Use after implementation and verification to summarize changes, inspect git status, prepare commit or PR notes, choose merge/push/keep options, and avoid accidentally staging unrelated user changes. category: development

Dev Finish

Use this skill when implementation is complete and verified.

Workflow

1. Run or confirm final verification.
2. Inspect git status --short.
3. Separate intended changes from unrelated user changes.
4. Summarize:
   • changed files
   • behavior changed
   • checks run
   • skipped checks or residual risks
5. If asked to commit:
   • stage only intended files
   • write a concise conventional commit
6. If asked to open a PR:
   • include functional impact
   • include tests
   • call out env/schema/platform notes

Guardrails

• Do not commit unless explicitly asked.
• Do not stage unrelated files.
• Do not merge, push, or discard branches without explicit instruction.
• Do not claim a clean tree if unrelated changes remain.
