A workflow for finishing a development branch after its tests pass. It can merge the branch, push it and open a pull request, leave it for later, or discard it with confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to complete a branch, merge it locally, create a pull request for review, keep the work unchanged, or remove it when authorised.
Why use it?
It ensures the full test suite is checked and uncommitted changes are handled before code is shipped. It also makes the final branch decision explicit.

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

ship 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 3d 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

Ship

Finish the work on "$ARGUMENTS". Verify tests pass, then choose how to ship: merge locally, create a PR, keep the branch, or discard.

Prerequisites

None — this is a utility skill that runs when development is complete.

Process

  1. Verify readiness:

    • Run the project's full test suite
    • All tests must pass — if any fail, stop and report
    • Check for uncommitted changes — commit or stash first
  2. Present shipping options to the user:

    Option 1: Merge locally

    • Merge the branch into main/master
    • Delete the feature branch
    • Push to remote

    Option 2: Push and create PR

    • Push the branch to remote
    • Create a pull request with summary and test plan
    • Keep the branch for review

    Option 3: Keep as-is

    • Don't merge or push — keep the branch for more work later

    Option 4: Discard

    • Delete the branch and all changes
    • Requires explicit confirmation from the user
  3. Execute the chosen option:

    • Follow the steps for the selected option
    • Report the result (PR URL, merge commit, etc.)

Output

No artifact — executes the chosen shipping action and reports the result to the user.

Changes

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.
