new-branch

Creates a scoped Git branch from the updated `main` branch using the project’s naming convention. It selects a prefix for feature work, fixes, docs, CI, maintenance, or refactoring, then adds a concise lowercase, hyphenated name.

  • Starting a feature branch
  • Creating a bug fix branch
  • Preparing a docs or CI change
  • Naming a branch for repository maintenance

Overview

What it does

This skill creates a branch from main to start work in a GitHub repository. It chooses a prefix based on the type of change: feat, fix, docs, ci, chore, or refactor, followed by a short kebab-case name. For example, feature work can use feat/add-agentic-rerank, while a bug fix can use fix/empty-profile-crash.

Before creating the branch, it switches to main and updates it, then creates the new working branch from that state. Each branch should have one purpose. After the work, the flow is to open a pull request back to main; the skill assumes contributors do not commit directly to main.

When it helps

Use it when starting a feature, bug fix, documentation update, or another distinct type of change. It is also useful when you want branch names to follow a consistent convention across a repository.

Example requests

  • “Create a branch for adding a setting to the settings screen.”
  • “Create a branch to fix the crash with an empty profile.”
  • “Create a branch for updating the development guide.”

Notes

This skill requires Git and a GitHub repository. It updates main before creating the new branch.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Document check

AI checked the SKILL.md for operations that need care and for setup requirements. The score comes only from actually running the skill (hands-on test).

SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
BPartly lackingIt switches branches and updates `main`, but specifies no check for uncommitted work.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
AGoodIt explicitly states that Git and a GitHub repository are required.

/new-branch

Cut a new branch for the GitHub repository.

Branch model

main       = default and protected branch
feat/*     = feature work
fix/*      = bug fixes
docs/*     = documentation-only changes
ci/*       = CI, build, and developer-experience changes
chore/*    = repository maintenance
refactor/* = behavior-preserving code structure changes

Steps

  1. Ask (or infer) the change type: feat, fix, docs, ci, chore, or refactor.
  2. Update main first: 
    git checkout main
git pull --ff-only
  3. Create the branch with a kebab-case slug: 
    git checkout -b <type>/<short-slug>
  4. Keep the branch scoped to one purpose and open a pull request back to main.

Naming

  • feat/add-agentic-rerank, fix/empty-profile-crash, docs/quickstart-config, ci/check-github-docs.
  • Lowercase, hyphen-separated, no spaces, concise.

Never commit directly to main — always use a branch and pull request.
