Git worktree isolation separates feature work into a distinct directory while sharing the repository. This process applies approval gates at directory checks, .gitignore updates, worktree creation, and project setup to prevent accidental commits.

Git worktree locations can be managed using policy-driven resolution between project-local directories like .worktrees or worktrees and global locations such as ~/.config/openagent/worktrees, with directory checks ensuring safe placement.

After creating a Git worktree, the setup process auto-detects common project files like package.json, Cargo.toml, requirements.txt, or pyproject.toml and runs the appropriate project setup commands with baseline checks.

Yes, Git worktree creation enforces explicit approval gates at each phase, including directory checks, .gitignore updates, worktree creation, and project setup, ensuring safety checks are satisfied before proceeding.

Git worktree isolation keeps feature work in a separate directory while sharing the same repository, preventing accidental commits to the main branch and allowing distinct baseline checks and project setup for each isolated workspace.

Yes, the Git worktree workflow reads CLAUDE.md preferences to configure project setup and baseline checks, applying them alongside directory checks and ignore rules during the isolated workspace creation process.
