What problem does it solve?
This Skill closes feature and epic workstreams after deployment by generating comprehensive finalization artifacts, updating the roadmap, archiving artifacts, refreshing documentation, and cleaning up branches to preserve knowledge for future work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Epic walkthrough generation: Creates a machine-readable walkthrough for epics (v5.0+), including velocity metrics, sprint results, and lessons learned.
- Roadmap updates: Moves shipped features to the "Shipped" section with deployment date, version, and links.
- Artifact archival: Validates and archives all required phase artifacts in specs/NNN-slug/, maintaining a complete audit trail.
- Documentation updates: Refreshes README and CHANGELOG (and user guides if applicable) to reflect new functionality.
- Branch hygiene: Cleans up feature branches locally and remotely after successful deployment.
- Finalization commit: Records the closure as a dedicated, well-described commit to support auditability.
Quick Start
After deployment completes, run the finalization workflow to close out the feature/epic lifecycle, generate artifacts, update docs, and tidy branches. Example actions include updating the roadmap, archiving artifacts, and committing a finalization record.
