Create a git branch following Sentry naming conventions. Use when asked to "create a branch", "new branch", "start a branch", "make a branch", "switch to a new branch", or when starting new work on the default branch.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by getsentry on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Create Branch AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/getsentry/skills/tree/main/skills/create-branch
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/getsentry/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/create-branch .claude/skills/create-branch

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Create Branch in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Create Branch on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Create Branch is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Create Branch

Create a git branch following Sentry naming conventions. Keep this workflow non-interactive unless the user explicitly asks to choose the name manually.

Workflow

Resolve the work description:
- If $ARGUMENTS is present, use it
- Otherwise inspect:
```
bash
git diff
git diff --cached
git status --short
```
- If there are local changes, derive a short description from the diff
- If there are no local changes, use a generic description like repo-maintenance, tooling-update, or work-in-progress
Classify the branch type:

Type	Use when
`feat`	New functionality
`fix`	Broken behavior now works
`ref`	Behavior stays the same, structure changes
`chore`	Maintenance of existing tooling/config
`perf`	Same behavior, faster
`style`	Visual or formatting only
`docs`	Documentation only
`test`	Tests only
`ci`	CI/CD config
`build`	Build system
`meta`	Repo metadata
`license`	License changes

When unsure: use feat for new things, ref for restructuring, chore for maintenance.

Generate <type>/<short-description>. Keep <short-description> kebab-case, ASCII-only, and ideally 3 to 6 words.

Choose the base without prompting:

bash
git branch --show-current
git remote | grep -qx origin && echo origin || git remote | head -1
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|refs/remotes/<remote>/||' | tr -d '[:space:]'

If default branch detection fails, fall back to main, then master, then the current branch
If on a detached HEAD, branch from the current commit
If already on a non-default branch, branch from the current branch
Only switch to the default branch when the user explicitly asks

Avoid collisions by appending -2, -3, and so on until the name is unused locally and remotely.

Create the branch:

bash
git checkout -b <branch-name>

Report the final branch name, but do not stop for confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Create Branch AI skill do?

Why use Create Branch on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Create Branch is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Create Branch in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/getsentry/skills/tree/main/skills/create-branch. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Create Branch?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Create Branch?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Create Branch with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Create Branch AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by getsentry under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
