What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of completing development work, ensuring all tests pass and providing clear, structured options for integrating your changes. It prevents common mistakes like merging broken code or accidentally discarding work.

  • Structured Options: Presents exactly four clear choices for completing work: merge locally, create a Pull Request, keep the branch, or discard work.
  • Automated Cleanup: Handles Git branch deletion and worktree removal based on the chosen option.

The Skill automatically derives your base branch as part of its workflow, then presents your integration options in the context of that resolved base branch.
