What problem does it solve?

It prevents chaotic branch naming and unsafe Git operations by enforcing a consistent workflow for creating new branches from an up-to-date base branch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hard safety rules for branch creation: Requires explicit user intent, pulls the base branch before branching, and forbids risky commands by using only git switch / git switch -c.
  • Consistent naming conventions: Supports Jira-based names (cgomes/XXX-000-short-topic) or scope-based names (scope/short-topic) with strict kebab-case and character/format constraints.
  • Workflow with guardrails: Ensures the branch name is shown before creation, optionally performs draft-only suggestions, and asks when required inputs (like base scope) are unclear; also prompts when switching would discard uncommitted work.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to create a new branch from your Jira ticket or your goal (for example, "Create a new branch for XXX-1234 to fix login redirect").
