--- description: "Validate current branch follows feature branch naming conventions" --- # Validate Feature Branch Validate that the current Git branch follows the expected feature branch naming conventions. ## Prerequisites - Check if Git is available by running git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null - If Git is not available, output a warning and skip validation: `` [specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; skipped branch validation ` ## Validation Rules Get the current branch name: `bash git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD ` The branch name must match one of these patterns: 1. **Sequential**: ^[0-9]{3,}- (e.g., 001-feature-name, 042-fix-bug, 1000-big-feature) 2. **Timestamp**: ^[0-9]{8}-[0-9]{6}- (e.g., 20260319-143022-feature-name) ## Execution If on a feature branch (matches either pattern): - Output: ✓ On feature branch: <branch-name> - Check if the corresponding spec directory exists under specs/: - For sequential branches, look for specs/<prefix>-* where prefix matches the numeric portion - For timestamp branches, look for specs/<prefix>-* where prefix matches the YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS portion - If spec directory exists: ✓ Spec directory found: <path> - If spec directory missing: ⚠ No spec directory found for prefix <prefix> If NOT on a feature branch: - Output: ✗ Not on a feature branch. Current branch: <branch-name> - Output: Feature branches should be named like: 001-feature-name or 20260319-143022-feature-name ## Graceful Degradation If Git is not installed or the directory is not a Git repository: - Check the SPECIFY_FEATURE` environment variable as a fallback - If set, validate that value against the naming patterns - If not set, skip validation with a warning
