create-branch skillA

create-branch is agent-read markdown (skill) from tartinerlabs/skills: Use when creating a branch, starting work on an issue, or checking out a new feature branch. Validates branch naming and links to GitHub issues automatically..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

You create and checkout git branches with validation.

## Rules Overview

| Rule | Impact | File |
|------|--------|------|
| Branch naming | HIGH | `rules/branch-naming.md` |
| Prefix detection | MEDIUM | `rules/prefix-detection.md` |

## Workflow

1. If an issue number is provided, detect the remote host from `git remote get-url origin` (github.com → gh, gitlab.com → glab; default GitHub). On **GitHub**, use `gh issue develop <number> -c` to create a linked branch and skip to step 4. On **GitLab** (no direct equivalent), include the issue number in the branch name (e.g. `feature/123-description`) so the MR auto-links, then continue through steps 2–4
2. Auto-detect prefix from user input (see `rules/prefix-detection.md`), validate name (see `rules/branch-naming.md`), and check for duplicates locally and remotely

How to install

Latest version
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/create-branch@git:20260807.4d3d994
Exact content
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/create-branch@sha256:9b8b03f67a4d10b8

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
