You can create a git branch by providing a PAIC ticket number or a short description. The Skill derives a compliant branch name and checks it out from the repository's default branch to ensure consistent naming.

What is the best way to enforce consistent branch naming conventions in version control?▼

Enforcing consistent branch naming is handled by deriving the branch name from a PAIC ticket or short description. This ensures every new feature branch adheres to project conventions before checkout from the default branch.

Can I create a feature branch if I have uncommitted changes in my repository?▼

How does branch creation work with Jira MCP for PAIC tickets?▼

Branch creation with Jira MCP works by extracting ticket details to automatically derive a deterministic branch name. It then creates and checks out this branch from the repository default branch.

Do I need to manually switch to the default branch before creating a new feature branch?▼

No, you do not need to manually switch to the default branch. The Skill automatically creates and switches to the new feature branch from the repository default branch in one step.
