Prepare or audit Git worktrees for Claude automation, scheduled/background agents, long-running tasks, or isolated branch work. Use when Claude needs to create a worktree, refresh a worktree, make a worktree ready for unattended execution, or replicate local-only context such as AGENTS.md, user.bazelrc, .bazelrc.user, .buckconfig.local, credentials-backed build config, editor/tooling config, or repo-specific ignored files from a primary checkout.
Ask Claude to prepare or audit a target worktree by using the script to link necessary local context files from the primary checkout.

To prepare a Git worktree for automated tasks, you can use a script to mirror a primary checkout into a target worktree. This process applies idempotent linking of selective local-context files while preserving the main repository state for isolated execution.
Yes, you can link local-only ignored files into a secondary Git worktree. The Skill safely mirrors local context such as AGENTS.md, user.bazelrc, and editor configs from a primary checkout into the target worktree using idempotent linking.
Git worktree preparation supports dry-run validation to audit changes before applying them. This mode allows you to validate the readiness of the target worktree and review which local context files will be linked without modifying the file system.
The best way to synchronize local context across multiple Git worktrees is using idempotent linking via a dedicated script. This approach replicates repo-specific ignored files and credentials-backed build configs from a primary checkout to target worktrees safely.
A background agent might fail to build in an isolated Git worktree because local-only context files are missing. Preparing the worktree by linking necessary configuration files like .bazelrc.user or .buckconfig.local from the primary checkout resolves this.
