Worktree isolation separates each agent into an independent directory using cv-wt, preventing file conflicts during parallel coding sessions. This ensures multiple developers can work on different branches simultaneously without overwriting each other's uncommitted changes.

Pre-commit and pre-push hooks are scripts that block unsafe writes and maintain code quality before changes are saved to a branch. They enforce code safety by validating changes in isolated worktrees, ensuring parallel development does not corrupt the repository.

You claim a branch for exclusive access using the cv-claim command, which prevents other agents from writing to it. You heartbeat the claim during your session and release it after pushing changes to free the branch for others.

Yes, git is required for branch management and hook enforcement alongside cv-wt and cv-claim. The system relies on git's branching structure to isolate worktrees and enforce pre-commit and pre-push hooks for safe parallel writing.

Worktree isolation is ideal for collaborative coding where multiple developers or agents are working on different branches simultaneously. It prevents conflicts and maintains code integrity by giving each session its own separate working directory rather than switching branches in place.
