inline-cli
Explain and use the Inline CLI (`inline`) for authentication, chats, users, spaces, messages, search, bots, typing, notifications, tasks, schema, attachments, downloads, JSON output, and configuration. Use when asked how to use the Inline CLI or its commands, flags, outputs, or workflows.

finalize
Finalize work to prepare a commit. Clean up unnecessary debug logs, remove unused methods added, do a final review to ensure tight elegant implementation, etc.
inline-chat/inline
summarize-work
Based on the context, write a summary of changes, what's left, production readiness, tests run, and APIs/packages used.
inline-chat/inline
branch-out
Isolate a subset of changes from a dirty local worktree (usually on main) into a clean feature branch, then commit, push, and open a PR. Use when the user asks to "branch out", "isolate my changes", "move this work to a new branch", or create a clean PR from only selected files/hunks.

mo-needs-to-review?
Check if uncommitted changes are important/risky/breaking to require a review before merge/production release.
inline-chat/inline
fill-context
Read changes, summarize spec and work done so far, and prepare for working on next steps.
