Does this skill run tests automatically?

Yes, it identifies and runs the project's specific test suite (such as npm test, pytest, or go test) before allowing a merge or PR to proceed.

Is there a safety check for deleting work?

Yes, if you choose to discard your work, the skill requires a specific typed confirmation ('discard') to prevent accidental loss of commits.

What happens if my tests fail?

The skill will halt the integration process and provide a list of failures, requiring you to fix the issues before you can merge or create a PR.

How does it handle workspace cleanup?

For merged or discarded branches, it automatically checks for and removes associated git worktrees to keep your local environment organized.

Can I use this with GitHub?

Yes, the skill includes built-in support for pushing branches and creating Pull Requests using the GitHub CLI (gh).

Developer Tools

Streamlines the final steps of a coding task by verifying tests, managing git merges, and automating pull request creation.

This skill provides a structured workflow for concluding development on a feature branch, ensuring that no code is integrated without first passing the project's test suite. It guides users through four distinct paths—local merging, creating a GitHub pull request, preserving the branch for later, or discarding the work—while handling technical details like base branch detection and git worktree cleanup to maintain a clean development environment.
