MUST USE when implementation is verified and you need to choose the branch outcome: merge, PR, keep, or discard. Triggers on: "merge this", "create a PR", "squash and merge", "we're done with this branch", "clean up the branch", "push this", "get it merged", after verification-before-completion passes. Routed by using-superpowers or executing-plans at completion.

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

Close development work with explicit integration choice.

## Step 1: Verify

Run full project verification before offering options.

If verification fails, stop and return to implementation.

## Step 2: Identify Base Branch

Detect merge base (`main`/`master` or repo default) and confirm if unclear.

## Step 3: Offer Exactly Four Options

1. Merge back to `<base-branch>` locally
2. Push branch and open PR
3. Keep branch/worktree as-is
4. Discard branch/worktree

## Step 4: Execute Safely

### Option 1
- Checkout base
- Pull latest
- Merge feature branch
- Re-run verification
- Remove worktree (follow "Removing a worktree" below)
- Delete merged branch

### Option 2
- Push feature branch
- Create PR with a description that includes:
  - **What changed** — one-paragraph summary of the change set
  - **Why** — the motivation or problem this solves (link to plan doc if one exists)
  - **How to verify** — exact commands or steps a reviewer can run to confirm the change works
  - **Notable decisions** — any trade-offs made, alternatives rejected, or non-obvious choices.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator/finishing-a-development-branch@sha256:b16b967f338af0ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.8280e38, 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.
