Branch Name Generation

Generate a semantic Git branch name following the convention.

Branch Naming Convention

{type}-{issue_number}-{short_id}-{slug}

Components:

  • type: feat, fix, chore (from issue classification)
  • issue_number: GitHub issue number
  • short_id: 8-character identifier (ADW ID if provided)
  • slug: Kebab-case summary of issue (max 30 chars)

Examples

feat-123-a1b2c3d4-add-user-auth
fix-456-e5f6g7h8-login-double-submit
chore-789-i9j0k1l2-update-dependencies

Rules

  1. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
  2. No spaces or special characters in slug
  3. Slug should be descriptive but concise (max 30 chars)
  4. Response should be ONLY the branch name, nothing else

Arguments

  • $1: Issue type (feat, fix, chore)
  • $2: Short ID (8 characters, or generate one)
  • $ARGUMENTS: Issue title or description

Generation Process

  1. Take the issue type from $1
  2. Extract issue number if present in arguments
  3. Use provided short ID from $2 or generate 8 random hex chars
  4. Create slug from issue description:
    • Convert to lowercase
    • Replace spaces with hyphens
    • Remove special characters
    • Truncate to 30 characters
    • Remove trailing hyphens

Issue Context

Type: $1 ID: $2 Issue: $ARGUMENTS
