Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.02083 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00833 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00417 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00208 |
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 8d 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to finishing-a-development-branch — 10 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 project's full test suite (npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...).
If tests fail, report the failures and stop — the menu comes after a green suite:
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:
[Show failures]
If tests pass: 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 ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 ForgeyClap/claude-forge (2 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 2,083 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to finishing-a-development-branch, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.

validate-release-green
Run or inspect the local Release-Green observer for an exact base or combined PR candidate, separating hard failures, advisory drift and incomplete evidence. Use for maintainer preflight; full CI acceptance remains a separate requirement.
flame-harness-submit
Phase 10 — upload store text metadata + categories via fastlane, then pause with exact manual steps for the final iOS review submission and Android production promotion.
flame-harness-build
Phase 8 — bootstrap signing credentials, generate fastlane config from templates, and build + upload signed IPA (TestFlight) and AAB (internal track).
transport-release-gate
Run a quality gate over an SAP transport request before it is released — collect the TR's objects, check for inactive objects and foreign locks, run syntax checks, ATC, and unit tests, then produce a structured go/no-go report. Use whenever the user wants to release a transport, asks "is this TR safe to release?"…
release-plugin
Cut a cairn plugin release for a given MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version, running every pre-flight and version gate before anything is changed or published.
