## What it 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.

## When to use it
- 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
- /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.
