Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup.

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

Guide completion of development work by presenting clear options and handling chosen workflow.

**Core principle:** Verify tests → Detect environment → Surface closure → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.

## Input

`<worktree-path>` - the absolute path of the worktree to finish, from the `using-git-worktrees` report or the handoff brief. Before anything else - before the announcement and before `phase_tracker` start - if it is missing, stop with "finishing needs the worktree path: /skill:finishing-a-development-branch <worktree-path>" and do nothing else. Derive the primary checkout once:

```bash
WORKTREE=<worktree-path>
PRIMARY=$(dirname "$(git -C "$WORKTREE" rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir)")
FEATURE=$(git -C "$WORKTREE" branch --show-current)
```

The process cwd never changes; every command targets `$WORKTREE` or `$PRIMARY` explicitly.

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

Then call `phase_tracker({ action: "start", phase: "ship" })`.

## The Process

### Step 1: Verify Tests

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jjuraszek/pi-gauntlet/finishing-a-development-branch@sha256:37b51d661b69b7c4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c79e361, 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.
