* fix(forge): use hyphen notation for command refs in Forge integration - Add invoke_separator = "-" class attribute to ForgeIntegration so effective_invoke_separator() returns "-" for shared-template installs - Add "invoke_separator": "-" to ForgeIntegration.registrar_config so agents.py CommandRegistrar can resolve refs with the correct separator - Pass invoke_separator to process_template() in ForgeIntegration.setup() so all .forge/commands/*.md bodies use /speckit-foo notation - Replace literal /speckit.specify with __SPECKIT_COMMAND_SPECIFY__ in extensions/git/commands/speckit.git.feature.md so every agent resolves the reference through its own separator - Apply resolve_command_refs re.sub in agents.py register_commands() after argument-placeholder substitution so extension commands registered for Forge get /speckit-foo refs; all other agents continue to get /speckit.foo Fixes ZSH compatibility: dot-notation command invocations (/speckit.specify) are misinterpreted by ZSH as file-path operations; hyphen notation (/speckit-specify) works correctly in all shells. * fix(agents): propagate invoke_separator from integration class into AGENT_CONFIGS Skills-based agents (claude, codex, kimi, …) inherit invoke_separator="-" from SkillsIntegration but do not repeat it in their registrar_config dicts. _build_agent_configs() was copying registrar_config verbatim, so register_commands() fell back to "." when resolving __SPECKIT_COMMAND_*__ tokens for those agents — emitting /speckit.specify instead of the correct /speckit-specify for extension commands like speckit.git.feature. Fix: after copying registrar_config, inject invoke_separator from the integration's class attribute when it is not already declared explicitly. This makes the integration class the single source of truth for all agents, without requiring each SkillsIntegration subclass to duplicate the field. Also replace the inline re.sub in register_commands() with a call to IntegrationBase.resolve_command_refs() (deferred import to avoid the existing circular dependency) so token-resolution logic is not duplicated. Adds two tests in test_agent_config_consistency.py: - test_skills_agents_have_hyphen_invoke_separator_in_agent_configs: asserts every /SKILL.md agent has invoke_separator="-" in AGENT_CONFIGS. - test_skills_agent_command_token_resolves_with_hyphen: end-to-end check via CommandRegistrar that the git extension's speckit.git.feature command is installed for Claude with /speckit-specify (not /speckit.specify). Addresses review comment on PR #2462.

Create Feature Branch
Create and switch to a new git feature branch for the given specification. This command handles branch creation only — the spec directory and files are created by the core __SPECKIT_COMMAND_SPECIFY__ workflow.
User Input
$ARGUMENTS
You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
Environment Variable Override
If the user explicitly provided GIT_BRANCH_NAME (e.g., via environment variable, argument, or in their request), pass it through to the script by setting the GIT_BRANCH_NAME environment variable before invoking the script. When GIT_BRANCH_NAME is set:
- The script uses the exact value as the branch name, bypassing all prefix/suffix generation
--short-name,--number, and--timestampflags are ignoredFEATURE_NUMis extracted from the name if it starts with a numeric prefix, otherwise set to the full branch name
Prerequisites
- Verify Git is available by running
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null - If Git is not available, warn the user and skip branch creation
Branch Numbering Mode
Determine the branch numbering strategy by checking configuration in this order:
- Check
.specify/extensions/git/git-config.ymlforbranch_numberingvalue - Check
.specify/init-options.jsonforbranch_numberingvalue (backward compatibility) - Default to
sequentialif neither exists
Execution
Generate a concise short name (2-4 words) for the branch:
- Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
- Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
- Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
Run the appropriate script based on your platform:
- Bash:
.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh --json --short-name "<short-name>" "<feature description>" - Bash (timestamp):
.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh --json --timestamp --short-name "<short-name>" "<feature description>" - PowerShell:
.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1 -Json -ShortName "<short-name>" "<feature description>" - PowerShell (timestamp):
.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1 -Json -Timestamp -ShortName "<short-name>" "<feature description>"
IMPORTANT:
- Do NOT pass
--number— the script determines the correct next number automatically - Always include the JSON flag (
--jsonfor Bash,-Jsonfor PowerShell) so the output can be parsed reliably - You must only ever run this script once per feature
- The JSON output will contain
BRANCH_NAMEandFEATURE_NUM
Graceful Degradation
If Git is not installed or the current directory is not a Git repository:
- Branch creation is skipped with a warning:
[specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; skipped branch creation - The script still outputs
BRANCH_NAMEandFEATURE_NUMso the caller can reference them
Output
The script outputs JSON with:
BRANCH_NAME: The branch name (e.g.,003-user-author20260319-143022-user-auth)FEATURE_NUM: The numeric or timestamp prefix used
