branch

branch is a command for Claude Code from BitYoungjae/marketplace. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,156 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Git command that studies the current project changes and creates a named branch for them. A Git branch is a separate line of development that lets work proceed without changing the main line immediately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a branch based on the purpose of current changes, such as a bug fix, feature, rename, or retry improvement.
Why use it?
It removes the need to invent a branch name and inspect every change manually before creating the branch. It also enforces a consistent lowercase, hyphen-separated naming style.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

branch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gitkkal branch

Analyzes changes and generates an appropriate branch name, then creates the branch.

Critical Rules

  • NEVER create branches with non-English names
  • NEVER use special characters except hyphens
  • Branch names MUST be lowercase kebab-case
  • Maximum 50 characters for branch name

Workflow

1. Load Configuration

git rev-parse --show-toplevel  # Find project root

Read {project_root}/.gitkkal/config.json. If not exists, use defaults and display once: "Using default settings. Run /gitkkal:init to customize."

2. Analyze Current State

Run in parallel:

git status --short
git diff              # Actual content changes (unstaged)
git diff --cached     # Actual content changes (staged)
  • No changes → Ask user for branch description directly
  • Changes exist → Proceed to semantic analysis

3. Understand Semantic Intent

Focus on the "why" rather than the "what":

  • Read actual diff content, not just file statistics
  • Identify the semantic meaning of changes (e.g., "renaming SKU to Bundle ID", "adding retry logic")
  • Look for patterns: variable renames, API changes, new abstractions, bug fixes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
