What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the cleanup process after a Pull Request (PR) in an Incan project is merged, ensuring a safe and thorough closure of work by verifying merge status, syncing the base branch, and removing task-owned local worktrees/assets, branches, and pruning refs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Verify Merge Status: Checks if the PR has been merged and if the target branch matches the PR head branch.
  • Sync Base Branch: Updates the base branch if clean.
  • Remove Task-Owned Worktrees: Deletes worktrees tied to the merged PR.
  • Delete Merged Branches: Removes local and remote branches of the merged PR.
  • PruneRefs: Removes stale refs.
  • Report Leftovers: Lists and confirms any remaining dirty or ambiguous items.

Quick Start

To initiate the closeout process for a merged PR, run: /closeout

FAQPage Schema
How do I clean up worktrees and branches after a PR merge?▼

To clean up worktrees and branches after a PR merge, you can automate the process by validating the merge status, syncing the base branch, and deleting task-owned worktrees and local branches. This ensures proper branch hygiene.

What is the best way to automate branch cleanup in Incan projects?▼

Automating branch cleanup in Incan projects involves verifying the PR merge status against the target branch, pruning stale refs, and removing task-owned worktrees. This safely closes out completed work and reports any leftover ambiguous items.

How does worktree cleanup handle unmerged or dirty branches?▼

Worktree cleanup handles unmerged or dirty branches by validating the merge status before deletion and reporting leftover dirty or ambiguous items. It ensures safe closure by only removing task-owned worktrees tied to successfully merged PRs.

Can I sync the base branch automatically when closing out a merged PR?▼

Yes, you can sync the base branch automatically when closing out a merged PR. The process updates the base branch if it is clean, synchronizing your local repository state immediately after verifying the PR merge.

Do I need to manually prune stale refs after deleting local branches?▼

No, you do not need to manually prune stale refs after deleting local branches. The closeout process automatically prunes refs, removes task-owned worktrees, and deletes both local and remote branches of the merged PR.
