What it does

Speckit Branch Convention Validate is an agent skill from haru/redmine_ai_helper. Check all feature branches and spec folders against the configured naming convention

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires spec-kit project structure with .specify/ directory

It sits in Development, covering Spec-driven development. The repository describes itself as: A Redmine plugin that adds AI agents, MCP Server, smart completion, and vector search. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Spec-driven development

Example prompts

  • “/speckit-branch-convention-validate”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires spec-kit project structure with .specify/ directory

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify a spec-kit project exists by checking for .specify/ directory
  2. Load convention config from .specify/branch-convention.yml
  3. If no convention is configured, use the default pattern ({seq}-{kebab} for both branch and folder)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3cd87d6. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires spec-kit project structure with .specify/ directory

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Speckit Branch Convention Validate loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Branch Convention Validate Skill

Validate Branch Convention

Check all existing feature branches and spec folders against the configured naming convention. Reports compliance status and identifies violations.

User Input

text
$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty). The user may specify a specific branch to validate (e.g., "003-user-auth") or "all" to check everything.

Prerequisites

  1. Verify a spec-kit project exists by checking for .specify/ directory
  2. Load convention config from .specify/branch-convention.yml
  3. If no convention is configured, use the default pattern ({seq}-{kebab} for both branch and folder)

Outline

  1. Load convention: Read .specify/branch-convention.yml and extract:

    • branch_pattern — the expected branch naming pattern
    • folder_pattern — the expected spec folder naming pattern
    • Token definitions (seq_padding, separator, lowercase, etc.)

  2. Collect branches and folders: Gather all feature-related items:

    • Git branches: List all local branches matching spec-kit patterns (exclude main, master, develop)
    • Spec folders: List all directories under specs/
    • Match pairs: Associate each branch with its corresponding spec folder

  3. Validate each item: For every branch and folder, check:

    CheckRuleExample Violation
    Pattern matchBranch matches branch_pattern structureuser-auth missing sequence number
    Type prefixIf pattern includes {type}, prefix must be in type_prefix mapfeature/003-auth instead of feat/003-auth
    Sequence format{seq} must be zero-padded to seq_padding digits3-auth instead of 003-auth
    Length limitBranch name must not exceed max_length characters003-very-long-branch-name-that-exceeds-limit...
    Case ruleIf lowercase: true, no uppercase characters (except ticket IDs)003-User-Auth
    SeparatorWords must use configured separator003_user_auth when separator is -
    Branch-folder syncBranch name and folder name must be derivable from same sourceBranch feat/003-auth but folder 004-auth
    Ticket formatIf pattern includes {ticket}, must match ticket_pattern regexproj-142 when pattern requires [A-Z]+-[0-9]+

  4. Output compliance report:

    markdown
    # Branch Convention Compliance Report

**Convention**: {preset name or "custom"}
**Branch pattern**: {branch_pattern}
**Folder pattern**: {folder_pattern}

## Results

| Branch | Folder | Status | Issues |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| feat/003-user-auth | 003-user-auth | ✅ Compliant | — |
| 004-chat-system | 004-chat-system | ⚠️ Non-compliant | Missing type prefix |
| feat/5-api | 5-api | ⚠️ Non-compliant | Sequence not zero-padded |

## Summary
- **Total**: {N} branches
- **Compliant**: {X} ✅
- **Non-compliant**: {Y} ⚠️
- **Orphaned folders** (no branch): {Z}

## Recommended Actions
1. Run `/speckit.branch-convention.rename` to fix non-compliant items

  5. Report: Output the compliance report. Do not modify any files — this command is read-only.

Show full SKILL.md (61 more words)Show less

Rules

  • Read-only — this command never modifies any files or branches
  • Always show all items — include compliant and non-compliant for full visibility
  • Be specific about violations — explain exactly which rule was violated and what the correct name should be
  • Handle missing config gracefully — if no convention is configured, validate against the default pattern and note that no custom convention has been set
