Description
Use after a task, story, epic, worktree, or development branch is implementation-complete and freshly verified. Presents merge, PR, keep, or discard choices and records evidence before cleanup.

Finishing Branch

Close a development branch deliberately. Do not merge, delete, or mark work complete until the branch has fresh verification evidence and a clear user or workflow decision.

Checklist

  1. Inspect status: git status --short --branch.
  2. Review the diff: git diff --stat and targeted file diffs.
  3. Run the verification commands relevant to changed code.
  4. Confirm task/story/epic acceptance criteria are accounted for.
  5. Present the completion choice.
  6. Record the decision in ohno handoff or task notes.
  7. Clean up only after the selected path succeeds.

Completion Choices

| Choice | When to use | Action | |--------|-------------|--------| | Merge | Local integration is desired now | Merge into the base branch after verification | | Pull request | Human review or CI is needed | Push branch and open a PR with verification notes | | Keep | More work remains or user wants a checkpoint | Leave branch/worktree intact and record next steps | | Discard | Work is abandoned or superseded | Confirm explicitly, then remove branch/worktree |

**Branch**: [name]
**Base**: [branch]
**Verification**: `command` -> PASS/FAIL
**Changed Files**: [summary]
**Recommended Path**: PR / merge / keep / discard
**Reason**: [short rationale]

Destructive cleanup, branch deletion, and discarding changes require explicit human confirmation unless the user already requested that exact action.
