finishing-a-development-branch

finishing-a-development-branch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,950 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for completing work on a development branch before review, merging, or cleanup. A branch is a separate line of Git work used to develop changes without altering the main code immediately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify tests, linting, builds, and repository state before creating a pull request, merging a branch, or removing completed development work.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of merging unfinished code, failing tests, lint problems, or accidental cleanup.

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 1mo 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

Provide a structured, safe process for completing work on a development branch, including verification, merge strategy selection, and cleanup. This skill ensures no branch is merged without passing tests, and every destructive operation requires explicit user confirmation.

When to Use

  • All planned work on a feature branch is complete
  • A branch is ready for code review or merge
  • Cleaning up after development work is finished
  • Preparing a pull request for team review

Phase 1: Verify All Tests Pass

[HARD-GATE] Do NOT proceed to any merge or PR activity without passing verification.

Before any merge or PR activity, invoke verification-before-completion to confirm:

  • All tests pass (unit, integration, e2e as applicable)
  • No lint errors or warnings
  • Build succeeds
  • No untracked files that should be committed
# Run the project's full verification suite
# Do NOT skip this step even if "tests were passing earlier"

If verification fails, STOP. Fix the failures before proceeding. Do NOT create PRs or merge branches with failing tests.

STOP — Verification must pass before continuing to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Determine Base Branch

Identify the branch to merge into, using this detection logic:

Auto-Detection

# Check for common base branch names
git branch -a | grep -E 'remotes/origin/(main|master|develop)$'

# Check what branch was the fork point
git log --oneline --decorate --graph HEAD...main --first-parent 2>/dev/null
git log --oneline --decorate --graph HEAD...master --first-parent 2>/dev/null

Base Branch Selection Decision Table

Condition Base Branch Confidence
main exists main High
Only master exists master High
develop exists and project uses GitFlow develop Medium
Multiple candidates found Ask user Required
None of the above exist Ask user Required

Verify Base Branch is Up to Date

git fetch origin
git log HEAD..<base-branch> --oneline

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.
