree, delete branch.

lf ops abandon feature-branch
lf ops abandon feature-branch --force   # skip confirmation

Flag	Description
`-f, --force`	Skip confirmation and force abandon with uncommitted changes

lf ops shell

Shell integration setup.

lf ops shell init       # print shell integration code
lf ops shell install    # install to shell config file

Installs a wrapper that sources shell directives after lf commands (auto-cd into new worktrees).

Typical Workflow

lf ops wt create my-feature       # create worktree (../my-feature)
lf ops wt switch my-feature       # switch to worktree from another
# ... work on feature ...
lf ops commit                     # commit with generated message
lf ops pr                         # open PR (CI runs automatically)
# ... address review feedback ...
lf ops commit -p                  # commit and push
lf ops wt ci                      # check CI status
lf ops land                       # submit to merge queue
# ... wait for CI to pass and merge ...
lf ops wt prune                   # cleanup merged worktrees
