Git Branch Create
Create a new git branch using a conventional naming scheme. Use when the user asks to create a branch, start a new branch, /git-branch-create, or begin work on a feature/fix. Also trigger on "start work on X", "spin up a branch for Y", "new ticket", "let's start Z", or whenever the user signals they're beginning a discrete new piece of work. Creates and checks out the branch immediately without a…

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.
How agent discovery & health will work →About
Create Branch
Make + checkout new branch. No confirm.
Flow
- Parallel:
git status+git branch --show-current. - Dirty tree -> stop. Tell user to stash or commit first. Why ->
checkout -bcarries staged + unstaged changes into the new branch silently, mixing them with future work. - Pick base:
- Default
main. Fall backmaster. - On feature branch + user wants to branch off it -> use current. Skip step 4's fetch; go to step 5 "off current" variant.
- Exists?
git show-ref --verify --quiet refs/heads/-> 0 = stop, surface conflict, no overwrite. Why ->checkout -berrors anyway, but check early so message is clean + no half-state. - Create:
- Off `
(default):git fetch origin+git checkout -b origin/`. - Off current:
git checkout -b(no fetch, no remote ref — current HEAD is the base).
- Print branch + base.
Naming
/ or /-.
Type
Same set + picks as git-commit. See that skill's Type pick + Tiebreakers for disambiguation. Quick list: feat|fix|perf|refactor|docs|test|build|ci|chore.
Desc
- kebab-case. Not camel / snake.
- Imperative present:
add,fix,remove. Notadded,fixes. - history readable + tool-agnostic; trackers come+go, branches stay. Asked -> suffix:
feat/add-auth-middleware-PROJ-123.
Examples
feat/add-oauth-loginfix/api-timeout-on-retryrefactor/extract-user-servicedocs/update-readmeci/cache-pnpm-store
Rules
- Derive
type+ desc from intent + diff if avail. - User gives name -> verbatim. No rewrite.
- Never delete/reset existing branches here.
- Never push new branch unless asked.
- Branch exists -> stop. Surface conflict. No overwrite.
