speckit-git-validate

To validate Git branch naming conventions before merging, use this Skill to check the current branch name against specified sequential or timestamped patterns. It identifies compliance issues and outputs branch validity to maintain code quality and team consistency.

In a spec-kit environment, the supported branch naming patterns are sequential numeric and timestamped formats. The Skill checks if the current branch follows one of these two specific patterns to ensure proper project naming conventions are met.

If Git is not installed, you can still check branch naming conventions through graceful degradation. The Skill falls back to checking an environment variable for feature information to validate the branch naming pattern.

You need to enforce branch naming conventions to prevent confusion and facilitate collaboration in a team environment. Validating feature branches before merging ensures code quality and maintains team consistency across the project.

This branch validation Skill is specifically designed to work within a spec-kit project structure. It validates Git branch naming against patterns tailored for the spec-kit environment to ensure project-specific conventions are followed.
