What it does

Part of the Superpowers methodology. Guides completion of development work by presenting clear options (merge, PR, cleanup) and handling whichever workflow gets chosen.

Install

Claude Code

git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/finishing-a-development-branch
cp -r superpowers/skills/finishing-a-development-branch/* ~/.claude/skills/finishing-a-development-branch/

This skill ships inside the Superpowers repo rather than as a single-skill package. The Superpowers plugin (installable via /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official) bundles this skill and others together; the steps above install just this one skill using Claude Code's documented manual-skill path (~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md).
