What it does

Automates Git workflow for merging feature branches, cleaning up commits, and syncing changes with main repository branches.

Overview

A skill from the Superpowers collection by Jesse Vincent (obra) that guides completing development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup when implementation is done and tests pass.

Key Features

Four structured completion options: merge locally, create PR, keep branch, or discard
Mandatory test verification before presenting options
Worktree cleanup automation after branch completion
Base branch detection and merge conflict handling

Who is this for?

Developers using Git worktrees or feature branches who want Claude to guide them through a clean completion workflow — verifying tests, choosing integration strategy, and cleaning up.
