This Skill streamlines the process of creating new git worktrees, ensuring a clean and organized development environment for new tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Worktree Creation: Generates a new git worktree and a corresponding tmux window.
  • Intelligent Branch Naming: Automatically creates descriptive branch names from task descriptions or accepts explicit names.
  • Task Prompt Injection: Injects a clear task prompt into the new agent session for immediate context.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, you can say "create a worktree for adding a dark mode toggle", and the Skill will set up the branch and session for you.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a git worktree and automatically set up a tmux window for a new task?▼

To create a git worktree and tmux window together, you can use a workflow automation tool that generates a new branch, sets up the worktree, and injects a task prompt into the new agent session for immediate context.

Can I automatically generate branch names from task descriptions when creating a new worktree?▼

Yes, you can automatically generate branch names from task descriptions when creating a worktree. The workflow supports intelligent branch naming derived directly from your task text or accepts explicit branch names if specified.

Do I need the workmux utility to run detached worktree creation commands?▼

Yes, you need the workmux utility installed and configured for detached execution via nohup to support the automated creation of git worktrees and tmux windows in the background.

What is the best way to manage isolated development environments for multiple new features?▼

The best way to manage isolated development environments for multiple features is using git worktrees. This approach creates separate working directories linked to the same repository, keeping new tasks cleanly organized.

How does task prompt injection work when spinning up a new tmux session for development?▼

Task prompt injection works by automatically passing your task description into the new agent session during worktree creation, providing immediate context so the session knows exactly what to build.
