finishing-a-development-branch

finishing-a-development-branch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oleg494/coding-kit. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,759 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of finishing-a-development-branch, MIT.

A procedure for deciding what to do after a development branch is complete. It checks the full test suite, identifies the Git setup, presents integration choices, and handles cleanup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation and passing tests to merge, create a pull request, keep the branch, or clean up according to the repository state.
Why use it?
It prevents unfinished or unverified work from being integrated and accounts for whether the work is in a normal branch or worktree.

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-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 yesterday.

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

Core principle: Verify the deliverable, then perform only the integration the user authorized. A verified local task can remain local, without an integration menu, commit, push or cleanup of the user's workspace.

Step 1: Verify Tests

Use verification-before-completion: evidence must cover the final source and the requested acceptance criteria. Run applicable checks when no valid evidence exists; broaden for shared changes, integration policy or observed failures. Repair task-caused failures within scope. Report unrelated/environment failures separately; do not discard work or stop reachable repairs because a suite is red.

If no integration was requested, report the verified local result and leave the branch/workspace intact. The remaining steps apply only to authorized integration.

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 available integration and cleanup operations:

State Integration Cleanup
Normal repo Authorized merge or publication No worktree to remove
Named-branch worktree Authorized merge or publication Provenance-based (Step 6)
Detached HEAD Preserve unless a target branch/publication is authorized Externally managed — leave in place

Step 3: Determine Base Branch

Use the plan, upstream and repository history to establish the intended base and target. Ask only when available evidence cannot resolve a materially different destination. Do not infer authority to merge from knowing the base.

Step 4: Resolve integration authority

Execute the user's specified integration without asking them to choose it again. If they explicitly asked you to choose how to integrate but the choice is material and unresolved, present the relevant tradeoffs: local merge, publication/PR, or keeping the branch. No fixed option count or exact wording.

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.
