Create Feature Branch from Linear Ticket

Steps

1. Fetch the Linear ticket using the get_issue MCP tool with ticket identifier $ARGUMENTS. Extract the ticket title.

2. Generate a kebab-case slug from the title:

   • Lowercase the title
   • Drop articles and filler words (a, an, the, for, and, or, to, in, of, with)
   • Replace spaces and non-alphanumeric characters with hyphens
   • Collapse multiple hyphens
   • Keep only the first 4-5 meaningful words
   • Trim trailing hyphens

3. Get the developer prefix by running git config user.name, lowercasing the result, and taking only the first name (first word).

4. Update default branch:

   Look for the "HEAD branch" line to identify whether the default branch is master or main. Use that as the base branch.

   git checkout master && git pull origin master
   

5. Create the feature branch from master:

   git checkout -b <prefix>/<TICKET>-<slug>
   

   Where <TICKET> is the original ticket identifier (e.g. MCI-55) and <slug> is the generated slug.

6. Confirm by showing:

   • The new branch name
   • The ticket title
   • Output of git status

Example

For ticket LMO-55 with title "Branch create util" and git user "Neb Borf":

• Branch: neb/LMO-55-branch-create-util

Important

• Do NOT push the branch to remote.
• Do NOT make any commits.
