autoresearch-finalize

To split git experiment branches into independent reviewable commits, this Skill reads autoresearch.jsonl and autoresearch.md, expands short commits to full hashes, computes the merge-base with main, and creates a branch per kept commit for review and collaboration.

Converting autoresearch experiments into branches derived from the merge-base requires running a finalize script with a groups.json file, which generates independent branches from the merge-base to enable parallel review and merging.

Validating group boundaries when splitting branches is supported by checking that no file is touched by more than one group, while also previewing dependencies across groups to ensure clean separation.

Node.js is a required dependency to finalize autoresearch sessions into clean branches, as the Skill relies on the Node runtime to execute its finalize script and process the git automation.

Verifying that the union of all group branches matches the original autoresearch branch ensures no commits or file changes were lost during the split, providing a reliable summary with cleanup guidance for the review process.

Preparing autoresearch data for branch splitting involves ensuring your autoresearch.jsonl and autoresearch.md files are available, then defining a groups.json configuration to describe your session boundaries for the finalize script.
