Code Start Branch
Table of Contents
When to use this skill
Out-of-band work with no task attached: experiments, throwaway spikes, one-off fixes that will not be tracked. Everything task-shaped goes through agile-start-task instead — branches should normally trace to tasks.
How to use this skill
Fetch and branch:
git fetch origin main && git checkout -b <kind>/<slug> origin/main
- If the work becomes real, retrofit a task with
agile-add-taskand wire the branch withcompass task start <slug> --branch <branch>.
