description	Create a new feature branch with proper naming conventions

Branch Skill

Creates a new git branch with consistent naming following project conventions.

Steps

1. Ask the user for:

   • Branch name (e.g., "add-task-filters", "fix-dark-mode")
   • Branch type: feature/, fix/, refactor/, or docs/

2. Fetch the latest from origin:

git fetch origin main

3. Create and checkout the new branch from origin/main:

git checkout -b <type>/<branch-name> origin/main

4. Confirm the branch was created:

git branch --show-current

Branch Naming Conventions

Prefix	Use Case
feature/	New features and capabilities
fix/	Bug fixes
refactor/	Code improvements without behavior changes
docs/	Documentation updates

Examples

• feature/add-task-filters
• fix/dark-mode-calendar
• refactor/simplify-sync-logic
• docs/update-api-reference

Notes

• Always base new branches on origin/main for clean history
• Use kebab-case for branch names
• Keep names descriptive but concise
