finishing

A release checklist for confirming that a feature is complete, verified, committed, and ready to merge or turn into a pull request. A pull request is a proposed set of changes for review before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an epic—a larger body of related tasks—when code review and final tests are complete and the feature needs to be landed.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unfinished tasks, failing checks, uncommitted work, or an unsuitable branch from being treated as ready.

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 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 2d 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 Skill

Assess feature completeness and determine the appropriate landing strategy (merge directly or create PR).

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • All tasks in an epic are complete
  • Code review has passed
  • You're ready to land the feature

Prerequisites

  1. All tasks in the epic are closed
  2. All tests pass
  3. Code review complete (or not required)
  4. You're in the feature worktree/branch

Skill Workflow

Step 1: Verify Epic Completeness

# Check epic status
bd --no-daemon show {epic-id} --children

Verify:

  • All tasks are closed
  • No tasks are blocked or in-progress
  • Epic description matches what was built

Step 2: Run Final Verification

# Run full test suite
npm test

# Run build (if applicable)
npm run build

# Run linter (if applicable)
npm run lint

All checks must pass before proceeding.

Step 3: Check Git Status

# Ensure all changes are committed
git status

# Check branch is up to date with remote
git fetch origin
git log origin/{base_branch}..HEAD --oneline

If there are uncommitted changes:

  • Commit them with appropriate message
  • Or stash if they shouldn't be included

Step 4: Assess Landing Strategy

Decision factors:

Factor Merge Directly Create PR
Protected branch No Yes
Team review required No Yes
CI/CD pipeline Optional Required
Solo developer Usually Sometimes
Risky changes No Yes

Read project configuration:

cat .threadwork.yaml

Check base_branch - if it's a protected branch (main, dev, uat), a PR is likely required.

Step 5: Execute Landing Strategy

Based on assessment, invoke the appropriate action:

Option A: Direct Merge (if allowed)

Use when:

  • Base branch is not protected
  • No PR required by workflow
  • All checks pass locally

Invoke /finish-and-close command:

/finish-and-close --epic {epic-id} --strategy merge

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository JPM1118/Threadwork (5 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,327 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
