Finishing Development

What it does

The Finishing Development skill helps AI agents complete unfinished code snippets by verifying that all necessary checks and tests pass, ensuring a stable and risk-controlled codebase. It doesn't merge or clean up code; instead, it runs predefined validation commands (like tests, linting, formatting, type checking, and builds) to confirm the completeness of changes. The skill then generates a "completion confirmation report" detailing the verification process and results.

When to use it

• After completing a development task or feature implementation.
• As the final step in automated workflows (like subagent-driven-development or spec-execute processes).
• To ensure all quality gates are passed before merging code changes.
• When needing a clear, reproducible record of verification steps and results.

Key capabilities

• Reads project-defined command entry points (Makefile, Taskfile, package.json scripts, README).
• Runs tests, linting, formatting, type checking, and builds based on existing commands.
• Summarizes validation results and provides reproducible steps.
• Generates a "completion confirmation report" including executed commands, results, failure summaries (if any), and remaining tasks.
• Outputs ROUTER_SUMMARY in YAML format for automated routing and decision-making by the agent workflow.

Example prompts

• “I’ve finished implementing this feature. Please use the finishing-development skill to confirm it's ready.”
• "Run a completion confirmation on my current changes."
• “Can you verify that all tests pass and generate a report?”

Tips & gotchas

• Important: The skill relies on existing project commands; it doesn’t invent them. Refer to the project's README or CI configuration for standard validation commands.
• The skill will stop if any verification step fails, preventing premature completion claims. All tests and checks must pass before a "completion confirmation report" is generated.
• After running, the skill automatically outputs ROUTER_SUMMARY and passes it to using-aisdlc for further workflow routing.
