git-feature-start

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction around starting new feature branches by automating the checks and git operations needed to create a clean, tracked feature branch from main.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Argument validation: Ensures a feature name is provided and prints usage guidance if missing.
• Workspace safety checks: Detects uncommitted changes and advises committing or stashing before proceeding.
• Branch creation workflow: Updates main from the remote, creates feature/<name>, pushes the branch, and sets upstream tracking.
• Use Case: A developer about to begin focused work can quickly create a remote-tracked feature branch without manually running multiple git commands.

Quick Start

Run the git-feature-start skill with a single argument such as payment-refactor to create and push a new feature branch from main.
