Why should I plan a feature branch before starting development?

Planning a feature branch before starting development streamlines code reviews and prevents accidental main branch edits by enforcing consistent naming, hook compliance, and traceability aligned with planned work.

What's the best way to enforce branch naming conventions in a git workflow?

The best way to enforce branch naming conventions in a git workflow is using a planning tool that validates names like feature/NNN-description during issue triage and before edits, ensuring traceability across tasks.

Can I switch to a new planning branch without violating git workflow conventions?

Yes, you can switch to a new planning branch without violating git workflow conventions by using this Skill to create and switch to branches that pass naming validation and hook compliance checks.

How do I align git branches with issues during issue triage?

To align git branches with issues during issue triage, create a planning feature branch using a naming convention like feature/NNN-description, which links the branch directly to the issue number for improved traceability.
