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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00027 | $0.02258 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00903 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00452 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00226 |
Grade A, and why
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 today.
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.
This is a copy
91% identical to finishing-a-development-branch — 112 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Finishing a Development Branch
Overview
Core principle: Verify tests → Detect environment → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.
Announce at start: "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."
Step 1: Verify Tests
Run the completion commands in AGENTS.md, including ranking
evaluation when applicable. Do not substitute a partial check for that gate.
If it fails, report the failures and stop , the menu comes after a clean run:
Verification failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:
[Show failures]
If it passes: you already have fresh, real verification evidence from the command you just ran , completion is safe now. Then continue to Step 2.
Step 2: Detect Environment
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)
# Capture now, while still inside the workspace , Step 5 changes directory
# before cleanup (Step 6) needs this value
WORKTREE_PATH=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
This determines which menu to show and how cleanup works:
| State | Menu | Cleanup |
|---|---|---|
GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON (normal repo) |
Standard 3 options | No worktree to clean up |
GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON, named branch |
Standard 3 options | Provenance-based (see Step 6) |
GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON, detached HEAD |
Reduced 2 options (no merge) | Externally managed , leave in place |
Step 3: Determine Base Branch
The base branch is whatever this work forked from , usually named in the plan, the conversation, or the branch's upstream. If it is not already known, ask: "This branch split from - is that correct?" Confirm before merging: merging into the wrong base is expensive to undo.
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.

finishing-a-development-branch is a skill published in the GitHub repository flowing-abyss/obsidian-hybrid-search (113 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 2,258 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to finishing-a-development-branch, differing in 112 lines, and is treated as a copy.

git-wrapup
Land working-tree changes as logical commits — the work grouped by concern, topped by a release commit (version bump, changelog, regenerated artifacts). The work commits land first, then the version bump, verification, and the release commit on top. Stops at "committed locally on main" — or, when the project releases…
release-and-publish
Ship a release end-to-end across every registry the project targets (npm, MCP Registry, GitHub Releases for .mcpb bundles, GHCR). Runs the final verification gate, fast-forwards main when the release rode a release PR, creates the annotated tag on the commit main now points at, pushes commits and tags, then publishes…
release-pr-review
Review pass on an open release PR (release/ → main) — the step between git-wrapup and release-and-publish when a project releases in gated release PR mode. Reads the PR's commit range through the code-simplifier lens plus a correctness review, verifies whatever an automated reviewer left on the PR, lands fixes as…
codemark
Manage structural code bookmarks that survive refactoring. Use when the user says "remember this", "bookmark this", "save this location", "load my bookmarks", "what do I have bookmarked", "mark this code", "codemark", or when starting a new session and needing to reload context from a previous session. Also use…
github-cli
A command-line tool connection for GitHub tasks that built-in tools do not cover. It uses GitHub's command-line program to work with issues, pull requests, releases, workflows, searches, and the GitHub API.
moraine-author-pr
Create Moraine pull requests on GitHub. Use when the branch is ready to open a PR; when the user asks to create, push, or open a PR; after local changes are committed; or when documenting user-facing features, bug fixes, performance optimizations, validation, changelog impact, or operational impact in a PR that…
