Branch Creator

Create a local Git branch with a short, readable name:

• feat/<slug> for normal feature work
• hotfix/<slug> for urgent fixes or production-impacting repairs

Three qualities define a good run, in this order:

1. Accurate — the prefix matches urgency, and the slug names the thing with words the team already uses.
2. Fast — the whole flow takes at most two shell commands and a handful of output lines.
3. Short — the slug is 1–3 words, ideally 2; short names get typed by hand, tab-completed, and scanned in PR lists, so every extra word costs more than it informs.

Branch creation changes the local checkout, so the default workflow is propose first, create after confirmation.
