speckit-git-feature

To create a feature branch for a Spec Kit project automatically, this skill generates a correctly numbered branch using sequential or timestamp-based naming and switches to it. This eliminates manual naming decisions and reduces setup friction for new specs.

Standardizing git feature branch naming for curriculum changes is handled by applying repository workflow configurations to generate sequential or timestamp-based names. This ensures every new lesson or workflow change adheres to a consistent numbering scheme.

Yes, you need a Spec Kit directory structure and git availability to use Spec Kit branch numbering. The skill relies on this specific repository layout to handle branch-numbering configuration and correctly apply the sequential or timestamp-based naming scheme.

Yes, you can override the automatic branch name by providing an explicit name via an environment variable override. This honors exact control over branch creation when the standard sequential or timestamp-based naming does not fit your specific workflow needs.

You should use timestamp-based branch naming instead of sequential numbering when working in parallel workflows where conflicts might occur. The skill handles both configurations, applying the scheme defined in your repository to prevent numbering collisions.
