Does this skill delete my code?

It only deletes local and remote feature branches that have already been merged into the main branch, ensuring your repository stays clean without losing any work.

Where are the finalization artifacts stored?

All artifacts, including specifications, plans, and the generated walkthrough.md, are archived in your project's specs/ or epics/ directory for long-term auditability.

When should I use the finalize-phase skill?

Use this skill immediately after a successful deployment to production or a local build (following commands like /ship-prod or /deploy-prod) to cleanly close the development cycle.

What is the difference between feature and epic finalization?

Feature finalization handles roadmap updates and cleanup, while epic finalization (v5.0+) adds comprehensive walkthrough generation, velocity metrics, and pattern detection for workflow improvements.

How does 'workflow healing' work?

After an epic completes, the skill analyzes performance patterns to detect bottlenecks and suggests specific improvements to your Spec-Flow configuration to optimize future sprints.

Productivity & Workflow

Completes development cycles by archiving artifacts, updating roadmaps, and generating comprehensive epic walkthroughs with velocity metrics.

The finalize-phase skill is the closing engine of the Spec-Flow development methodology, ensuring that every feature or epic concludes with a clean repository and preserved knowledge. It automates tedious post-deployment tasks such as roadmap updates, documentation maintenance, and branch cleanup while providing advanced insights for larger initiatives. For epic workflows, it generates detailed walkthroughs and velocity reports, detects repeating patterns for custom automation, and offers 'workflow healing' to continuously optimize your development process based on real-world performance data.
