Phase Finalize Skill

Role: Finalize phase skill. Handles shipping workflow (assert clean tree, push, PR) and plan completion. Under the unconditional per-deliverable commit model, every deliverable was already committed on the feature branch during phase-5-execute, so finalize produces NO plan-level commit — it asserts a clean tree and ships (push + PR). Verification tasks have already been executed within phase-5-execute.

Key Pattern: Shipping-focused execution. No verification steps—all quality checks run as verification tasks within phase-5-execute before reaching this phase. Per-deliverable commits live on the feature branch; main receives the squash at merge — the squash-merge convention is unchanged.

Required steps declaration: This skill opts in to the phase_steps_complete handshake invariant. The canonical list of steps that MUST be marked done on status.metadata.phase_steps["6-finalize"] before the phase transitions is maintained in standards/required-steps.md. Each built-in step's standards document terminates with a manage-status mark-step-done call whose --step value matches an entry in that file.

Enforcement

Shared lifecycle patterns: See phase-lifecycle.md for entry protocol, completion protocol, and error handling convention.

Execution mode: Follow workflow steps sequentially, respecting config gates. Each config-gated step dispatches to a standards/ document.
