Frequently Asked Questions about cleanup-template

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove template references from a cloned git repository?▼

Detaching template references involves scanning a cloned repository for template markers like .claude/template-source and replacing the source template name with the current project name. This process ensures the new project is fully independent of its template.

When do I need to detach a template from an existing project?▼

You need to detach a template from a project when you have cloned a repository for a new project and it still contains stale references to the original source template name. Detaching replaces these references with the new project name to prevent conflicts.

How do I replace the template name with the project name across a whole repo?▼

You can replace a template name across a whole repo by running a detachment workflow that scans for template markers, prepares a change summary of all occurrences, and applies the edits to swap the template name with the current project name.

Can I review repository changes before the template name is replaced?▼

Yes, you can review changes before the template name is replaced because the detachment workflow prepares a change summary and requires explicit user approval before applying any edits to the repository files.

Does the detachment process check specific files like .claude/template-source?▼

Yes, the detachment process checks specific files like .claude/template-source and other template markers within the local clone to consistently detect and replace all references to the original template name.
