speckit-git-validate

To validate Git branch naming, the Skill checks the current branch against sequential 3+ digit prefixes and timestamp-based patterns. It outputs feature-branch compliance status and verifies if a matching spec directory exists under specs/.

A feature-branch naming convention standardizes branch names for better traceability. This Skill enforces it by matching branch names against sequential 3+ digit prefixes or timestamp-based prefixes to ensure consistent review workflows.

Yes, branch validation works without a local Git repository. When Git is unavailable, the Skill gracefully degrades and uses the SPECIFY_FEATURE environment variable as a fallback to determine the feature-branch status.

To check if a spec directory exists, the Skill validates the current Git branch name and searches for a corresponding directory under specs/. It reports whether the matching spec directory is present for the active feature branch.

Supported Git branch name patterns include a sequential 3+ digit prefix and a timestamp-based prefix. The Skill validates the current branch against these two specific patterns to enforce feature-branch naming rules.
