Live repository

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

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 tartinerlabs/skills at a7812b928c.

    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

The create-branch skill enables AI agents to generate new branches within a Git repository, allowing for isolated development environments. It streamlines version control workflows by automating the branching process based on user instructions or specific commit references.

When to use it

  • Isolate feature development from the main codebase without affecting production stability.
  • Create experimental branches to test new ideas safely before merging changes.
  • Generate dedicated branches for bug fixes or hotfixes derived from a specific point in history.
  • Set up parallel development tracks for different teams working on the same project.

Key capabilities

  • Creates new Git branches programmatically via AI agent commands.
  • Supports branching from the current HEAD or specified commit hashes.
  • Facilitates seamless integration into automated CI/CD pipelines.
  • Provides a structured approach to managing concurrent development tasks.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new branch named feature/user-authentication based on the latest main commit."
  • "Set up a temporary branch called experiment/new-algorithm for testing without impacting existing code."
  • "Generate a fix branch from commit abc12345 to address the reported login issue."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has read and write permissions to the target Git repository before attempting to create branches. Always verify the branch name follows your team's naming conventions to maintain consistency across projects.
