Use when a task worktree has passed validation - manually commits, merges, and cleans up, or prepares runner-owned commits and publication.
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
# Finalize Task Finalize one validated task. Use judgment for commit and merge messages. Preserve the worktree and branch whenever state is ambiguous. ## Inputs Accept a task ID and optional `--project <name>`. When invoked by the external runner, treat its exact `project_root`, `worktree_path`, `branch`, `base_branch`, `base_head`, and `validated_head` values as authoritative. Missing or inconsistent runner inputs are a failure. When invoked manually from the task worktree: 1. Resolve `--project` directly from the repository's `.groundwork.yml`; do not depend on or change persisted project selection. 2. Derive the current registered worktree and checked-out task branch. 3. Derive the primary worktree and its checked-out base branch. 4. Treat the current task HEAD as `validated_head`. If validation did not just pass for this exact tree and working state, stop and ask the user to run `validate` first. ## Workflow ### 1. Verify state Before changing anything: 1. Confirm the task path is a registered worktree for exactly the task branch. 2. Confirm the primary worktree is on the base branch and clean. 3. Confirm the task branch HEAD equals `validated_head`. …

How to install
mdr add etr/groundwork/finalize-task@sha256:2e3ee06ed5a9b0a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.d5366e7, 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.
