Does it check if a GitHub issue is actually open?

Yes, before creating a branch, the skill runs 'gh issue view' to verify the issue exists and is currently in an open state to prevent working on stale tasks.

Do I need the GitHub CLI installed for this to work?

Yes, this skill relies on the 'gh' CLI tool to verify issue metadata and the 'git' CLI to manage local branches.

How does the skill identify which issue number to use?

The skill analyzes your conversation for references like '#42' or 'issue 15'. If no number is found, it queries the GitHub CLI for recent issues or asks you for clarification.

Can it handle multiple issues at once?

The skill is designed to create one development branch per invocation to maintain a clear 1:1 relationship between branches and issues.

What is the exact branch naming format?

The skill strictly follows the format 'issue- ' (e.g., issue-42). This simplifies the workflow and ensures the issue number is the primary identifier.

開発者ツール

Automates the creation of standardized Git development branches linked directly to GitHub issue numbers.

概要

The GitHub Dev Branch Creator skill streamlines the software development lifecycle by enforcing a consistent branch naming convention based on GitHub issues. It allows AI agents to automatically extract issue numbers from conversation context, verify their status via the GitHub CLI, and create a new local branch using the 'issue-<number>' format. This ensures that every piece of work is traceable back to its source of truth, reducing manual overhead and maintaining a clean, organized repository structure.
