To create an isolated feature branch with git worktree, this skill checks for uncommitted changes, normalizes a feature/ branch name from the latest master, and switches your working directory into a dedicated worktree root. It validates .venv and .claude symlinks after creation.

If uncommitted changes are detected via git status --short, the feature branch creation is refused to prevent workspace pollution. The skill reports what needs to be committed or stashed before you can proceed with creating an isolated worktree.

Branch names are normalized automatically by inferring context or accepting a provided name, then converting it into a feature/ or hotfix/ style pattern. This ensures consistent branch naming for pull request preparation across development tasks.

Git worktree works with shared Python environments by validating .venv and .claude symlinks after creating the isolated branch. This ensures your development environment links remain functional when switching the working directory to the worktree root.

Using git worktree for refactoring dice logic keeps builds, logs, and experiments isolated from ongoing development. It prevents feature-branch work from polluting your current workspace while sharing the same environment configuration.

The skill defaults to creating the worktree from a fresh latest master base ref. It uses EnterWorktree to establish the isolated branch and applies workspace safety checks before switching directories.
