context-worktree

context-worktree detects when a new task differs from your current work context and automatically creates an isolated git worktree with a new branch. Run context-worktree collect to analyze your current context, then context-worktree create to generate a worktree when similarity is low, preventing merge conflicts and keeping work separated.

Git worktrees let you work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing changes. Use worktrees when context shifts significantly—switching to unrelated features, bug fixes, or experiments—so you maintain isolated directories and avoid losing local state or accidental cross-branch contamination.

The Skill analyzes file paths touched, recent commit history, and semantic scope to measure similarity between the new task request and current work. When similarity is low, a new worktree is automatically created; when high, work continues in the current branch.

You need Git 2.5 or newer (for worktree support) and must be inside a Git repository. The Skill automatically skips if outside a repo. No additional dependencies beyond Git itself are required.

Yes. Use the -b flag to specify a branch name and -d flag to set a descriptive path for the worktree directory, giving you full control over organization and naming conventions.
