Does this skill run tests automatically?

Yes, it verifies your project's test suite (npm, pytest, cargo, go test, etc.) and prevents merging or PR creation if tests fail.

What happens to my git worktrees?

For local merges and discards, it automatically identifies and removes associated git worktrees to keep your local environment organized.

Is there a safety check for deleting work?

Yes, if you choose the discard option, the skill requires a specific typed confirmation to prevent the accidental loss of commits and code.

Can it create GitHub Pull Requests?

Yes, it can push your branch to origin and create a GitHub PR with a generated summary and test plan using the GitHub CLI.

How does it update project documentation?

It invokes a librarian subagent to analyze changes against the base branch and automatically updates CLAUDE.md files if APIs or structures changed.

About

This skill streamlines the tail-end of the development lifecycle within Claude Code, ensuring code quality and repository health. It enforces mandatory test verification before offering structured paths for integration, including local merges, GitHub Pull Request creation, or branch preservation. By automating the update of project documentation via context-aware subagents and handling the cleanup of git worktrees, it helps developers maintain a clean workspace and up-to-date project metadata with minimal manual overhead.
