What happens if I have uncommitted changes in a worktree?

If the skill detects uncommitted changes in a worktree, it will stop and provide options to commit the changes, discard them, or abort the cleanup process to ensure no work is lost.

Does this skill delete unmerged branches by default?

No. The skill performs a safety check using the GitHub CLI to verify if a PR has been merged. If no merged PR is found, it will warn you and require explicit confirmation before deleting any assets.

Does it support both cloud and local task tracking?

Yes. It supports Linear for cloud-based project management and local filesystem-based tracking via STATUS.md files, automatically detecting the source based on the task ID format.

Can I preview which files and branches will be removed?

Yes, you can use the --dry-run flag. This will display a full summary of the git worktrees, local branches, and remote branches that would be deleted, as well as the status updates that would be applied.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the removal of stale git branches and worktrees while synchronizing task status across Linear and local markdown files.

This skill streamlines the developer offboarding process for completed tasks by identifying and removing redundant git assets such as worktrees and feature branches. It serves as an essential bridge between version control and project management, automatically updating task statuses in Linear or local STATUS.md files to ensure progress tracking remains accurate. With built-in safety checks to verify PR merge status and a dry-run mode, it prevents accidental data loss while maintaining a clean and efficient development environment.
