Does this skill actually merge my code?

No, it uses 'git merge-tree' to perform a dry-run conflict detection, allowing you to see potential issues without modifying your current branch or history.

How does Workflow Preflight prevent redundant work?

It searches your GitHub repository for existing issues and pull requests related to your current task, notifying you if someone else has already started or completed the work.

Can I use this with an optional issue number?

Yes, providing an issue number allows the skill to specifically target its search for existing PRs and branches that mention that identifier.

What happens if my local branch is behind the remote?

The skill will identify that you are 'behind' and recommend a rebase before you begin implementation to minimize future merge complexity.

协作工具

Validates repository state and checks for existing PRs to prevent redundant work and branch conflicts before starting development.

Workflow Preflight is an essential pre-development utility that ensures your workspace is synchronized and valid before you begin a new feature or fix. It automatically fetches the latest remote state, checks GitHub for existing issues or pull requests to avoid duplicate effort, and performs dry-run merges to detect potential conflicts early. By analyzing branch divergence and uncommitted changes, it provides a structured summary and actionable recommendations, helping developers maintain a clean workflow and avoid the 'stale state' traps that lead to wasted coding time.
