| description | Use when implementation is complete and verified - delete finished local task docs, present integration options, and clean up safely |
<codex_compat>
This skill was ported from Claude Code. In Codex:
- "Skill tool" means read the skill's
SKILL.md from disk.
- "TodoWrite" means create and maintain a checklist section in your response.
- "Task()" means
spawn_agent (dispatch in parallel when needed).
- Claude-specific hooks and slash commands are not available; skip those steps.
</codex_compat>
<skill_overview>
Finish work intentionally: verify the spec, decide how to integrate it, then delete the finished local task directory.
</skill_overview>

MEDIUM FREEDOM - Verify first, then present integration choices and execute the chosen one without leaving stale local task docs behind.
</rigidity_level>
<quick_reference>
- Re-read
plan.md, context.md, and tasks.md
- Confirm acceptance checks and verification evidence
- Present integration options: merge/PR, keep branch, discard branch
- Delete the local task directory under
plans/active/
</quick_reference>
<when_to_use>
- Work is implemented and verified
- The task directory is ready to close
- The user needs a clean finish to the branch
</when_to_use>
<the_process>
1. Confirm the work is actually complete
tasks.md should have no active Now items- acceptance checks in
plan.md should have evidence
- verification should be fresh
2. Present the integration choice
Offer the user clear options:
- merge or open PR
- keep the branch for more work
- discard the branch if the work should not land
3. Delete the local docs
Delete the completed local task directory from plans/active/.
</the_process>
