What happens if I don't provide a GitHub issue ID?

The skill will skip the issue ID portion and create the branch using the format '[category]/[branch-name]'.

Does this skill require manual input for every branch?

No, it is designed to infer branch names and issue IDs from the existing conversation context or use sensible defaults like 'feature' if none are provided.

Does it automatically push the new branch to the remote repository?

No, this skill focuses on the local creation and checkout of the branch; you can review your changes before pushing to a remote.

Can I use custom branch categories?

Yes, while the skill suggests common categories like poc, feature, and fix, it is flexible and accepts any category name provided in the arguments.
