finalize

A command that completes a code change by formatting files, updating project notes, checking test coverage, running tests, and preparing a Git commit and push.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing code when you want to format the project, add tests for uncovered changes, run the test suite, commit the result, and push it. An optional argument can provide the commit message.
Why use it?
It gathers the routine finishing steps into one workflow and can retry fixes when tests fail.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

finalize scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Finalize the current work: format, test, fix, commit, and push.

Run this command after making code changes to complete the development cycle. It handles formatting, testing (with auto-fix retries), committing, and pushing.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS is an optional commit message override. If not provided, compose one automatically from the diff.

Workflow:

  1. Format code

    • Run uv run black ace/ tests/ examples/
  2. Update CLAUDE.md

    • Run /init to update the project's CLAUDE.md file with current codebase context
  3. Review test coverage

    • Check if the changes have adequate test coverage
    • Look at which lines/branches are untested for the modified files
    • If coverage gaps exist for the changed code, add targeted tests before proceeding
    • Focus on: new functions, error paths, edge cases, and branches introduced by this changeset
  4. Run tests

    • Run uv run pytest
  5. Test-fix loop (max 3 retries)

    • If tests pass, continue to step 6
    • If tests fail:
      • Analyze the failure output
      • Fix the failing code or tests
      • Add missing tests if the failures reveal gaps
      • Re-run formatter: uv run black ace/ tests/ examples/
      • Re-run tests: uv run pytest
      • If tests still fail after 3 total attempts, stop entirely and report the failures. Never commit broken code.
  6. Security review

    • Run /security-review to scan changed code for vulnerabilities
    • If Critical or High severity issues are found, fix them before proceeding
    • After fixing, re-run formatter (uv run black ace/ tests/ examples/) and tests (uv run pytest)
    • If issues can't be auto-fixed, report them and stop
  7. Review changes

    • Run git diff to review all changes
    • Run git status to see untracked/modified files
    • Determine which files to stage
  8. Stage files selectively

    • Use explicit git add <file> for each file. Never use git add -A or git add .
    • Never stage: .env, credentials, secrets, __pycache__/, *.pyc, large binaries, .DS_Store
    • Only stage uv.lock if dependency changes in pyproject.toml were intentional
    • If unsure about a file, ask the user
  9. Compose commit message

    • If $ARGUMENTS was provided, use it as the commit message
    • Otherwise, compose a Conventional Commit message: <type>(<scope>): <short description>
    • Types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, perf, style
    • Derive scope from the primary changed file path (e.g., ace/skillbook.py -> skillbook, ace/integrations/litellm.py -> integrations, tests/test_foo.py -> tests)
    • Keep messages short and imperative
  10. Check branch safety

    • Run git branch --show-current to get the current branch
    • If on main or master, warn the user and ask for explicit confirmation before committing
    • If denied, stop without committing
  11. Commit and push

    • Commit with the composed message
    • Push to remote: git push (or git push -u origin <branch> if no upstream is set)
  12. Report summary

    • Commit hash (short)
    • Branch name
    • Files changed count
    • Test results (pass count)
    • Any warnings encountered

Error handling:

  • If no changes exist (clean working tree), report "Nothing to finalize" and stop
  • If tests fail after 3 retries, report failures and stop without committing
  • If push fails, report the error but keep the local commit
  • If formatter fails, report the error and stop
  • If security review finds unfixable Critical/High issues, report and stop without committing

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

finalize is a command published in the GitHub repository kayba-ai/agentic-context-engine (2,561 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 902 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
