What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes local git branches that have already been deleted from the remote, helping you keep repositories clean without risking active work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe branch cleanup: Checks for uncommitted changes and branch sync before deleting anything.
  • Remote-aware pruning: Fetches and prunes remote references, then identifies local branches whose upstream is gone.
  • Protected workflow: Preserves local-only branches and always keeps main, master, and develop intact.
  • Detailed reporting: Summarizes deleted, skipped, and kept branches so you can review the cleanup outcome.
  • Use Case: After merging a batch of pull requests, run this Skill to safely remove stale feature branches from your machine.
