What commit message standards does it check for?

It validates your recent commits against the Conventional Commits specification (e.g., feat:, fix:, chore:), which is essential for projects using semantic-release or automated changelogs.

Does this skill delete unmerged branches?

No, the skill uses the safe 'git branch -d' command, which specifically prevents the deletion of branches containing work that has not yet been merged into the default branch.

Can I review branches before they are deleted?

Yes, the skill provides an interactive mode where you can choose to delete all candidates, skip the process entirely, or pick individual branches to delete one by one.

Which branches are protected from deletion?

The skill automatically excludes the default branch (e.g., main or master), develop, and any branches matching the release/* pattern from being considered for cleanup.

Does it affect my remote repository?

Yes, if a local branch is confirmed for deletion and a matching branch exists on the 'origin' remote, the skill will attempt to delete the remote branch as well to keep both environments in sync.
