# Linking Branches to Issues
## Purpose
Manages development branches using the `gh issue develop` command.
## 1. Safety & Verification
- **Mandatory Context**: Ensure `gh-verifying-context` has been run and confirmed by the user.
- **Human-in-the-Loop**: You MUST confirm the branch name and the target issue with the user before creation.
- **Repository Check**: Ensure you are in the correct repository (work vs personal) before creating a branch.
## 2. Common Workflows
### Workflow: Create Linked Branch
Creates a new branch and links it to the issue.
**Command**:
```bash
gh issue develop <issue-number> --name "feature-x"
```

Interact with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, set up or manage routines (recurring scheduled tasks), or call any Paperclip API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for Paperclip coordination.
