candidate-git-hygiene

What problem does it solve? It prevents accidental loss of uncommitted work and uncontrolled repository cleanup by requiring an audit-first, approval-gated process for Git hygiene tasks like stale branch removal, worktree cleanup, and merge-conflict resolution. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conservative Git Audits: Inspects branches, refs, worktrees, and conflicts before any mutation, preserving uncommitted work. - Approval-Gated Deletion: Requires explicit approval before deleting branches, worktrees, or remote refs, and never force-pushes or bypasses protected review. - Scoped Finish-It Handling: Treats a plain "finish it" request as the current task delivery workflow, staging only task-owned files without expanding into repository-wide pruning. - Use Case: When asked to clean up stale branches after a release, the Skill first audits all branches and worktrees, reports what is safe to remove, and waits for explicit confirmation before deleting anything. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to audit stale Git branches and worktrees in this repository and propose a cleanup plan for approval.
