gpd-branch-hypothesis

To create a git branch for hypothesis testing, you can use a skill that automates branch creation, generates a HYPOTHESIS.md file, and forks the STATE.md file to track parallel investigation without affecting your main workflow.

Testing a new research method without affecting the main project is best achieved by creating a parallel git branch for hypothesis testing, which isolates the alternative approach and forks the project state for independent tracking.

Yes, you need both git and the gpd environment installed to automate research branch creation, as the skill relies on git for branch management and gpd for forking the STATE.md file to track parallel hypotheses.

Forking STATE.md during parallel investigation allows each git branch to maintain an independent record of its experimental state, ensuring that tracking changes in an alternative approach does not overwrite the main research line's progress.

Yes, you can automatically document a new parallel development hypothesis in git, as the branch creation process generates a HYPOTHESIS.md file specifically for recording the details of the alternative approach being investigated.
