What happens to my local Git worktrees?

The skill intelligently manages worktrees. It preserves them if you choose to 'Keep as-is' but automatically cleans them up after successful local merges or branch discards.

Does this skill allow merging if tests are failing?

No, the skill enforces a 'Verify Tests' step. If the project's test suite fails, it will block the merge or PR process until the issues are resolved.

How does it handle Pull Request creation?

It utilizes the GitHub CLI (gh) to push your branch and create a PR with a structured title, change summary, and test plan automatically.

Can I use this with branches other than 'main'?

Yes, the skill attempts to detect the base branch automatically but allows you to confirm or specify the correct base branch before proceeding.
