gpd-branch-hypothesis

To create a hypothesis branch, run the command `$gpd-branch-hypothesis <description>`. This generates a new git branch, sets up dedicated documentation, and forks the project state to ensure a clean, isolated environment for parallel investigation.

State forking in parallel research duplicates the project state to ensure isolation of the hypothesis branch. It is needed to prevent experimental changes in alternative scientific investigations from affecting the main research line or other parallel branches.

Yes, you need both git and a Rust environment to execute branch creation commands. The skill requires access to project roadmap and state files, executing its scripts within a Rust environment that adheres to specific project guidelines.

You need access to the project's roadmap and state files before creating a hypothesis branch. The skill reads these files to fork the project state correctly, set up dedicated hypothesis documentation, and ensure an isolated research environment.

Hypothesis branch management handles documentation by setting up a dedicated documentation file for each alternative scientific investigation. This ensures that every parallel hypothesis branch tracks its own research notes independently from the main line.

No, you cannot use this branch creation method if your project does not use Rust. The skill executes its internal scripts within a Rust environment, making Rust a required dependency alongside git for proper hypothesis branch creation.
