At a glance

Create a branch with correct prefix and base. An agent skill from Adyen/adyen-android.

  • Works in 5 steps: Determine branch type → Determine base branch → Compose branch name → …
  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Usage, Steps and Important
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Android Branch Create is an agent skill from Adyen/adyen-android. Create a branch with correct prefix and base.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Android. The repository describes itself as: Adyen Android Drop-in and Components. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/android-branch-create”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine branch type
  2. Determine base branch
  3. Compose branch name
  4. Confirm with user
  5. Create and checkout

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 475ca6a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Android Branch Create loads about 782 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 420 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~782

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Create a branch with correct prefix and base.

android-branch-create

Create a new branch for the Adyen Android SDK following project naming conventions.

Usage

Invoke this skill when starting new work that requires a branch. The skill determines the correct prefix, base branch, and name, then creates and checks out the branch.

Steps

1. Determine branch type

Ask the user what type of work this is:

PrefixWhen to use
feature/New functionality or enhancements
fix/Bug fixes
chore/Internal changes, refactoring, tooling, maintenance

Note: The prefix determines whether release notes are required — feature/ and fix/ require them, chore/ and renovate/ do not. Because the first alpha has been released, merchants can already observe changes made on main, so choose the prefix based on whether the change is merchant-observable:

  • Public API change (any .api file is updated) → feature/ or fix/
  • Behavioral change without an API change — a different error code, a callback where there used to be a crash, changed defaults or validation → feature/ or fix/
  • Neither — internal refactoring, tests, tooling, documentation → chore/

If it is unclear whether a change is merchant-observable, ask the user before choosing the prefix.

2. Determine base branch
  • Default: main (current development branch, v6)
  • Use v5 only for essential fixes or features required for v5 maintenance
  • If this is part of a branch chain (phased work), the base is the branch from the previous phase, and main/v5 becomes the trunk of the stack
  • If unsure, ask the user
Show full SKILL.md (186 more words)Show less
3. Compose branch name

Format: <prefix>/<descriptive-name>

Rules:

  • Use 1-3 descriptive words separated by hyphens
  • Do not use numbers in the descriptive part of the name (except for version prefixes)
  • Including a version prefix is optional but helpful (e.g., chore/v6-sdk-data-implementation)

For branch chaining (multi-phase work):

  • Keep the same prefix as the first branch in the chain
  • Extend the name with descriptive suffixes

Example chain:

chore/drop-in-payment-method-list
chore/drop-in-payment-method-list-default
chore/drop-in-payment-method-list-ui
chore/drop-in-payment-method-list-stored
4. Confirm with user

Present the proposed branch name and base branch. Ask for approval before creating.

5. Create and checkout

Single branch (not part of a chain): create it from an up-to-date base branch, then push it with upstream tracking so it is ready for a PR.

Chained branches — build a stack so each layer targets the one below it, with main/v5 as the trunk. If stacking is unavailable, base each branch on the previous phase and set each PR's base manually.

Confirm the branch was created.

Important

  • Never create a branch without confirming the name and base with the user.
  • Always pull the latest base branch before creating the new branch.
  • Open the PRs for a stack with the android-pr-create skill.
