What problem does it solve?

Completing development work on a branch involves critical steps like verifying tests, deciding on integration (merge, PR), and cleaning up the workspace. Mistakes in this process can lead to broken main branches or lost work. This skill automates and guides the entire completion workflow, ensuring tests pass, presenting clear options, and handling the chosen integration path and worktree cleanup reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory Test Verification: Ensures all tests pass before offering completion options.
  • Structured Integration Options: Presents clear choices for merging, creating a PR, keeping the branch, or discarding work.
  • Automated Cleanup: Handles Git branch deletion and worktree removal based on the chosen option.
  • Use Case: After completing a feature on a development branch, use this skill to verify everything, then choose to merge it locally, create a Pull Request, or discard the work, with automated cleanup.
