finishing-a-development-branch
Structured workflow for completing development branches with test verification and merge/PR options.
- Verifies all tests pass before presenting integration options, preventing broken code from being merged or submitted
- Presents exactly four choices: merge locally, create a pull request, keep the branch as-is, or discard with confirmation
- Executes the chosen workflow, including base branch detection, git operations, and worktree cleanup
- Integrates with subagent-driven-development and executing-plans skills to finalize completed work
Finishing a Development Branch
Overview
Core principle: Verify tests → Detect environment → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.

Step 1: Verify Tests
Run the project's full test suite (npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...).
If tests fail, report the failures and stop — the menu comes after a green suite:
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:
