# Finishing a Development Branch
## Overview
Verify tests, present structured options, execute chosen workflow, clean up.
**Core principle:** Verify tests -> Present options -> Execute choice -> Clean up.
## Options
1. Merge back to base branch locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is
4. Discard this work (requires typed confirmation)
## Process
1. Verify all tests pass (STOP if they fail)
2. Determine base branch
3. Present exactly 4 options
4. Execute chosen option
5. Clean up worktree (Options 1 and 4 only)
## Agents Used
- Process agents referenced in workflow processes
## Tool Use
Referenced by `executing-plans` and `subagent-driven-development` processes.
