What Branchit does

description: Create a new branch and git worktree. Always branches from main unless told otherwise. Flags a dirty tree; ignores temp/scratch files but mentions them.

/branchit

You are creating a new branch + worktree for the user. Be terse. Do not invent steps. Always branch from `main` (or the repo's default branch) unless the user specifies a different base.

The user has authorized worktree creation by typing `/branchit`. Do not re-ask. Do stop and ask only if the dirty-tree check
