  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by fcakyon on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Clean Gone Branches AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/fcakyon/claude-codex-settings.git /tmp/claude-codex-settings
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-codex-settings/plugins/github-dev/skills/clean-gone-branches .claude/skills/clean-gone-branches
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Clean Gone Branches in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Clean Gone Branches on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Clean Gone Branches is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Clean Gone Branches

Remove local git branches that have been deleted from the remote.

Process

  1. Update remote references

    • Run git fetch --prune.
  2. Inspect local state

    • Run git branch -vv to find branches marked as [gone].
    • Run git worktree list to see whether any of those branches still have worktrees.
  3. Remove worktrees first

    • For each [gone] branch that still has a worktree, remove the worktree before deleting the branch.
  4. Delete the gone branches

    • Delete each local branch marked as [gone].
  5. Report the result

    • List removed worktrees and deleted branches.
    • If there are no [gone] branches, report that nothing needed cleanup.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Clean Gone Branches AI skill do?

This skill should be used when user asks to "clean gone branches", "remove deleted local branches", "prune branches removed from remote", or explicitly invokes "clean-gone-branches".

Why use Clean Gone Branches on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Clean Gone Branches is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Clean Gone Branches in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/fcakyon/claude-codex-settings/tree/main/plugins/github-dev/skills/clean-gone-branches. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Clean Gone Branches?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Clean Gone Branches?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Clean Gone Branches with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Clean Gone Branches AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by fcakyon under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
