Use Cases
After completing feature development on a topic branch with all tests passing, developers need to decide how to integrate back to the main branch. The finishing-a-development-branch skill provides standardized menu options: merge to base, push and create PR, or keep as-is. It re-runs the full test suite to ensure the current tree is green, detects workspace type, confirms the base branch, then waits for user decision.
After isolated development using git worktrees, proper cleanup is needed. The finishing-a-development-branch skill automatically detects whether the current environment is a worktree (by comparing GIT_DIR and GIT_COMMON), determines cleanup strategy based on worktree provenance (.worktrees/ owned by Superpowers vs externally managed), and correctly deletes branches and performs worktree prune self-healing after merging.
