What it does

Analyzes git status and diff to intelligently create Git Flow branches (feature, release, hotfix, bugfix) following the nvie branching model with automated naming conventions.

Overview

This skill analyzes the current git status and diff to intelligently create Git Flow branches following the nvie branching model. It examines changed files and the nature of modifications to automatically determine the appropriate branch type (feature, release, hotfix, bugfix) and generates semantic branch names with proper Git Flow conventions.

Key Features

Intelligent Change Analysis - Examines git status and git diff output to classify changes by type: new functionality, bug fixes, release preparation, or hotfix patches
Automated Branch Type Selection - Determines the correct Git Flow branch type based on change indicators such as new files, UI improvements, critical bug fixes, or version bumps
Semantic Branch Naming - Generates descriptive branch names following conventions like feature/descriptive-name, hotfix/ticket-number-description, release/version-number
Git Flow Model Compliance - Enforces proper branch-from and merge-to rules: features from develop, hotfixes from main, releases from develop, following the complete nvie model
Automatic Branch Creation - Creates and switches to the new branch automatically, providing a summary of the analysis and recommended next steps

Who is this for?

Developers and teams using the Git Flow branching model who want to automate branch creation and ensure consistent naming conventions. Ideal for teams where branch type selection and naming are frequent sources of inconsistency, or for developers who want to streamline their Git workflow with intelligent automation.
