superpowers-finishing-a-development-branch

superpowers-finishing-a-development-branch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from christopherarter/superpowers-reasonix. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for completing a finished development branch—the separate line of work where code changes are made—after tests pass. It covers checking the environment, choosing a merge or pull-request workflow, and cleaning up.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after development to confirm tests, inspect the Git setup, choose how to merge or create a pull request, and remove temporary worktrees when appropriate.
Why use it?
It ensures changes are verified and the correct branch and worktree are handled before integration.

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

superpowers-finishing-a-development-branch 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 12d 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 a Development Branch

Overview

Present clear options. Handle chosen workflow.

Core principle: Verify tests → detect environment → present options → execute choice → clean up.

Announce at start: "I'm using the superpowers-finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."

The Process

Step 1: Verify Tests

Verify tests pass before options (use superpowers-verification-before-completion):

npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...

Tests fail: report failures. Cannot merge/PR until they pass. Stop. Tests pass: continue.

Step 2: Detect Environment

Capture all three up front, before any later step changes directory — WORKTREE_PATH must reflect where you are now, not after Step 5 has cd'd to the main repo root:

GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
WORKTREE_PATH=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
State Menu Cleanup
GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON (normal repo) Standard 4 options No worktree to clean up
GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON, named branch Standard 4 options Provenance-based (Step 6)
GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON, detached HEAD Reduced 3 options (no merge) No cleanup (externally managed)

Step 3: Determine Base Branch

git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null || git merge-base HEAD master 2>/dev/null

Or ask: "Branch split from main — correct?"

Step 4: Present Options

Normal repo or named-branch worktree — present exactly these 4 options:

Implementation complete. What would you like to do?

1. Merge back to <base-branch> locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is (I'll handle it later)
4. Discard this work

Which option?

Detached HEAD — present exactly these 3 options:

Implementation complete. You're on a detached HEAD (externally managed workspace).

1. Push as new branch and create a Pull Request
2. Keep as-is (I'll handle it later)
3. Discard this work

Which option?

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.
