SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating a worktree and opening a terminal for a new feature, bug fix, or task to streamline the development workflow and ensure a clean working directory from which to start work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bootstrap a dedicated worktree for new work and initialize workflow state.
  • Parse freeform input to extract a worktree name and associated issues, then set up the environment and routing.
  • Open a terminal in the new worktree and launch Claude-based guidance to begin work.

Quick Start

Tell Claude to start a worktree with a freeform description and it will create the worktree, initialize state, and open a terminal in that directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a git worktree for a new feature and start working immediately?▼

Creating a git worktree for a new feature is automated by this Skill, which parses freeform input to extract a kebab-case name and issue references. It initializes workflow state, opens a terminal in the new directory, and launches Claude guidance for immediate work.

How does parsing freeform input work when setting up a worktree?▼

Parsing freeform input works by extracting a kebab-case worktree name and associated issue references from your description. The Skill then uses these parsed elements to initialize workflow state and set up environment routing in the new worktree automatically.

Can I launch Claude guidance automatically when opening a new worktree terminal?▼

Yes, you can launch Claude guidance automatically when opening a new worktree terminal. The Skill initializes workflow state in the new worktree and opens a terminal with Claude-based guidance already running to help you begin work immediately.

Do I need any dependencies to automate worktree creation and workflow state initialization?▼

No dependencies are required to automate worktree creation and workflow state initialization. The Skill operates independently to parse freeform input, extract worktree names and issue references, and set up the environment without external dependencies.

Why use a dedicated worktree instead of a branch when starting a new task?▼

Using a dedicated worktree instead of a branch ensures a clean working directory from which to start work. It streamlines the development workflow by isolating new features or bug fixes, initializing workflow state, and opening a terminal with Claude guidance in the new worktree.
