+description: A new feature branch
+shortcut: gsn
+category: utility
+difficulty: beginner
+estimated_time: instant
+version: 1.0.0
+---
+
+Create a new feature branch from main and ensure safe development practices. Required branch name: $ARGUMENTS
+
+Follow these steps:
+1. Check current git status and warn if there are uncommitted changes
+2. Ensure we're not already on main branch (if we are, that's fine, we'll create from main)
+3. Switch to main branch: `git checkout main`
+4. Pull latest changes: `git pull origin main`
+5. If no branch name provided in $ARGUMENTS, suggest branch name based on:
+   - Current date (format: YYYY-MM-DD)
+   - Common prefixes: feature/, fix/, chore/, docs/
+   - Ask me to confirm or specify different branch name
+6. Use provided branch name from $ARGUMENTS or the confirmed suggested name
+7. Create and switch to new branch: `git checkout -b [BRANCH_NAME]`
+8. Show current branch status: `git branch --show-current`
+9. Show git status to confirm clean working directory
+10. Remind about best practices:
+    - Keep commits small and focused
+    - Use conventional commit messages (feat:, fix:, chore:, docs:)
+    - Regularly push to remote with: `git push -u origin [BRANCH_NAME]`
+    - Use `/release-version` command when ready to merge to main
+
+Safety checks:
+- Warn if already on a feature branch and ask for confirmation
+- Warn if uncommitted changes exist and suggest stashing or committing first
+- Prevent accidental work directly on main branch
+- Ensure main is up to date before branching
