finishing-a-development-branch

finishing-a-development-branch is a skill for Claude Code from sandbaseai/sandbase-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (608 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of accessibility-review, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for finishing a development branch in an existing codebase. A development branch is a separate line of Git work used to build or test changes before they are combined with the main code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect instructions and current changes, make the smallest required fixes, run focused verification, and report remaining limitations.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of merging incompatible changes or declaring work finished without running the relevant tests and build checks.

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 28d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Finishing A Development Branch

Use this Skill to produce a bounded, verifiable Finishing A Development Branch outcome. Preserve the user's chosen stack, source material, and authorization boundaries.

Read the SandBase API map only when the task genuinely needs an external data source or generative model.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the available files, runtime, versions, inputs, and existing conventions before deciding what to change.
  2. Restate the requested outcome, constraints, acceptance checks, and any assumption that could change the result.
  3. Produce the smallest complete implementation, analysis, or artifact that satisfies those checks.
  4. Verify the real output with appropriate tests, previews, calculations, or source comparison; do not infer success from file creation alone.
  5. Return the deliverable, evidence of validation, material assumptions, and unresolved limitations.

Quality gates

  • Inspect repository instructions, current versions, tests, and user changes before proposing an implementation.
  • Make the smallest compatible change, preserve public contracts unless change is requested, and avoid new dependencies without a concrete benefit.
  • Run focused tests plus the relevant build or static checks, then report observed results and any unverified paths.
  • Do not stage, commit, push, open a pull request, tag, publish, or discard changes unless the user requested that exact action.

SandBase boundary

Keep the core Finishing A Development Branch work local. Use SandBase only for current external documentation, repository evidence, or explicitly requested model inference.

  1. Call sandbase_discover with a short capability query.
  2. Call sandbase_inspect for viable candidates and compare the live schema, coverage, limits, output, execution mode, and price.
  3. Prefer a dedicated tool or API the user already has. Send only the minimum necessary data.
  4. Before any paid call, show the endpoint, important arguments, current unit price, call count, and total estimate or uncertainty, then obtain confirmation.
  5. Use sandbase_account before an approved multi-call batch and call sandbase_run only with current schema-defined arguments.
  6. Poll asynchronous work with sandbase_run_get using the same run ID; never resubmit merely because it is pending.
  7. Use sandbase_runs only to recover status or reconcile observed cost.

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.
