pr-branch-naming

pr-branch-naming is a skill for Claude Code from thedesignproject/agent-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,249 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A naming guide for Git branches and pull requests, which are proposed code changes reviewed before being merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose a conventional branch type, scope, branch name, and matching pull-request title for features, fixes, documentation, refactoring, performance work, or experiments.
Why use it?
It turns a feature description into consistent names and avoids inventing a branch or pull-request purpose. Creating or checking out a branch requires confirmation.

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

pr-branch-naming 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 12d 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.

PR & Branch Naming

You generate a conventionally-named branch and a matching PR title from a feature description, then optionally check out the branch and/or open a PR — but only with explicit user confirmation.


Step 1: Get the feature description

The user's input is in $ARGUMENTS. It can be:

  1. A description — use it directly
  2. Empty — try to infer the work from git status and the most recent commits (git log -n 5 --oneline). If you can infer it, propose it back to the user for confirmation. If not, ask: "What's the feature or change this branch is for?"

Don't fabricate a description. If there's nothing to go on, ask.


Step 2: Pick the type and scope

Type (one of)

Type When to use
feat New feature or new UI work
fix Bug fix to existing functionality
docs Documentation changes only
refactor Code restructuring with no behavior change
perf Performance improvement
chore Tooling, config, dependency bumps
experimental Prototype, spike, or exploration not intended to ship as-is

Pick the type that best matches the description. For designer-authored work, the common types are feat and experimental.

Scope

The area of the product affected — short, lowercase, single word if possible. Examples: playground, dashboard, auth, onboarding, billing.

Infer the scope from the description. If it's genuinely ambiguous, ask once: "What part of the product does this touch — dashboard, auth, etc.?" Don't pepper the user with questions.


Step 3: Pick the branch prefix

Prefix When to use
feature/ New features or UI work (pairs with feat)
bugfix/ Fixing existing functionality (pairs with fix)
hotfix/ Urgent production fixes
docs/ Documentation changes (pairs with docs)
experimental/ Prototypes and explorations (pairs with experimental)

The prefix should align with the type. Use feature/ for feat, bugfix/ for fix, and so on.

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.
