Create Git branches following the Conventional Branch specification (feature/, bugfix/, hotfix/, release/, chore/, plus AI agent prefixes ai/, copilot/, cursor/, claude/, codex/). Use when creating a new branch, naming a branch, or checking whether a branch name complies with the spec.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Conventional Branch Create Git branches that follow the [Conventional Branch](https://conventionalbranch.org) specification — a simple, consistent convention for naming Git branches. ## Branch Name Format ``` <type>/<description> ``` ### Branch Types **Purpose prefixes** — describe the intent of the work: | Type | Alias | Purpose | |------|-------|---------| | `feature/` | `feat/` | New features or enhancements | | `bugfix/` | `fix/` | Bug fixes | | `hotfix/` | — | Urgent production fixes | | `release/` | — | Release preparation (dots allowed in version: `release/v1.2.0`) | | `chore/` | — | Non-code tasks (deps, docs, config) | **AI agent source prefixes** — identify branches generated by AI coding agents: | Type | Alias | Purpose | |------|-------|---------| | `ai/` | — | Generic prefix for any AI coding agent | | `copilot/` | — | GitHub Copilot | | `cursor/` | — | Cursor | | `claude/` | — | Claude Code by Anthropic | | `codex/` | — | OpenAI Codex | Use a vendor-specific prefix when you know which agent is producing the branch; use `ai/` as a vendor-neutral fallback. ### Trunk Branches …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/conventional-branch@sha256:f96662c6fafb93e7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.0355990, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
