Why does the skill ask me to restart Claude Code?

If you are working inside a git worktree, the skill must switch to the main repository before deleting the worktree to avoid crashing the current session. A restart ensures you are in a stable directory.

How does the GitHub PR option work?

It pushes your local branch to the origin and uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to create a formatted Pull Request containing a summary of changes and a test plan.

What happens if tests fail during the workflow?

The skill will halt the process immediately. It requires all tests to pass before any merge or PR options are presented to ensure code quality.

Can I use this for local development only?

Yes, the 'Merge locally' option allows you to integrate your work into your main or master branch on your machine without pushing to a remote server.

Does it support my specific programming language?

The skill supports common test commands for JavaScript, Rust, Python, and Go, and can be adapted for other environments that follow standard CLI test patterns.
