It automatically detects if you are working in a worktree and cleans it up after a successful merge or discard, keeping your directory structure organized.

Can it create GitHub Pull Requests?

Yes, it integrates with the GitHub CLI (gh) to push your branch and create a formatted Pull Request with a summary and test plan.

How does it handle accidental deletions?

The skill includes a safety mechanism for the 'Discard' option, requiring the user to explicitly type 'discard' before deleting any branches or commits.

Does this skill run tests automatically?

Yes, it attempts to run standard project test commands like npm test, cargo test, or pytest to ensure code stability before allowing any merge or PR.

Developer Tools

Automates the final steps of a development workflow by verifying tests, managing branch merges, and creating pull requests.

About

The Finishing a Development Branch skill provides a structured framework for completing coding tasks within Claude Code. It ensures code quality by mandating successful test runs before offering four distinct integration paths: local merging, creating a GitHub Pull Request, preserving the branch for later, or discarding experimental work. By automating the cleanup of Git worktrees and providing standardized PR templates, it eliminates manual overhead and prevents common mistakes like merging broken code or leaving behind stale development artifacts.

Key Features

Four-option structured workflow for local merges, PRs, retention, or deletion
Automated GitHub Pull Request generation with bulleted summaries
Smart Git worktree management and post-merge cleanup
Automated test verification across multiple languages (NPM, Cargo, Pytest, Go)
0 GitHub stars
Safe discard mechanism requiring explicit typed confirmation

Use Cases

Merging a completed feature branch into the main branch after verifying all local tests pass
Generating a standardized Pull Request on GitHub with a summary and test plan for team review
Cleaning up experimental worktrees and branches safely after a failed or unnecessary experiment
