Skill instructions

Finishing a Development Branch Overview Guide completion of development work by presenting clear options and handling chosen workflow. 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." The Process Step 1: Verify Tests Before presenting options, verify tests pass: bash Run project's test suite npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./... If tests fail: Tests failing (<N failures). Must fix before completing: [Show failures] Cannot proceed with merge/PR until tests pass. Stop. Don't proceed to Step 2. If tests pass: Continue to Step 2. Step 2: Detect Environment Determine workspace state before presenting options: bash GITDIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2/dev/null && pwd -P) GITCOMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2/dev/null && pwd -P) This determines which menu to show and how cleanup works: | State | Menu | Cleanup | |-------|-
