Sprint Initiation Skill

Trigger

Load this skill when a dev provides a ticket and wants to start working on it:

• "Start this ticket"
• "Set up WED-142"
• "Create a branch for this issue"
• "Give me the branch name and PR template for this ticket"

Do NOT use this skill for: actually creating the PR on GitHub (use pr-create), or planning a new project from scratch (use greenfield). This skill only outputs text — it does not push anything.

Input

Provide the ticket title and description (from Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, etc.).

Output

Branch name

Follow GIT-OS format:

feat/<short-kebab-name>
fix/<short-kebab-name>
chore/<short-kebab-name>

Rules:

• Kebab-case only
• Max 40 characters
• Derive from ticket title — no ticket numbers in branch name
• Use the correct type based on ticket intent

PR title

Same format as a conventional commit subject line:

feat(scope): Add user authentication flow
fix(auth): Prevent token expiry crash
