Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 2026

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned ruchernchong/claude-kit at e91af10114.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The create-branch skill enables an AI agent to create a new branch in a version control system, such as Git. It allows users to specify the name of the branch and optionally set up a tracking relationship with a remote branch.

When to use it

When you need to start working on a new feature or bug fix without affecting the main codebase.
Before making significant changes that require isolation from the current development line.
To create a dedicated branch for testing or experimentation purposes.
When collaborating with others and needing to isolate your work for review.

Key capabilities

Creates a new local Git branch.
Optionally sets up tracking with a remote branch.
Supports custom branch names as specified by the user.

Example prompts

"Create a new branch called feature-login."
"Make a branch named hotfix-ui-bug and track it to the origin."
"I need a new branch for my changes, call it experiment-new-design."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you are in the correct repository directory before using this skill.
If tracking a remote branch, confirm that the remote exists and is properly configured.
