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

It checks if the branch has been merged into the main branch, verifies the status of any associated GitHub Pull Requests, and checks if the remote tracking branch still exists.

Can I scope the triage to only specific git items?

Yes, you can scope the command to focus specifically on 'worktrees', 'stash', or 'branches' if you don't need a full inventory.

Does Git Triage automatically delete my work?

No. Git Triage is designed with safety first. It provides recommendations and requires explicit user confirmation for every individual or bulk deletion action.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

While it can function with basic git commands, it provides much richer context (like PR status and URLs) if the GitHub CLI (gh) is installed and authenticated.

Developer Tools

Provides a comprehensive inventory of git worktrees, stashes, and branches with intelligent cleanup recommendations.

Git Triage is a specialized developer tool designed to provide high-level situational awareness within complex Git environments. It scans your local worktrees, stashes, and branches, enriching each with deep context by checking GitHub PR statuses, local plan files, and commit history. This skill helps developers quickly answer 'where did I leave off?' or 'what can I safely delete?' by categorizing work into actionable states and offering an interactive cleanup workflow that ensures repository hygiene without the risk of accidental data loss.
