Speckit Git Feature Skill

Create Infrahub Feature Branch

Create and switch to a new git feature branch for the given specification, enforcing an Infrahub Jira or JPD ticket reference as the branch name suffix.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

• Verify Git is available by running git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null
• If Git is not available, warn the user and skip branch creation

Step 1: Resolve Ticket Reference

Parse $ARGUMENTS for a ticket ID matching either of these formats:

• JPD format: infp-[0-9]+ (e.g., infp-460)
• Jira epic format: ifc-[0-9]+ (e.g., ifc-2140)

If no ticket ID is found in the arguments, prompt the user:

"Please provide a Jira or JPD reference for this feature (e.g., infp-460 for a JPD item or ifc-2140 for a Jira epic):"

Do not proceed until a valid ticket ID is provided. Never invent or skip it.

Step 2: Generate Short Name

Generate a concise short name (2-4 words) from the feature description:

• Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., user-auth, fix-payment-timeout)
• Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
• Examples:
  • "Add user authentication" → user-auth
  • "Implement OAuth2 integration for the API" → oauth2-api-integration
  • "Fix payment processing timeout bug" → fix-payment-timeout

Step 3: Create Branch

Construct the branch name as <short-name>-<ticket-id> (e.g., user-auth-infp-460), then pass it as GIT_BRANCH_NAME to bypass the script's automatic numbering:

GIT_BRANCH_NAME="<short-name>-<ticket-id>" .specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh --json "<feature description>"

Example:

GIT_BRANCH_NAME="user-auth-infp-460" .specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh --json "Add user authentication"

IMPORTANT:

• Always construct GIT_BRANCH_NAME as <short-name>-<ticket-id> — ticket ID is the suffix
• Always include --json so output can be parsed reliably
• Run this script exactly once per feature
• For single quotes in args, use escape syntax: 'I'\''m Groot'

Output

The script outputs JSON with:

• BRANCH_NAME: The branch name (e.g., user-auth-infp-460)
• FEATURE_NUM: The ticket ID
