branche — Claude Code skill: branch off fresh main

Q: How do I install branche in Claude?

Run `npx skills add naiersaidane/claude-mastery --skill branche -a claude-code`. The skill file lands at `~/.claude/skills/branche/SKILL.md`.

Q: How do I set the branch name?

Pass it as an argument: `/branche feat/algorithme-churn`. Without an argument the skill asks for a name or description and suggests one with a prefix.

Creates a new Git branch from the latest main with a feat/ or fix/ prefix. Handy before you start isolated work on a task.

What branche does

The skill does one thing: starts a branch from the newest main. It switches to main and pulls changes with git checkout main && git pull origin main, then creates the branch and checks it out.

Pass a name as an argument, like /branche feat/algorithme-churn, and it goes straight into git checkout -b. With no argument the skill asks for a branch name or a short description, then suggests a name with a feat/ prefix for new functionality or fix/ for a bug fix. It finishes by running git branch --show-current to confirm.

Because it branches off main, uncommitted changes in your current branch can block the checkout — worth a git stash or a commit first. The skill is meant as the step before /livre and runs in Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.

What it helps with

start a branch from an up-to-date main in one command
get a branch name with a feat/ or fix/ prefix
pull the latest changes before starting work
avoid inventing a branch name by hand
confirm which branch you ended up on

Example prompts for the agent

/branche feat/algorithme-churn
/branche
create a branch for a new feature, start from main

# /branche

Crée une nouvelle branche à partir de la dernière version de main.

## Étapes

1. Bascule sur main et récupère la dernière version :
   ```bash
   git checkout main && git pull origin main
   ```

2. **Si `$ARGUMENTS` est fourni** (ex. `/branche feat/algorithme-churn`) :
   - Utilise l'argument directement comme nom de branche
   - Crée et bascule sur la branche : `git checkout -b <nom-de-branche>`

3. **Si aucun argument n'est fourni :**
   - Demande à l'utilisateur le nom de la branche ou une description du travail
   - Propose un nom avec un préfixe conventionnel : `feat/` ou `fix/`
   - Une fois confirmé, crée la branche : `git checkout -b <nom-de-branche>`

4. Confirme la création de la branche en exécutant `git branch --show-current`

## Conventions de nommage des branches

Utilise ces préfixes :
- `feat/` — Nouvelle fonctionnalité
- `fix/` — Correction de bug

Si l'utilisateur fournit un nom sans préfixe, propose d'en ajouter un.
