feature

Git worktrees allow you to start a new feature branch in an isolated directory, keeping your main branch clean. This Skill automates creating that isolated worktree from the latest main and bootstraps the environment so you can develop safely.

To enforce test-driven development, this Skill applies a strict RED, GREEN, REFACTOR workflow gated by plan-mode. It forces a research-first planning phase and validates implementation using make test before proceeding.

Yes, you can automate environment setup for git worktrees. This Skill runs a background agent that detects the project type, installs dependencies, copies required env files, and symlinks large directories using safety sentinels.

The best way to manage large directories in a feature worktree is through safe symlinking. This Skill automatically symlinks large source-content directories from the main repository to avoid duplication and reduce setup time.

This TDD worktree workflow validates implementation specifically through the make test command. While it creates a structured feat/<name> branch, the metadata does not enforce conventional commits as a strict requirement.

A planning gate is needed in TDD to collect required user decisions and draft a structured plan before implementation. This prevents scope drift and ensures the RED, GREEN, REFACTOR cycles target the correct behavior from the start.
