description	Create and check out a feature branch when currently on master

You are currently on the master branch and should be working on a feature branch instead. Create and check out a new branch.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify you are on master. Run git branch --show-current. If you are not on master, tell the user and stop.

2. Determine the branch name.

   • If you know the GitHub issue number for the current work (from context in the conversation or from $ARGUMENTS), prefix the branch name with the issue number: <number>-short-description.
   • If no issue is associated, just use a descriptive name: short-description.
   • Use lowercase kebab-case. Keep it short but descriptive enough to understand the purpose at a glance.
   • Never use / in the branch name (no feature/, fix/, etc.).

3. Present the branch name to the user, then use the ask user question tool to confirm. Use two options: "Sounds good!" and "Wait a minute". If the user picks "Wait a minute", wait for their feedback before proceeding.

4. Create and check out the branch. Run git checkout -b <branch-name>.

5. Confirm. Tell the user the new branch name and that you've switched to it.
