What it does

Finishing A Development Branch Lite is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when implementation is complete and you need to merge a worktree branch back into the original base branch with build/compile verification (no tests)

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git worktrees

Example prompts

  • “/finishing-a-development-branch-lite”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify Build/Compile (No Tests)
  2. Determine Base Branch (Merge Target)
  3. Present Options
  4. Execute Choice
  5. Cleanup Worktree

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • mvn
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Finishing A Development Branch Lite loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Finishing a Development Branch Lite

Overview

Finish development work by verifying a build/compile check, presenting merge options, and cleaning up the worktree.

Core principle: Build/compile first → confirm base branch → present options → execute → cleanup.

Announce at start: "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch-lite skill to complete this work."

The Process

Step 1: Verify Build/Compile (No Tests)
  1. Check AGENTS.md for build/compile commands. If present, follow it.
  2. Otherwise use default build/compile commands:
bash
# Node.js (requires build script)
if [ -f package.json ]; then npm run -s build; fi

# Rust
if [ -f Cargo.toml ]; then cargo build; fi

# Go
if [ -f go.mod ]; then go build ./...; fi

# Python
if [ -f pyproject.toml ] || [ -f requirements.txt ]; then python -m compileall .; fi

# Java (Maven)
if [ -f pom.xml ]; then mvn -q clean compile; fi

If no build command is available (e.g., no npm build script), ask the user for the correct command.

If build fails:

Build/compile failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing.

[Show failures]

Stop. Do not proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Determine Base Branch (Merge Target)

Prefer extracting the base branch from the worktree branch name using the delimiter:

__wt__

Example:

feature/auth__wt__login -> base branch: feature/auth

If extracted, verify the local branch exists:

bash
git show-ref --verify refs/heads/<base-branch>

If it exists, confirm with the user before merging. If it does not exist, ask the user to provide the base branch.

Step 3: Present Options

Present exactly these 4 options:

Implementation complete. What would you like to do?

1. Merge back to <base-branch> locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is (I'll handle it later)
4. Discard this work

Which option?
Step 4: Execute Choice
Option 1: Merge Locally

Important: Run the merge from the base-branch worktree (the directory where the base branch is checked out), not from the worktree branch directory.

bash
# Switch to base branch
git checkout <base-branch>

# Pull latest (if appropriate)
git pull

# Merge feature branch
git merge <feature-branch>

# Verify build/compile on merged result
<build command>

# If build passes
git branch -d <feature-branch>

Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5)

Option 2: Push and Create PR
bash
# Push branch
git push -u origin <feature-branch>

# Create PR
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "<summary and build steps>"

Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5)

Option 3: Keep As-Is

Report: "Keeping branch <name>. Worktree preserved at <path>."

Do not cleanup worktree.

Option 4: Discard

Confirm first:

This will permanently delete:
- Branch <name>
- All commits: <commit-list>
- Worktree at <path>

Type 'discard' to confirm.

Wait for exact confirmation.

If confirmed:

bash
git checkout <base-branch>
git branch -D <feature-branch>

Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5)

Show full SKILL.md (177 more words)Show less
Step 5: Cleanup Worktree

For Options 1, 2, 4:

Before removing a worktree, change into a directory that will remain (e.g., the base-branch worktree). Removing the current directory will break the session.

bash
git worktree list | grep $(git branch --show-current)

If yes:

bash
git worktree remove <worktree-path>

For Option 3: Keep worktree.

Common Mistakes

Assuming main/master as base branch

  • Problem: Merges into the wrong branch
  • Fix: Confirm the original base branch

Skipping build verification

  • Problem: Merge broken code
  • Fix: Build/compile must pass before proceeding

Discarding without confirmation

  • Problem: Permanent data loss
  • Fix: Require typed 'discard'

Skipping base-branch confirmation because "it should be obvious"

  • Problem: Merge target drifts
  • Fix: Ask, then proceed

Rationalization Table

ExcuseReality
"I'll merge this into main, it's fine"Merge into the original base branch unless user says otherwise
"Build is optional"Build/compile is the gate for completion
"Discard is reversible"Discard is permanent and requires confirmation

Red Flags

  • "I'll just merge to main/master"
  • "Build can wait until after merge"
  • "Discard without asking is faster"

Example

bash
# Build/compile
mvn -q clean compile

# Merge to base branch
base_branch=feature/auth
feature_branch=feature/auth-impl

git checkout "$base_branch"
git pull
git merge "$feature_branch"

# Verify build/compile again
mvn -q clean compile
