Finishing a Branch

Wrap up finished work cleanly — merge, PR, or clean up. (For developers.)

Part of Superpowers by @obra

Finishing a Branch steps in once the work is done and the tests pass, giving Claude a structured way to close it out — laying out the options to merge, open a pull request, or clean up — so nothing is left half-finished or hanging.

What it does

  • Kicks in when the work is complete and all tests pass.
  • Presents clear options: merge, open a pull request, or clean up.
  • Makes sure finished work actually gets integrated, not left dangling.

What's in the download

  • SKILL.md — the branch-finishing workflow, ready to install.

How to install (2 minutes)

  1. 1Download the .zip and unzip it — you’ll get a folder called finishing-a-development-branch.
  2. 2In the Claude app: open Settings → Capabilities → Skills, choose Add / Upload, and select the folder (or the .zip).
  3. 3In Claude Code: drop the folder into your project’s .claude/skills/ directory, then type /skills to confirm it loaded.
  4. 4That’s it — the skill activates on its own when it fits what you’re doing.
