Can I use it for normal branches or commit SHAs?

Yes, it supports standard branch names, tags, and commit SHAs in addition to GitHub Pull Requests.

How does this skill handle Pull Requests?

It parses the PR URL or number, fetches metadata via the GitHub CLI, and sets up an isolated worktree for local review so you don't have to leave your current branch.

Why use worktrees instead of a standard git checkout?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories, preventing the need to stash or commit unfinished work when switching tasks.

Does it require any external tools?

Yes, this skill relies on Git and the GitHub CLI (gh) being installed on your system to fetch PR details and manage worktree operations.
