 - `assist commit status` - Show git status and diff
 - `assist commit <message>` - Commit staged changes with validation
 - `assist commit <message> [files...]` - Stage files and create a git commit with validation
-- `assist branch <slug> [--jira <key>]` - Create and switch to a new branch off the fresh remote default branch. Assembles the name as `[<prefix>/][<JIRA>-]<slug>` (prefix from the optional `branch.prefix` config, Jira key used verbatim), fetches and branches from `origin/<default>` (resolved live from the remote, falling back to `main`, overridable via `branch.defaultBranch`), and rejects slugs whose numeric tokens look like backlog IDs. A long free-text slug is first shortened to a concise, LLM-assisted kebab-case name (falling back to a word-boundary trim if the model is unavailable) so branch names stay brief
+- `assist branch <slug> [--jira <key>] [--from <ref>]` - Create and switch to a new branch off the fresh remote default branch. Assembles the name as `[<prefix>/][<JIRA>-]<slug>` (prefix from the optional `branch.prefix` config, Jira key used verbatim), fetches and branches from `origin/<default>` (resolved live from the remote, falling back to `main`, overridable via `branch.defaultBranch`), and rejects slugs whose numeric tokens look like backlog IDs. Pass `--from <ref>` to base the branch off `<ref>` verbatim (a local branch, tag, or `origin/*` remote-tracking ref) instead of the remote default; the ref is still fetched first and validated with `git rev-parse --verify`, failing fast if it does not resolve.

 - `assist prs` - List pull requests for the current repository
 - `assist prs raise --title <title> --what <what> --why <why> [--how <how>] [--resolves <key>] [--force]` - Raise a pull request, assembling the body from `## What`, `## Why` (with `--resolves` Jira URLs appended inline), and an optional `## How`. When run inside an assist web session, the drafted title and body are shown in a 50/50 preview pane beside the terminal for approve/reject before the PR is created or updated (the command blocks until you decide; rejecting exits non-zero); in a plain terminal it places the PR directly, erroring if one already exists unless `--force` overwrites its title and body. Run `assist prs raise --help` for full authoring guidance (which itself adapts to the terminal-vs-web context)
 - `assist prs edit [--title <title>] [--what <what>] [--why <why>] [--how <how>] [--resolves <key>]` - Update only the supplied sections of the current branch's pull request, preserving every other section of its body

 - `assist backlog subtask-status <id> <idx> <status>` - Set a sub-task's status (`todo`, `in-progress`, `done`) by its 1-based index from `backlog show`

+- `assist backlog update-field <id> --origin [url-or-key]` - Retag a single item to a different repo, moving just that item (normalized like `move-repo`, so URL or `git@` forms are accepted); with no value, retags to the current repo's origin; a no-op with a clear message when the item is already on that origin
