description: Use when implementation is complete and verified - delete finished local task docs, present integration options, and clean up safely
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.
Finish work intentionally: verify the spec, decide how to integrate it, then delete the finished local task directory.
MEDIUM FREEDOM - Verify first, then present integration choices and execute the chosen one without leaving stale local task docs behind.
1. Re-read `plan.md`, `context.md`, and `tasks.md`
2. Confirm acceptance checks and verification evidence
3. Present integration options: merge/PR, keep branch, discard branch
4. Delete the local task directory under `plans/active/`
- Work is implemented and verified
- The task directory is ready to close
- The user needs a clean finish to the branch
## 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/.
