Can I use this skill to create GitHub Pull Requests?

Yes, it integrates with the GitHub CLI to push your branch and generate a structured PR with a summary and test plan.

How does the discard option work?

The discard option is a safety-first feature that requires you to explicitly type 'discard' to confirm the permanent deletion of commits and branches.

Why does the skill require tests to pass before proceeding?

To maintain code quality and prevent the integration of broken code into the main codebase or the creation of failing Pull Requests.

Does this skill handle git worktrees?

Yes, it automatically detects if you are working in a git worktree and cleans it up after local merges or branch deletions.

What happens if my base branch isn't named 'main'?

The skill checks for common base branch names like 'main' and 'master' and will ask for confirmation to ensure it integrates with the correct branch.

This skill automates the critical final stages of the development lifecycle, ensuring code integrity through mandatory test verification before any integration occurs. It provides a structured decision-making framework for Claude, offering four clear paths: merging locally, initiating a GitHub Pull Request, preserving the branch, or securely discarding work. By automating complex git operations and worktree cleanup, it reduces manual errors and maintains repository hygiene, making it an essential tool for developers working in complex monorepos or fast-paced feature-branch environments.
