To create a clean pull request branch, this Skill filters out .planning commits by rewriting branch history. It preserves your code changes while excluding PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, and STATE.md commits, ensuring reviewers only see implementation changes.

Stripping planning files from a git branch diff is done by rebuilding a clean branch history that excludes .planning commits. This removes PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, and STATE.md artifacts, keeping the code review focused solely on implementation changes.

Yes, you can remove PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md commits from your branch before code review. The Skill applies branch history rewriting logic to filter out these planning artifacts while preserving all actual code changes for a review-ready diff.

Git branch cleanup works directly with GSD workflow development files by identifying and filtering out .planning-related commits. It helps teams using Get Shit Done planning files ship code changes cleanly while preserving the local planning history on the original branch.

When filtering commits for a pull request, your local planning history remains preserved on the original branch. The Skill creates a separate, review-ready pull request branch by rebuilding the history to exclude .planning commits without destroying the original planning artifacts.

Planning artifacts like PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, and STATE.md clutter pull request diffs because they are tracked in commit history. To fix it, this Skill rebuilds a clean branch history that excludes these planning commits while keeping your code review focused on implementation changes.
