 Given that feature description, do this:
 
-1. Run the script `{SCRIPT}` from repo root and parse its JSON output for BRANCH_NAME and SPEC_FILE. All file paths must be absolute.
-  **IMPORTANT** You must only ever run this script once. The JSON is provided in the terminal as output - always refer to it to get the actual content you're looking for. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").

+1. **Generate a concise short name** (2-4 words) for the branch:
+   - Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
+   - Create a 2-4 word short name that captures the essence of the feature
+   - Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
+   - Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
+   - Keep it concise but descriptive enough to understand the feature at a glance
+   - Examples:
+     - "I want to add user authentication" → "user-auth"
+     - "Implement OAuth2 integration for the API" → "oauth2-api-integration"
