Creates a git clone for isolated feature development.

Feature description from user input

"$ARGUMENTS"

Feature Description Validation

•If empty or missing: "Error: Feature description is required. Please provide a detailed description."

Process

Step 1: Parse Feature Description

•Decide on feature name based on description
•Convert feature name to kebab-case for branch naming
•Validate description is sufficient for planning

Step 2: Create Git Clone

Set up isolated feature branch from origin/main (unless user stated a different branch)

bash

# Save original repo directory for later symlink step
ORIGINAL_REPO_DIR=$(pwd)

# Get the current repo URL
REPO_URL=$(git config --get remote.origin.url)

# Create _clones directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p _clones

# Create clone in _clones subdirectory with branch name as folder
git clone -b main "$REPO_URL" _clones/$FEATURE_NAME

# Move to new clone directory
cd _clones/$FEATURE_NAME

# Create and checkout the feature branch
git checkout -b $FEATURE_NAME

Step 3: Publish Branch to Remote

Push the empty branch to remote to establish tracking:

bash

# Push the branch to remote and set upstream
git push -u origin $FEATURE_NAME

Step 4: Sync with Main

Run the sync skill to commit and push.

Step 5: Symlink Environment Files

Symlink .env* files from the original repo to the clone:

bash

# Symlink .env* files from original repo
bash ~/.claude/scripts/symlink_env_files.sh "$ORIGINAL_REPO_DIR" "_clones/$FEATURE_NAME"

Step 6: Setup Environment

Setup development environment:

bash

# Setup development environment
bash ~/.claude/scripts/setup_project_env.sh

Step 7: Notify User

Tell user:

•The clone has been created at _clones/$FEATURE_NAME
•The branch $FEATURE_NAME has been published to remote

Step 8: Change to Feature Directory

Change to the feature clone directory.

FROM NOW ALL NEW WORK SHOULD ONLY BE DONE IN THIS FEATURE DIR
