SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the finalization of development work on a feature branch by verifying tests and guiding the team through a structured merge/PR/cleanup decision.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test verification before proceeding with any integration decision.
  • Base-branch detection to determine where to integrate.
  • Four explicit options: Merge locally, Push and create a PR, Keep the branch as-is, or Discard the work.
  • Optional cleanup of worktrees after the chosen action.
  • Use case: completing a feature branch once development is complete and tests pass in a stable workflow.

Quick Start

Run this skill after your feature branch passes all tests to determine the final integration path.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate git branch merging after tests pass?▼

Automating git branch merging requires verifying tests pass before offering structured integration choices. This skill enforces test verification, detects the base branch, and guides you through merging locally, pushing for a PR, keeping, or discarding the work.

What is the best way to manage git worktree cleanup after feature completion?▼

Managing git worktree cleanup involves choosing an integration path and optionally removing the worktree afterward. This skill performs optional worktree cleanup automatically after you select your final branch action.

Can I push a feature branch for a code review instead of merging locally?▼

Yes, you can push a feature branch for a code review instead of merging locally. The skill provides four explicit options, allowing you to push and create a PR directly rather than executing a local merge.

Does this git workflow integration require a specific base branch setup?▼

No specific base branch setup is required beforehand. The skill automatically detects the correct base branch during the finalization process to determine exactly where your feature branch should integrate.

When should I discard a development branch instead of keeping it?▼

You should discard a development branch when the work is no longer needed or tests fail to pass. The skill provides an explicit discard option alongside keeping the branch as-is, ensuring unwanted code is safely removed.
