Please help me install this Agent Skill. Skill: create-worktree Source: https://github.com/jeffh/claude-plugins/tree/main/humanlayer/skills/create-worktree Command: npx skills add https://github.com/jeffh/claude-plugins --skill create-worktree
This Skill automates the creation of isolated development workspaces for feature development or bug fixes, enabling parallel work without polluting the main repository.
Provide a worktree name (or allow automatic name generation) and a base branch; the tool will create the new worktree under $HOME/wt/[repo-name], copy configuration, install dependencies, and prompt you to start work in the new location.

Git worktrees create isolated development workspaces by establishing a new branch and working directory. Provide a worktree name and base branch; the tool generates the path under $HOME/wt/[repo-name], sets up dependencies via make setup, and prepares the environment for parallel work without affecting your main repository.
Yes, this Skill supports both git worktrees and jj workspaces. For jj, it creates a new workspace and bookmark instead of a branch, applying the same automated setup, dependency installation, and configuration cloning to establish an isolated development environment.
The Skill includes safe cleanup that automatically removes the created worktree or jj workspace if setup fails, preventing orphaned directories. This ensures your repository remains clean and you can retry without manual intervention.
Worktrees eliminate branch-switching overhead by maintaining separate working directories for each branch. Create a worktree for your feature or bug fix; dependencies install per-worktree, and your main checkout stays unaffected, enabling true parallel development.
Yes, the Skill clones your .claude directory into each new worktree and optionally initializes a thoughts directory. This environment cloning ensures per-worktree configurations and context are available without manual duplication.
Use worktrees when you need concurrent work on multiple branches, per-worktree dependencies, or isolated environments that don't disrupt your main checkout. Worktrees avoid the overhead of stashing changes and reinstalling dependencies each time you switch contexts.
