How does the skill handle accidental deletions?

To prevent accidental loss of work, the Discard option requires the user to explicitly type 'DISCARD' in all caps before any branches or changes are deleted.

Does this skill support GitHub Pull Requests?

Yes, it integrates with the GitHub CLI (gh) to push your feature branch and automatically open a PR with a title and description.

Does it support Git worktrees?

Yes, the skill includes specialized cleanup procedures to exit and remove Git worktrees once work is merged or discarded.

Can I merge code if tests are failing?

No, the Finishing Work skill includes a mandatory safety guardrail that stops the workflow if tests do not return an exit code 0, preventing broken code from reaching your base branch.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines the final stages of the development lifecycle by guiding users through code verification, integration decisions, and repository cleanup.

The Finishing Work skill provides a disciplined, structured framework for concluding implementation tasks within the Research-Plan-Implement (RPI) workflow. By enforcing mandatory test verification and offering four distinct pathways—local merging, pull request creation, archiving for later, or discarding changes—it ensures that no work is left in an ambiguous state. This skill automates the technical complexities of Git branch management and worktree cleanup while prioritizing repository health through safety guardrails that prevent merging failing code or force-pushing to shared branches.
