Create Branch
Create a git branch following Sentry naming conventions. Use when asked to "create a branch", "new branch", "start a branch", "make a branch", "switch to a new branch", or when starting new work on the default branch.

Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Create Branch
Create a git branch following Sentry naming conventions. Keep this workflow non-interactive unless the user explicitly asks to choose the name manually.
Workflow
- Resolve the work description:
- If
$ARGUMENTSis present, use it - Otherwise inspect:
``bash git diff git diff --cached git status --short ``
- If there are local changes, derive a short description from the diff
- If there are no local changes, use a generic description like
repo-maintenance,tooling-update, orwork-in-progress
- Classify the branch type:
| Type | Use when | |------|----------| | feat | New functionality | | fix | Broken behavior now works | | ref | Behavior stays the same, structure changes | | chore | Maintenance of existing tooling/config | | perf | Same behavior, faster | | style | Visual or formatting only | | docs | Documentation only | | test | Tests only | | ci | CI/CD config | | build | Build system | | meta | Repo metadata | | license | License changes |
When unsure: use feat for new things, ref for restructuring, chore for maintenance.
- Generate
/.
Keep `` kebab-case, ASCII-only, and ideally 3 to 6 words.
- Choose the base without prompting:
``bash git branch --show-current git remote | grep -qx origin && echo origin || git remote | head -1 git symbolic-ref refs/remotes//HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|refs/remotes//||' | tr -d '[:space:]' ``
- If default branch detection fails, fall back to
main, thenmaster, then the current branch - If on a detached HEAD, branch from the current commit
- If already on a non-default branch, branch from the current branch
- Only switch to the default branch when the user explicitly asks
- Avoid collisions by appending
-2,-3, and so on until the name is unused locally and remotely.
- Create the branch:
``bash git checkout -b `` Report the final branch name, but do not stop for confirmation.
