Finish Card

Overview

Complete a card by moving it to the appropriate Done list. The destination depends on whether the work involved committed code.

List Semantics

• •Done/Committed: Code was merged to main branch. Use when PRs are merged or commits are made.
• •Done/Deployed: No code changes (research, planning, already deployed tasks)

The Process

Phase 1: Determine Destination

Check for recent commits:

git log --oneline --since="2 hours ago"

Decision logic:

• •If commits relate to this card → Done/Committed
• •If /commit skill was used in this session → Done/Committed
• •If pure research/planning/discussion → Done/Deployed
• •If unclear → Ask user

Phase 2: Ask If Ambiguous

Use AskUserQuestion when unclear:

question: "Which Done list should this card move to?"
header: "Destination"
options:
  - label: "Done/Committed"
    description: "Code was committed/merged to main branch"
  - label: "Done/Deployed"
    description: "No code changes or already deployed"

Phase 3: Move Card

bin/trello card move <ref> "<list-name>"

Phase 4: Confirm

Report ONLY: "Moved #<number> to <list-name>"

Red Flags

If you catch yourself doing these, STOP:

• •Guessing without checking git - Always check for commits first
• •Moving incomplete work - Verify work is actually done
• •Using wrong list for commits - If code was committed, it's Done/Committed
• •Verbose confirmation - Just the reference and list name
• •Forgetting to parse card reference - Extract number or short link from context
