Stale Branch Detection

Identify git branches that are candidates for cleanup: merged-but-not-deleted and inactive branches with no recent commits.

Auto-Invoke Triggers

This skill automatically activates when:

1. Keywords: "stale branches", "old branches", "branch cleanup", "prune branches", "dead branches", "unused branches", "inactive branches", "branch hygiene"
2. Actions: "list branches to delete", "find stale branches", "clean up branches"

Arguments

• --threshold <months> — Inactivity threshold in months (default: 3)
• --base <branch> — Base branch for merge check (default: main)
• --remote — Include remote branch analysis
