agent: add intelligent shortening to make-branch command#23
Merged
Conversation
Requirement: The make-branch command was generating overly long branch names by converting entire issue titles verbatim (e.g., i21-agent/rename-custom-commands-to-shorter-aliases-for-easier-invocation). Users need concise, manageable branch names under 50-60 characters while preserving essential meaning. Implementation: - Updated template from action-description_with_underscores to shortened-description - Added comprehensive "Shortening Strategy" section with length guidelines, filler word list, and shortening techniques - Enhanced examples section with "Basic" and "Shortening" subsections showing real shortening results - Modified implementation steps to include intelligent shortening (step 4) before formatting - Defined filler words to remove (the, a, for, to, of, with, in, on, at, by, from, that, this, using, instead, etc.) - Specified 50-char target, 60-char max with word-boundary truncation only - Added edge case handling for very short and already concise titles 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Resolves #22
The
/make-branchcommand was generating overly long branch names by converting entire issue titles verbatim (e.g.,i21-agent/rename-custom-commands-to-shorter-aliases-for-easier-invocation). Users need concise, manageable branch names under 50-60 characters while preserving essential meaning and making them easier to type and work with in CLI environments.Implementation

Manually tested the shortening logic with real issue examples:
i21-agent/rename-commands-to-aliases(38 chars) ✓i19-agent/prompt-based-input(32 chars) ✓i22-agent/shorten-branch-names(34 chars) ✓i15-doc/create-documentation-conventional-commits(49 chars) ✓All branch names are well under the 50-character target while preserving essential meaning.
