Pre-merge branch and PR closeout. Use to identify and implement follow-up work, hard cuts, dependency-native simplification, validation coverage, docs alignment, and merge-readiness fixes.
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 Branch Answer the practical pre-merge question: what remains before this branch is safe, coherent, maintainable, and ready to merge? This is a decision and execution workflow, not a generic code review or a command that automatically ships the branch. ## Modes - **Report-only:** inspect and return blockers, lane scores, required hard cuts, validation, docs work, and decisions. Do not modify the checkout. - **Implementation:** resolve confirmed findings, remove superseded paths, add the narrow proof, align docs, and rerun applicable gates. - **PR closeout:** include hosted checks, review threads, branch state, and mergeability when the user authorizes those read operations. State the mode. Do not commit, push, merge, deploy, or resolve hosted threads unless the user explicitly requests that action and the owning workflow allows it. ## Source Order 1. Dirty worktree, branch diff, tests, generated consumers, and live PR/CI state. 2. Root and nested agent instructions, README, architecture docs, ADRs, specs, package scripts, validation manifests, and release runbooks. 3. Relevant companion skills and their references. …

How to install
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/finalize-branch@sha256:13414823ac1a02baThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
