Is it safe to use the automated cleanup options?

Yes. The skill is designed to prioritize safety. It checks if branches are merged into your main branch before suggesting removal and always requests explicit confirmation before performing 'nuclear' or forced deletions.

What does 'worktree is locked' mean and how does this skill help?

A lock usually occurs when a Git operation is interrupted or crashes. This skill identifies the specific .lock file in the internal git directory and safely removes it after verifying no Git processes are currently active.

How does this skill optimize disk space for large projects?

It scans all active worktrees to find build artifacts, dependency folders (like node_modules), and stale branches that are no longer needed, providing a centralized way to clean the entire project's footprint.

Can this skill help if I manually deleted a worktree folder without using git commands?

Yes. When folders are deleted manually, Git's registry becomes out of sync. This skill uses diagnostic scripts and the prune command to find and remove these orphaned references.
