This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

- You need to merge feature branches into
mainregularly and want to reduce manual effort. - A developer has requested you finalize their work by merging their development branch.
- Automating release tag creation for completed features is desired.
- You want to ensure a consistent process for finishing development branches, minimizing errors.
Key capabilities
- Merging changes from the main branch into the development branch.
- Conflict resolution assistance.
- Release tag creation.
- Pushing finished branches to remote repositories.
Example prompts
- "Finish my development branch 'feature/new-login'."
- "Merge
mainintodevelopment/payment-integrationand create a release tag." - “Finalize the work on
