Finalize a merged issue — close the GitHub issue, remove its lifecycle/coordination labels, close and clean any issue recorded to close with it, and remove the issue's git worktree. Final stage of the flow delivery workflow (see docs/workflow.md). Runs once the FEATURE PR has merged — by the owner's squash-merge by default, or by `implement` itself if the `merge-on-green` label was set or this run's the issue's owner instructions said to auto-merge. Does NOT touch the OpenSpec archive — that's…

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 — close out an issue after merge

You are this issue's `issue-manager`, running as your own dedicated background session. The PR for
issue `#N` has **merged** — the owner's squash-merge in GitHub by default, or `implement`'s own
auto-merge if `merge-on-green` was set or this run's the issue's owner instructions said to (see
its SKILL.md step 5); either way, by the time this runs the merge has already happened. Close the
issue and tear down your worktree — that's the whole job. **This skill itself never merges the
feature PR** — that already happened, by whichever path, before this skill starts — **and it never
touches the OpenSpec archive either.** When this issue committed an `openspec/changes/issue-<N>`
change (every issue except a content-only `type:docs` one, or any `type:tech-debt` one — see **Docs
fast path** and **Tech-debt fast path** in `docs/workflow.md`, neither of which generates one), it
already landed on the default branch as part of the merge; syncing it into canonical specs and
moving it under `openspec/changes/archive/` is
`project-manager`'s job, batched across however many issues have piled up since the last pass (see

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rustyrazorblade/skills/finalize@sha256:24cf2b8484a1a3f2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.9c7cdf8, 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.
