finishing-work

finishing-work is a skill for Claude Code from bostonaholic/rpikit. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,506 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured workflow for completing implementation work after the code review and verification steps are finished. It guides the choice between merging locally, opening a pull request, deferring the work, or discarding it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the end of a coding task to verify tests, identify the target branch, choose an integration path, and clean up the work.
Why use it?
It prevents completed work from being left in an unclear state and requires tests to pass before integration decisions are made.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

finishing-work 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 11d 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.

Finishing Work

Verify tests, present options, execute chosen workflow, clean up.

Purpose

Implementation without proper completion leaves work in limbo. This skill provides structured options for finishing work: merge locally, create PR, defer for later, or discard. Each option has specific procedures and cleanup requirements.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, verify:

  1. All implementation steps completed
  2. All verifications passed
  3. Code review completed (if applicable)
  4. Security review completed (if applicable)

Do not proceed with failing tests. Fix them first.

The Completion Workflow

Step 1: Verify Tests Pass

Run the full test suite:

Run: [project test command]
Verify: Exit code 0, all tests pass

If tests fail: Stop. Do not proceed until tests pass.

Step 2: Identify Base Branch

Determine the target branch for integration:

Common targets:
- main (most common)
- master (legacy naming)
- develop (gitflow)
- [feature-branch] (nested features)

Check git configuration or ask if unclear.

Step 3: Present Options

Present exactly four options without elaboration:

  1. Merge locally - Merge to base branch on local machine
  2. Create pull request - Push and open PR for review
  3. Keep for later - Leave branch as-is to continue later
  4. Discard work - Delete branch and changes

Use AskUserQuestion to get user's choice.

Step 4: Execute Chosen Option

Option 1: Merge Locally
1. Checkout base branch
   git checkout [base-branch]

2. Pull latest changes
   git pull origin [base-branch]

3. Merge feature branch
   git merge [feature-branch]

4. Run tests on merged result
   [project test command]

5. If tests pass, push
   git push origin [base-branch]

6. Delete feature branch
   git branch -d [feature-branch]
   git push origin --delete [feature-branch]

Never merge without verifying tests pass on the result.

Option 2: Create Pull Request
1. Push feature branch
   git push -u origin [feature-branch]

2. Create PR using gh CLI
   gh pr create --title "[title]" --body "[description]"

3. Report PR URL to user

4. Keep branch active for PR review

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.
