Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Finishing a Development Branch

## Overview

**Core principle:** Verify tests → Verify UML model alignment → Detect environment → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.

**Announce at start:** "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."

## The Iron Law

```
NO UML MODEL ELEMENTS OR DIAGRAMS THAT DO NOT MATCH THE CODE
```

If the UML model element or diagram is inconsistent with the code, it must be brought into alignment with the code.

## Step 1: Verify Tests

Run the project's full test suite (`npm test` / `cargo test` / `pytest` / `go test ./...`).

**If tests fail**, report the failures and stop — the menu comes after a green suite:

```
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:

[Show failures]
```

**If tests pass:** continue to Step 2.

## Step 2: Verify UML Model Alignment

**First, confirm Astah has this branch's model open.** Call `get_proj_path` and
compare it against this working tree:

```bash
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
```

| `get_proj_path` returns | Action |
|---|---|
| A path under this working tree | Proceed with verification |
