The Finishing a Development Branch skill streamlines the final phase of the software development lifecycle within Claude Code by providing a standardized, error-resistant exit strategy for feature branches. It automates critical pre-integration steps, including mandatory test suite verification and base branch identification, before presenting a clear decision matrix for local merging, GitHub Pull Request creation, or branch preservation. By enforcing test success and providing automated cleanup of Git worktrees, this skill ensures that high-quality code is integrated efficiently while maintaining a clutter-free local repository.
