Test it
Using "finishing-a-development-branch". The implementation is done. Help me finish this branch.
Expected outcome:
- Tests are checked first and failures block merge or PR steps.
- The assistant identifies or confirms the base branch.
- The assistant presents merge, PR, keep, and discard options.
Using "finishing-a-development-branch". Push this finished work and open a PR.
Expected outcome:
- The assistant verifies tests before pushing.
- The assistant prepares a PR title, summary, and test plan.
- The local worktree is preserved unless cleanup is explicitly appropriate.
Using "finishing-a-development-branch". Discard this branch after I confirm.
Expected outcome:
- The assistant lists what will be deleted.
- The assistant waits for exact typed confirmation.
- The assistant deletes and cleans up only after confirmation.

What You Can Build
Complete a Feature Branch
A developer can ask the assistant to verify tests, choose an integration path, and clean up after the work is complete.
Prepare a Pull Request
A team member can push a finished branch and create a PR with a concise summary and test plan.
Close Temporary Worktrees
A maintainer can remove finished local branches and worktrees after merge or explicit discard confirmation.
Try These Prompts
Finish This Branch
Use the finishing-a-development-branch skill. Verify tests, identify the base branch, then present the completion options before taking action.
Create a Pull Request
Use the finishing-a-development-branch skill to finish this work. If tests pass, help me push the branch and create a pull request.
Merge Locally and Clean Up
Use the finishing-a-development-branch skill. Verify tests, confirm the base branch, merge locally if I choose that option, then verify tests again.
Audit Completion Choices
Use the finishing-a-development-branch skill and explain the safest completion path for this repository after checking tests, branch state, and worktree status.
Best Practices
- Run the project test suite before choosing any completion path.
- Confirm destructive discard actions with exact typed consent.
- Re-run tests after a local merge before deleting the feature branch.
Avoid
- Merging or opening a PR while tests are failing.
- Deleting a branch or worktree without explicit confirmation.
- Assuming the base branch without checking repository history or asking the user.
