Does it delete branches after the merge is complete?

Yes, by default it deletes both local and remote feature branches once the merge is successful, though it can skip this if the branch is shared.

What happens if the automated tests fail?

The skill will report the failures and exit immediately without merging, ensuring that no broken code enters your integration branch.

What does the Finish Feature skill do?

It automates the process of merging a feature branch back into the main development branch, including validation, testing, and branch cleanup.

Does it update my changelog automatically?

Yes, it identifies changes and updates the [Unreleased] section of CHANGELOG.md following the 'Keep a Changelog' standard using imperative tense.

Which branch is considered the integration branch?

The skill typically targets the 'develop' branch as the integration point, consistent with standard GitFlow practices.

Developer Tools

Automates the final stages of a GitFlow feature lifecycle, including testing, changelog updates, and branch merging.

About

This skill streamlines the GitFlow workflow by handling the complex steps required to safely close a feature branch. It automatically normalizes branch names, ensures the working tree is clean, runs necessary test suites, and updates the project's CHANGELOG.md following 'Keep a Changelog' standards. Once validated, it merges the code into the integration branch—typically develop—using standard merge practices and performs cleanup of local and remote branches, ensuring a consistent and error-free development process for teams using GitFlow.
