Skill instructions
<!-- Customize this skill and select save to override its behavior. Delete that copy to restore the built-in behavior. -- Merge Changes Merge the topic branch (checked out in the current worktree) into the merge base branch (checked out in the main worktree). The context block appended to the prompt contains the source branch, target branch, and main worktree path. Guidelines - Never force-push (--force, --force-with-lease) without explicit user approval. - Never skip pre-push hooks (do not use --no-verify). - Never rewrite or drop commits without asking the user. - When in doubt about conflict resolution — ask the user. Workflow 1. Commit uncommitted changes in the current worktree Check for uncommitted changes in the current worktree: git status --porcelain If there are uncommitted changes, use the /commit skill to commit them before continuing. 2. Merge the topic branch into the base branch Use git -C <main-worktree-path to run commands against the main worktree without leaving theVerified compatibility and discovery
