Check once whether the branch's merge target (the branch its PR is based on) advanced or the PR landed since the branch was last attested, then hand any advance back to the enclosing flow to decide. While the PR is open, also reconcile the `Proposed squash body:` comment `/finalize` left on it, and the PR title it lands under — editing both in place when the branch has drifted from them. A manual one-shot — run it when you return to a session whose branch is attested to see if the merge target…

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

**Optional branch/PR target**: if the first token of the argument is a branch
name, `#NNN` PR number, or PR URL, then `/check-merge <target>` is shorthand for
attaching to that branch first and then checking — equivalent to
`/from-branch <target> check-merge`. Load `@.claude/skills/from-branch/SKILL.md`
and follow it to attach to `<target>`, then run the check below. With no
argument, check the current branch as usual.

Check **once** whether the branch's **merge target** has moved out from under
the branch, or whether the PR landed. The merge target is the branch the open PR
is **based on** — resolved from the PR, not hardcoded to `main` — so this stays
correct for a PR based on a promotion branch or a long-lived feature branch.
With no PR it falls back to the repo default branch. Once the branch is attested
the enclosing flow **ends its turn** (so the session reads as **idle**, not
pinned as "working"); when the operator returns and runs `/check-merge`, this
performs a single check and reports. This is the last check before the code
lands: nothing runs at merge time, so a base that moved out from under an
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vzakharov/muthur/check-merge@sha256:7f4ab8793922a818

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.34a00c5, 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.
