You MUST use this when verified development work is ready for an integration or handoff decision - merging, pushing, opening a pull request, preserving or discarding a branch, or cleaning up its workspace. Covers safe completion choices based on the actual Git state and verification evidence.

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

# Branch Finish

## Overview

This skill decides what happens to verified work and executes that decision safely. It does
not decide whether the work is verified.

```text
CLEAN UP ONLY AFTER THE INTEGRATED TREE IS VERIFIED AND THE WORKSPACE IS PROVABLY OURS.

Preserving work is always a valid outcome.
```

Integration is the point where a mistake stops being local. A merge into the wrong base, a
deleted branch whose commits exist nowhere else, a removed workspace holding uncommitted notes:
each destroys work that was correct a moment earlier.

## Non-goals

This skill does not implement the work, define test design, investigate failures, gather browser
evidence, request or conduct review, disposition findings, define sufficient evidence, issue the
completion verdict, create or select a workspace, teach general Git usage, or deploy. The
Boundaries table below names the owner of each.

`verification-gate` and `git-worktree-isolation` are the two boundaries most easily blurred. This
skill consumes a verdict from the first and an ownership value from the second. It produces
neither.

This skill creates no persistent state directory. `.branch-finish/` is forbidden, as is any
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sentimony/skills/branch-finish@sha256:ac0223c204c0231d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.18, 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.
