Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, for the 'Push and create a Pull Request' option, the skill utilizes the 'gh' CLI to automate PR creation with a structured summary and test plan.

How does it handle Git worktrees?

The skill automatically detects if you are working in a worktree. It will clean up the worktree after local merges or discards, but preserves it if you choose to keep the branch as-is.

What happens if my tests fail during the process?

The skill will identify the failures and halt the process immediately. You must fix the tests before it allows you to proceed with merging or creating a Pull Request.

Can I recover a branch after selecting the Discard option?

Discarding is permanent. To prevent accidents, the skill requires you to manually type 'discard' to confirm the deletion of all commits and worktrees associated with that branch.

Developer Tools

Streamlines the finalization of Git feature branches by verifying tests and automating merge, PR, or cleanup workflows.

This skill provides a structured framework for concluding development tasks within Claude Code, ensuring code quality and repository health. It mandates test verification before offering four distinct paths: merging locally, creating GitHub Pull Requests, preserving branches, or discarding work. By automating repetitive Git commands and managing worktree cleanup, it reduces manual overhead and prevents common errors like merging broken code or leaving stale worktrees.
