What if I want to discard my changes?

The skill includes a safety check for Option 4 (Discard), requiring you to explicitly type 'discard' before it permanently deletes branches or commits.

What happens to my git worktrees?

The skill intelligently manages worktrees, automatically removing them after local merges or discards, while preserving them if you choose to keep the branch as-is.

Can I use this to create GitHub Pull Requests?

Absolutely. If you select the PR option, the skill uses the GitHub CLI to push your branch and generate a PR with a bulleted summary and test plan.

Does this skill run my project tests automatically?

Yes, it detects and runs the appropriate test suite (such as npm test, cargo test, or pytest) and blocks integration if any tests fail.

Developer Tools

Streamlines the end-of-development workflow by verifying tests and providing structured options for merging, PR creation, or cleanup.

The Development Branch Finalizer is a specialized skill designed to bring structure and safety to the end of a coding task. It prevents common mistakes by enforcing a 'test-first' verification step before allowing any integration. Once tests pass, the skill guides the user through a standardized four-option menu: merging locally, pushing to a Pull Request, preserving the branch, or discarding work. It features deep integration with Git and the GitHub CLI, ensuring that branch cleanup and worktree management are handled automatically based on the chosen workflow.

Key Features

01Safety-first confirmation protocol for discarding experimental work.

02Intelligent base branch detection for main and master branches.

03Integrated GitHub CLI support for instant Pull Request creation with summaries.

04Automatic git worktree cleanup and branch management.

052 GitHub stars

06Automated test verification for major frameworks (npm, cargo, pytest, go).

Use Cases

01Standardizing the feature-completion process across a development team.

02Ensuring code quality by blocking merges on failing test suites.

03Automating the transition from a local worktree to a remote Pull Request.
