Finishing a Development Branch

What problem does it solve?

Concluding development work often involves a series of critical steps—testing, merging, creating pull requests, or discarding work—that need to be handled systematically to avoid errors or incomplete cleanup. This skill streamlines the completion process, offering clear options and ensuring proper verification and cleanup.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mandatory Test Verification: Ensures all tests pass before presenting any completion options.
• Structured Completion Options: Presents clear choices: merge locally, push for PR, keep branch, or discard work.
• Automated Git Operations: Executes the chosen Git workflow (merge, push, delete branch) and cleans up worktrees.
• Use Case: After completing a feature, you'll activate this skill. It will run all tests, then ask if you want to merge, create a PR, keep the branch, or discard it, handling all the Git commands for you.
