What it does
New Branch is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. Create a fresh git branch. Use for an explicit /new-branch request or when a task-owned worktree needs a branch to ship detached work. Keep platform-assigned Builder.io and Fusion branches in place.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k 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, covering Git worktrees and Git workflow. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.
When your agent uses it
- An explicit /new-branch request
- A task-owned worktree needs a branch to ship detached work
Example prompts
- “/new-branch”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
New Branch loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,211 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,211 words (~2,771 tokens).
“Use this skill when the user invokes /new-branch, asks for a fresh branch, or /ship needs a branch in a dedicated task-owned worktree. Safe branch operations in that worktree need no extra permission. Keep a shared checkout on its current…”
