conventional-branch

conventional-branch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from drvoss/everything-copilot-cli. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,523 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Git branch naming guide that creates or checks names using a predictable type and description, such as feature or fix. It also checks that the branch starts from the appropriate base branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work, renaming a branch, validating a team convention, or creating a branch name from a work item.
Why use it?
Consistent names make branches easier to scan, sort, and connect to the work being done. Validation catches unclear names before the branch is pushed.

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

conventional-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 yesterday.

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 — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conventional Branch

Create branch names that are easy to scan, easy to sort, and easy to align with Conventional Commits.

When to Use

  • Starting a new task and no branch exists yet
  • Renaming or validating a branch before pushing it
  • Aligning branch naming with a team convention such as feature/... or fix/...
  • Mapping a work item to a predictable branch slug before parallel work begins

When NOT to Use

Instead of conventional-branch Use
Writing or splitting commit messages commit-workflow
Creating isolated parallel checkouts for multiple branches using-git-worktrees
Switching to an already agreed branch name with no validation needed create or checkout the branch directly

Branch Shape

<type>/<description>

Allowed types

Type Alias Good fit
feature feat New features or enhancements
fix bugfix Non-urgent bug fixes
hotfix Urgent production fixes
release Release preparation branches
docs Documentation-only changes
chore Tooling, config, or housekeeping

main, master, and develop remain reserved trunk branches. Do not treat them as valid topic branch names in this workflow.

Naming Rules

  • Lowercase only
  • Use letters, digits, and hyphens in normal descriptions
  • Allow dots only for release versions such as release/v1.2.0
  • No spaces, underscores, or special characters
  • No consecutive hyphens or dots
  • No -. or .-
  • No leading or trailing hyphen or dot in the description

Valid examples

feature/add-login-page
feat/issue-123-add-login
fix/fix-header-overflow
hotfix/security-patch
release/v1.2.0
docs/update-docs-links

Workflow

1. Decide the branch type

Choose the type from the actual work:

  • new capability -> feature
  • defect correction -> fix
  • urgent production repair -> hotfix
  • release prep -> release
  • documentation-only change -> docs
  • tooling or config cleanup -> chore

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.
