Finishing A Development Branch

WHEN: The work on a feature, bug-fix, spike, or experiment branch is functionally complete and the agent is about to choose between merge, open PR, keep open for follow-up, or discard. This is the moment where unfinished cleanup turns into branch-graveyard debt.

When to Use This Skill

Load this skill when:

• Tests pass on the branch and the agent is about to claim "done"
• The Engineer or Auto-Fix Reviewer is about to commit and push but has not chosen a disposition
• An experimentation-loop attempt finished (kept or reverted) and the working branch still exists
• A worktree exists for the branch and the agent is about to switch away without removing it
• A long-running spike branch has been superseded by a different approach

Skip when:

• The branch is the long-lived main / master / develop -- this skill is about feature branches
• The user explicitly wants to keep the branch open without choosing a disposition (rare; ask)
