SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides teams to finish development work by validating tests and selecting a final integration path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic decision points: After tests pass, present a fixed set of four options for how to integrate or cleanup the work.
  • Structured workflow: Validates tests, determines base branch, executes the chosen option, and performs optional cleanup.
  • Use Case: Ideal for feature branches ready for merge, PR creation, or cleanup when the implementation is complete.

Quick Start

Verify tests, determine the base branch, present exactly four options, execute the chosen option, and clean up the worktree.

What are the final steps for a feature branch before creating a pull request?▼

Before creating a pull request for a feature branch, you must verify tests pass, identify the base branch, and choose a deterministic integration option to execute the merge path and perform worktree cleanup.

When do I need to validate tests before merging a development branch?▼

You need to validate tests before merging a development branch whenever implementation is complete and the work is ready for final integration, pull request creation, or branch cleanup in a collaborative software project.

Does this git workflow support deterministic merge options for collaborative projects?▼

Yes, this git workflow enforces a structured process that presents exactly four deterministic options for integrating or cleaning up feature branches in collaborative software development environments.

What is the best way to clean up a worktree after finishing a feature branch merge?▼

The best way to clean up a worktree after finishing a feature branch is to follow a structured workflow that executes your chosen integration path and then performs optional post-merge cleanup automatically.

Can I use this branch finishing workflow without setting up complex dependencies?▼

Yes, you can use this branch finishing workflow without external dependencies, as it operates as a standalone structured process to guide post-merge decisions and pull request creation deterministically.
