Primary pipeline tail step after /pre-merge, when a reviewed PR is ready to land and you want the workspace back to a clean base. Use to merge, switch off the worktree before removing it, prune the merged branch, pull base, and verify a clean end state. Triggers on 'close out', 'merge and clean up', 'get back to a clean main/base', 'tear down the worktree'. Not for capturing lessons (that's /compound) or closing PRD/slice issues and research-artifact hygiene…
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
# Closeout
Take a reviewed PR and return the workspace to a clean base — merge, switch the shell off the worktree before removing it, prune the merged branch, pull base, and verify the end state. This is the pipeline's tail: the most-repeated motion ("I'm done, merge it and get me back to a clean main") moved out of the user's head and into a skill.
## Why This Exists
`/execute` Step 0 *creates* a worktree for every slice; until this skill existed, nothing *removed* one. Worktrees are a stock with an inflow and no outflow, so the stock rises without bound (Meadows, *Thinking in Systems* — the structural escape for an inflow-without-outflow stock is to *add the missing feedback loop*, not to exhort harder). The merge → teardown → pull sequence lived only in the user's memory, and "prospective memory fails silently" (Norman, *The Design of Everyday Things* — move the knowledge from the head into the world). The ordering is genuinely error-prone: removing a worktree while the shell's cwd is still *inside* it strands the shell on a trashed directory, and a `node_modules`-dependent Stop hook firing from there emits a wall of false `MODULE_NOT_FOUND` "lint/type errors" that read like

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/closeout@sha256:88ab495e0ce9d458The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.d548445, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
