This skill helps you clean up your local Git branches that no longer exist on the remote server. When a branch is deleted by someone else or merged and removed, your local copy stays behind. Over time these old branches clutter your workspace and cause confusion.
The skill finds every local branch whose remote tracking branch is gone. It also checks for any associated worktrees and removes them first. You just confirm the list and it does the rest. No need to remember complex Git commands or risk deleting the wrong branch.
Anyone who works with Git and keeps a tidy local repository will find this useful. It saves time and keeps your development environment clean.
