# Branch Finish Workflow I'll help you complete your branch workflow with intelligent squashing, rebasing, and cleanup. Arguments: `$ARGUMENTS` - target branch (defaults to main/master) ## Branch Completion Philosophy Finish branches cleanly: - Smart commit squashing with meaningful messages - Intelligent rebase strategy selection - Local and remote branch cleanup - PR/MR status verification - Integration with `/commit` workflow ## Token Optimization This skill uses intelligent caching and progressive disclosure to minimize token usage: ### 1. Commit History Caching (600 token savings) **Pattern:** Cache commit analysis results - Store branch analysis in `.branch-finish-cache/<branch>` (5 min TTL) - Cache: commit count, messages, changed files, PR status - Read cached analysis on subsequent checks (100 tokens vs 700 tokens) - Invalidate on new commits (check via git rev-parse) - **Savings:** 85% on repeat runs, common for pre-merge checks ### 2. Early Exit for Single Commit (90% savings) **Pattern:** Detect single-commit branches immediately - Check commit count with `git rev-list --count` (1 command) - If 1 commit: skip squashing, validate and finish (200 tokens) - **Distribution:** ~25% of branches are single commits - **Savings:** 200 vs 2,500 tokens for single-commit completions ### 3. Bash-Based Squashing (1,200 token savings) **Pattern:** Use git reset/commit instead of Task agents - Squash with `git reset --soft` + commit (300 tokens) - No Task tool for commit
