Does this skill run my project tests automatically?

Yes, the skill detects common test runners like npm test, pytest, and cargo test, ensuring all tests pass before presenting integration options.

What happens if my tests fail during the workflow?

The workflow will halt and display the failures. You must fix the tests before the skill will allow you to proceed with a merge or PR.

Does it support git worktree cleanup?

Yes, it is specifically designed to pair with worktree-based workflows, automatically removing worktrees for merged or discarded branches while preserving them for active PRs.

Can I create GitHub Pull Requests with this skill?

Absolutely. Option 2 in the workflow automatically pushes your branch and uses the GitHub CLI to create a PR with a summary and test plan.

Developer Tools

Streamlines the end of a development cycle by verifying tests and automating the merge or Pull Request process.

This skill provides a structured framework for Claude to wrap up coding tasks efficiently and safely. It ensures that no code is integrated or submitted without first passing the project's test suite, then guides the user through four standardized paths: local merging, GitHub PR creation, branch preservation, or permanent discard. By automating the transition from implementation to integration, it minimizes human error, prevents broken builds, and maintains a clean repository environment through automated git worktree management.

Key Features

01Automated GitHub CLI integration for PR generation with summaries and test plans

02Automated test suite verification across multiple languages (NPM, Cargo, Pytest, Go)

03Standardized decision matrix for merging, PR creation, or branch cleanup

04Strict confirmation guards for discarding work to prevent data loss

05Safe branch deletion and git worktree cleanup protocols

067 GitHub stars

Use Cases

01Merging a completed feature branch into main safely after verifying local tests

02Generating a documented GitHub Pull Request with structured summaries and verification steps

03Cleaning up temporary git worktrees after discarding an experimental development branch
