/complete

Complete a task with full validation, documentation updates, reviews, and automatic merge to develop.

Usage

/complete careerbrain 002         # Complete specific issue
/complete careerbrain             # Complete current/active issue

What It Does

1. Validate PLAN completion and spec compliance
2. Update all project documentation
3. Create final commit with doc changes
4. Run mandatory code review + security audit
5. Merge to develop branch
6. Clean up feature branch

GitFlow Pattern:

feature/*

→

develop

(automatic) |

develop

→

main

(requires PR)

Prerequisites

• All implementation complete (code written)
• Active issue with completed work
• PLAN.md exists with phases mostly complete

Execution Flow

1. Check PLAN.md Completion

✓ All phases complete (5/5)
  or
✗ Incomplete phases:
  - [ ] 1.3 - Implement session refresh

2. Spec Compliance Validation

Acceptance Scenario Coverage:

• Search tests matching each Given/When/Then scenario
• Create missing tests if needed

Success Metrics Verification:

• Check performance, coverage, accessibility

Out-of-Scope Enforcement:

• Scan for code that violates out-of-scope items

Agent Constraints Check:

• Verify no dependencies added (if constrained)
• Check no files outside scope modified

3. Update Spec Status Markers

If the TASK has an

implements:

field, update inline status markers in the spec:

# Before (in spaces/[project]/docs/specs/*.md)
- 🚧 User registration with email/password

# After
- ✅ User registration with email/password

This provides public visibility into what's implemented.

4. Update All Documentation

Scan and validate ALL docs in

spaces/[project]/docs/

:

• architecture-overview.md
• data-model.md
• api-overview.md
• README.md

5. Update CHANGELOG

MANDATORY: Add entries under

[Unreleased]

section.

Categories:

• ### Added

  - New features (TASKs)

• ### Fixed

  - Bug fixes (BUGs)

• ### Changed

  - Modifications

• ### Security

  - Security updates

6. Final WORKLOG Entry

## YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM - COMPLETED

Issue ### complete and ready for merge.

Summary:
- [What was implemented]
- [What was deferred]

7. Update Status

Set issue frontmatter:

status: complete

8. Create Final Commit

Stage and commit documentation changes.

9. Run Final Reviews

If not already done:

1. Launch code-reviewer agent
2. Launch security-auditor agent
3. Block if CRITICAL issues

10. Merge to Develop

git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git merge --no-ff feature/###-slug
git push origin develop
git branch -d feature/###-slug

11. Suggest Next Steps

Next actions:
1. Start next task: /implement project ### --full
2. View status: /project-status project
3. Merge to main (requires PR): gh pr create --base main --head develop

Documentation Checklist

Before merge, verify:

1. PLAN.md - All phases checked off
2. Linked SPEC - Updated to reflect what was built
3. architecture-overview.md - Reflects changes
4. ADRs - New decisions documented
5. CHANGELOG.md - User-facing changes
6. WORKLOG.md - Final summary
7. README.md - Updated if API changed
