speckit-git-feature

To create a git feature branch with consistent naming, the skill reads spec-kit branch-numbering configuration and automatically creates and switches to a new branch using either sequential or timestamp-based numbering schemes. It honors explicit branch name overrides when provided.

Automating feature branch creation for spec-kit repositories involves using a skill that verifies Git availability, respects the project's branch-numbering settings, and generates a new branch matching the team's conventions without manual friction.

Yes, you need Git installed to create feature branches. The skill verifies Git availability and checks for the expected repository structure before creating the branch, falling back gracefully and skipping safely if these prerequisites are missing.

Yes, you can override the automatic branch name. While the skill applies sequential or timestamp-based numbering from spec-kit configuration by default, it explicitly honors branch name overrides provided by the developer for new specifications.

If you run feature branch creation outside a git repository, the skill detects the missing repository structure and Git availability, then skips the operation gracefully without throwing errors, ensuring a safe fallback when prerequisites are not met.
