SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Fresh git worktrees are often broken because they lack necessary gitignored files, environment variables, and build artifacts. This skill automates the discovery and setup process to ensure every new worktree is immediately ready for development.

Core Features & Use Cases

Intelligent Discovery: Interviews the codebase to identify required secrets, build steps, and port requirements.
Automated Configuration: Generates and wires the necessary hooks and include files to bootstrap the environment.
Verification: Performs live smoke tests to ensure the worktree is fully functional before you start coding.

Quick Start

Run the quality worktree setup command to bootstrap your current repository for automatic environment configuration.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate git worktree setup for missing environment files and dependencies?▼

Automate git worktree setup by interviewing the codebase to identify missing gitignored files, build dependencies, and environment variables, then wiring hooks to bootstrap the environment automatically. This ensures every new worktree is immediately ready for development without manual configuration.

Why does my fresh git worktree have broken build dependencies and missing environment variables?▼

Fresh git worktrees break because they lack necessary gitignored files, environment variables, and build artifacts that exist only in the main working directory. Automating the discovery and setup process ensures every new worktree is immediately ready for isolated development.

Can I use Claude Code hooks to bootstrap parallel worktrees with consistent dev environments?▼

Claude Code hooks can bootstrap parallel worktrees by applying idempotent setup hooks, deterministic port assignment, and safe symlinking of shared build caches. This supports multi-branch development workflows where parallel worktrees require consistent, isolated environments.

What is the best way to verify a new worktree is fully functional before starting development?▼

The best way to verify a new worktree is by performing live smoke tests after automated configuration. This confirms the gitignored files, environment configurations, and build dependencies are correctly wired before you start coding.

Does automated worktree configuration support shared build caches and deterministic port assignment?▼

Automated worktree configuration supports multi-branch development workflows by satisfying requirements for deterministic port assignment and safe symlinking of shared build caches. This ensures isolated worktree environments remain consistent across parallel branches.

Do I need to manually configure git hooks for each new worktree in a multi-branch workflow?▼

You do not need to manually configure git hooks for each new worktree. Automated worktree setup generates and wires the necessary hooks and include files to bootstrap the environment, applying idempotent setup hooks for consistent multi-branch development.
