SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test Verification: Runs or instructs verification of the project's test suite before any integration step.
  • Structured Options: Presents four concise choices: merge locally, push and create a PR, keep the branch, or discard with explicit confirmation.
  • Safe Execution & Cleanup: Automates merging, PR creation, branch deletion, and git worktree cleanup while requiring typed confirmation for destructive actions; useful when finishing a feature, preparing a release, or cleaning up stale worktrees.
