Development Branch Finalizer

About

The Development Branch Finalizer is a specialized workflow skill designed to elevate the quality of code submissions before they reach the review stage. It enforces a rigorous 10-point 'Iron Law' checklist covering code completion, automated testing, security vulnerabilities, performance optimization, and Git hygiene. By guiding developers through self-reviews, branch updates, and the generation of structured Pull Request descriptions, it minimizes reviewer friction and prevents common mistakes like lingering debug statements or missing documentation.
