What happens if I have uncommitted changes?

The skill detects uncommitted work and offers to stash it before switching to the default branch, ensuring no work is lost during the creation process.

What naming convention does this skill use?

It follows the Sentry standard: / / , ensuring branches are easily identifiable by owner and purpose.

How does it suggest a branch name?

The skill analyzes your git diff, status, and any provided arguments to generate a kebab-case description of the work you are performing.

Can it prevent duplicate branch names?

Yes, it runs a check against local and remote references (git show-ref) to ensure the proposed name doesn't already exist.

Does it require the GitHub CLI?

It uses the GitHub CLI to automatically fetch your username. If it's not installed or authenticated, it will simply ask you to provide your preferred prefix.

Developer Tools

Automates the creation of standardized Git branches following Sentry's naming conventions and organizational types.

The Sentry Git Branch Creator is a specialized skill designed to bring consistency and automation to your version control workflow. By following the Sentry naming standard (<username>/<type>/<description>), it eliminates the guesswork in branch organization. The skill intelligently fetches your GitHub identity, analyzes local diffs to suggest descriptive names, and guides you through classifying changes as features, fixes, or refactors. It handles technical edge cases like branching from detached HEADs or switching from non-default branches, ensuring your development environment stays clean and aligned with team standards.
