Branch Workflow

Core Question

What branch action is safe given the current working tree, tracking configuration, upstream state, divergence, operation state, and requested blast radius?

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• inspect branch state,
• create or switch branches,
• sync with upstream,
• fetch remote state,
• set upstream tracking,
• prepare a branch for PR,
• push a branch after explicit request,
• evaluate force-push or remote branch deletion risk.
