    About This Skill

    What it does

    Transform messy task descriptions into standardized, professional Git branch names instantly. This skill automates the logic behind branch naming conventions, handling type detection (feature, fix, refactor, etc.), slugification, and ticket prefixing without manual editing.

    Why use this skill

    Consistency is key to a clean repository, but manual naming leads to "quick-fix-1" or "bug-stuff". This skill ensures every developer on your team follows the same strict format. It replaces the cognitive load of "What should I name this?" with a automated workflow that even offers to execute the git checkout -b command for you.

    Supported workflows

    • Intelligent Detection: Automatically categorizes work into fix, feature, hotfix, docs, refactor, test, or chore.
    • Ticket Integration: Recognizes and formats project keys like JIRA tags or GitHub issue numbers.
    • Clean Slugs: Lowercases, removes noise words, and sanitizes punctuation for terminal-safe names.
    • Atomic Execution: One-click (or one-word) branch creation after name generation.

    The output is a precise shell command ready for execution, ensuring your local environment stays in sync with your task tracking system.

    Use Cases

    • Standardize branch naming across a distributed engineering team
    • Automatically extract and format JIRA/GitHub tickets into branch names
    • Categorize commits into features, fixes, or chores via intelligent detection
    • Reduce context switching by creating branches directly from natural language

    Permissions

    Terminal / Shell

    Branch Name Generator needs terminal access only when user confirms "create this branch now." In that case, it runs `git checkout -b {branch-name}`. If the user only wants a suggestion without creating the branch, no terminal access is used. No file, browser, network, or environment access required.

    Works with Claude Code and Codex. Requires git in PATH. Creates branches locally (does not push to remote unless user manually runs `git push -u origin branch-name`).

    Fairy Squadmother sells skills for people with real work, limited patience, and a low tolerance for software pageantry. Her skills help creators, founders, freelancers, and practical humans turn repeatable messes into reusable systems. Promptcrud. Taskspawn. Filefog. Launch splatter. Documentation drift. The weird little admin barnacles that attach themselves to anything worth doing. She builds for the moment when you know the process can be better, but you do not have a spare week to go spelunking through your own workflow with a headlamp and a grudge. Clear instructions. Useful defaults. Less performance. More usable machinery. Onward.
