Update After Merge Skill

Clean up local repository after a PR is merged.

Usage

/update-after-merge              # Clean up current feature branch
/update-after-merge branch-name  # Clean up specific branch

What It Does

1. Checks for uncommitted changes (stash if needed)
2. Switches to default branch (main/master)
3. Pulls latest changes
4. Deletes the merged feature branch (local)
5. Deletes remote branch if still exists
6. Prunes stale remote references

Safety

Uses git branch -d (safe delete) - won't delete unmerged branches.
