Will this skill delete my branches without asking?

No. The skill is designed with a safety-first approach and requires explicit user approval via interactive prompts before any branch is deleted, moved, or renamed.

Can I recover branches that have been archived?

Yes. Archiving simply moves branches to a specific namespace like archive/completed/ or archive/stopped/. They remain in your Git history and can be checked out or renamed at any time.

Does this work with remote repositories like GitHub?

Yes, it analyzes remote-only branches and can perform remote deletions and pushes to ensure your local environment and origin server stay synchronized.

How does it determine if a branch is safe to delete?

It uses git merge-base and containment checks to verify if the branch's commits already exist in the main branch or an archive branch, ensuring no work is lost.

Streamlines Git repository maintenance by analyzing branch status and archiving completed or stale work into structured namespaces.

The clean-branches skill provides an intelligent, automated workflow for managing Git branch sprawl. It analyzes local and remote branches to determine their merge status, last activity, and containment within the main branch. Instead of simply deleting work, it helps users organize their repository using a structured schema including archive/completed, archive/stopped, and wip namespaces. By running optimized analysis scripts to save tokens and requiring explicit approval for every action, it ensures a safe, efficient, and clutter-free development environment.
