Does this skill require a specific task manager?

Yes, this skill is designed to work with the beads (bd) task tracking system included in the hyperpowers repository to verify that all epic tasks are completed before finishing.

How does the discard option prevent accidental data loss?

The skill requires you to type 'discard' exactly as a confirmation before it executes any destructive git commands or removes worktrees.

What happens to my local worktree after a PR is created?

The skill preserves your worktree for Pull Request (PR) options, allowing you to easily address review feedback without having to recreate your environment.

Can I skip the test verification step?

No. To maintain code quality, the skill enforces a mandatory test pass via a test-runner agent before presenting any merge or integration options.

Deployment & DevOps

Streamlines the final stages of feature development by closing task epics, verifying tests, and managing branch integration or disposal.

About

The finishing-a-development-branch skill provides a standardized, high-rigidity workflow for concluding development tasks within the hyperpowers ecosystem. It ensures that all associated beads (bd) tasks are closed, mandates a successful test run via a dedicated agent, and guides users through four specific integration paths: local merging, pull request creation, branch preservation, or safe deletion. By automating the transition from 'in-progress' to 'completed,' it prevents the merging of broken code and maintains a clean workspace by managing Git worktrees automatically.
