SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates creating and naming a Git feature branch for a given specification, consolidating manual branching into a deterministic workflow with optional sequential or timestamp numbering.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and switch to a new git feature branch for the given specification; the spec directory and files are created by the core speckit.specify workflow.
  • Honor a GIT_BRANCH_NAME environment override so the exact branch name is used, bypassing numbering logic.
  • Outputs BRANCH_NAME and FEATURE_NUM for downstream automation and supports graceful degradation when Git is unavailable.

Quick Start

Create and switch to a new git feature branch based on the specification description, using sequential or timestamp numbering as configured.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically create and switch to a Git feature branch?▼

Automated Git feature branch creation uses a deterministic workflow to derive the branch name from a specification, then executes Git commands to create and switch to the new branch automatically.

What is deterministic feature branch naming in Git workflows?▼

Deterministic feature branch naming generates consistent branch names by deriving them from specification configurations, applying optional sequential or timestamp numbering rather than relying on manual input.

Can I override the auto-generated Git branch name with a custom value?▼

Yes, setting the GIT_BRANCH_NAME environment variable specifies an exact branch name, bypassing the automatic sequential or timestamp numbering logic during branch creation.

Does automated feature branch creation work outside a Git repository?▼

The workflow gracefully degrades in non-repo environments, avoiding failures when Git is unavailable, but an active Git repository is required to actually create and switch branches.

How do I pass feature branch data to downstream automation tasks?▼

The workflow outputs BRANCH_NAME and FEATURE_NUM variables after branch creation, allowing downstream automation tasks to consume the exact branch name and feature number for subsequent pipeline steps.
