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.
