What branch naming convention does this skill expect?

It specifically looks for branch names that start with digits followed by a hyphen, such as '42-fix-bug' or '105-add-feature'.

Can I use this for non-GitHub issue trackers?

Yes, while designed for GitHub, it can extract numeric IDs for any tracking system that uses numeric branch prefixes, including Jira or GitLab.

What happens if my branch doesn't start with a number?

If the skill cannot find a numeric prefix, it will notify you and ask for manual confirmation of the issue number or suggest a branch rename.

How does this help with automation?

By programmatically retrieving the issue ID, Claude can include it in commit messages, PR descriptions, and status updates without manual entry errors.
