Clean up everything stale after merges in one pass: local branches fully merged into the default branch, remote-tracking refs whose remote is gone, and worktrees that look "modified" but are already on main. Scans, classifies, presents a clear plan, and only acts on confirmation. Supports `--dry-run` and `--yes`. Use whenever the user mentions cleaning up branches OR worktrees, tidying git state after a batch of PRs landed, or noticing stale debris. Trigger on: "clean up branches…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Git Post-Merge Cleanup

After a batch of PRs land, the local repo accumulates debris: fully merged
branches, tracking refs whose remote was deleted by GitHub, and worktrees
that still show "modified" files even though those changes are already on
main. This skill cleans all of it in one pass — scan, classify, present a
plan, confirm, execute. The scan is cheap; always do both classes.

## Flags

- `--dry-run` — scan and present the plan, but do not delete anything.
- `--yes` — skip the confirmation prompt. Still presents the plan first.

Default (no flags): scan, present plan, wait for confirmation.

## Step 1 — Refresh remote state

The default scan and `--dry-run` are read-only: use existing refs and `git ls-remote --heads --tags origin` to observe remote state without updating local refs. Record freshness; remote failure means UNKNOWN, not safe to delete. Fetch/prune is an optional approved mutation, never part of the nonmutating preview.

Tags: scan and classify tags nonmutantly before any deletion actions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/git-post-merge-cleanup@sha256:adf8f6a669e1ea0a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
