Cut a clean new branch off the latest origin/main and verify it matches the remote.
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
# New Branch (create a branch off the latest mainline) Branch off the latest `origin/main` so the starting point is clean and in sync with the remote. ## Trigger The user asks to "create a new branch / new branch / cut a branch" and wants it based on the latest mainline. ## Scope (important) This skill is **only responsible for quickly creating a clean new branch**, up to "verify right after cutting". - **Do**: fetch → branch from `origin/main` → verify sync → output confirmation. - **Do NOT**: explore / read code, spawn Explore / Plan agents, produce an implementation plan, or start writing code. Any requirement description the user includes at trigger time (e.g. "improve the add-to-slack onboarding flow") is **only used to derive the branch name / record intent**, not a dev task to start here. Follow-up requirement refinement and implementation are discussed by the user in a new conversation and are out of scope for this skill. ## Pre-checks 1. Confirm the branch name (always in English, following the `<type>/<short-desc>` convention, e.g. `feat/credit-guard`, `fix/stream-recovery`): - User already gave a ready branch name → use it directly. …

How to install
mdr add surething-io/cockpit/new-branch@sha256:f3e31e2a404bf51dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260829.57c4561, 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.
