finish-branch SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

finish-branch from khaledsaeed18/dotclaude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Wrap up a completed development branch by verifying tests pass, detecting the workspace state, then presenting clear merge / PR / keep / discard options and executing the chosen one safely, including correct worktree and branch cleanup. Use when implementation is done, tests should be green, and you need to integrate or put away the work.

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

Bring a finished branch to a clean conclusion: confirm the work actually passes, figure out what kind of workspace you're in, offer the user a small set of concrete options, and carry out their choice without losing anything. The shape is always the same: verify, detect, present, execute, clean up.

## Step 1: Verify tests before offering anything

Run the project's full test suite (`npm test` / `cargo test` / `pytest` / `go test ./...` as appropriate). If anything fails, stop here: show the failures and say the work can't be merged or turned into a PR until they pass. Don't present the options menu over a red suite. (The `verify-completion` skill is the standard: run it, read the output, then proceed.)

## Step 2: Detect the workspace state

```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
```

- `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON`: a normal repo checkout; no worktree to clean up.
- `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, on a named branch: a linked worktree; cleanup depends on who created it (Step 5).
- `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, detached HEAD, externally managed; offer the reduced menu and don't clean up.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/finish-branch@sha256:5361794bdbfa606c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.3a2f779, 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.
