    About This Skill

    What it does

    The Finalize skill acts as an automated quality assurance engineer for your repository. It systematically scans your working directory to clean up temporary artifacts, detect debug leftovers (like console logs or hardcoded paths), update relevant documentation, and run the project's native validation suites (tests, linters, type-checkers). It ensures that every commit or handoff is professional, clean, and stable.

    Why use this skill

    Modern development involves a lot of "clutter"—temporary logs, scratch files, and outdated READMEs. Manually checking for these is tedious and error-prone. This skill is better than simple prompting because it follows a rigorous multi-step workflow: it inventories the repo state, classifies files to prevent accidental deletion, searches for sensitive leaks, and inferentially determines the correct test commands based on your project's specific configuration files (like package.json, Cargo.toml, or Makefiles).

    Supported tools

    • Version Control: Deep Git integration for status and diff analysis.
    • Languages/Frameworks: Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Kotlin, Ruby.
    • Environment: Works with standard task runners (Make, Just) and package managers (npm, pip, cargo, maven).
