superpowers-finishing-a-development-branch

What problem does it solve?

Finishing a development branch can be risky without a structured, repeatable process. This skill provides a safe, guided way to verify tests, determine the base branch, and choose a clear post-workflow option to merge, open a PR, or clean up the branch.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Verifies test results on the feature branch before proceeding with any integration step.
• Determines the appropriate base branch (e.g., main or master) and clarifies the correct merge destination.
• Presents four explicit options to handle completion: local merge, PR creation, keeping the branch, or discarding the work.
• Performs optional cleanup of the worktree and feature branch according to the chosen path.
• Use Case: A developer completes changes on a feature branch with green tests and needs a safe hand-off to the team while preserving or removing the feature branch as appropriate.

Quick Start

Begin by ensuring your branch tests pass, then instruct the agent to guide the finalization by presenting the four options.
