Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 7 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Before switching directories to MAIN_ROOT during Step 5 execution, what environment path variable needs to be captured from inside the active workspace for later cleanup?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Captures WORKTREE_PATH using git rev-parse --show-toplevel before changing directory. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
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."
Run the project's full test suite (npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...).
If tests fail, report the failures and stop — the menu comes after a green suite:
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:
[Show failures]
If tests pass: continue to Step 2.
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
# Capture now, while still inside the workspace — Step 5 changes directory
# before cleanup (Step 6) needs this value
WORKTREE_PATH=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
This determines which menu to show and how cleanup works:
| State | Menu | Cleanup |
|---|---|---|
GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON (normal repo) | Standard 3 options | No worktree to clean up |
GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON, named branch | Standard 3 options | Provenance-based (see Step 6) |
GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON, detached HEAD | Reduced 2 options (no merge) | Externally managed — leave in place |
