SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Batch-provision git worktrees for planned tasks across one or more repos, keeping each task isolated to avoid cross-contamination between branches while you work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resolve target repos under ~/Developer using provider/org/repo layouts.
  • Create per-task worktrees at ~/Developer/.worktrees/<session-id>/<mirrored-repo-path> with a dedicated branch.
  • Serialize worktree creation per-repo to avoid conflicts and provide a final summary table.

Quick Start

Provide a structured prompt describing the repos and branches you want to start work on, and run the start-project skill to provision the corresponding worktrees.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create git worktrees for multiple tasks across different repos?▼

To create git worktrees for multiple tasks, you provide a structured prompt listing the repos and tasks. The skill batch-provisions isolated worktrees at ~/Developer/.worktrees/<session-id>/<mirrored-repo-path> with dedicated branches.

What is git worktree branching used for in a multi-repo dev workflow?▼

Git worktree branching in a multi-repo dev workflow keeps planned tasks isolated to avoid cross-contamination between branches. Each task gets a dedicated branch checked out in a predictable path under your local Developer directory.

Do I need my repos organized in a specific layout to use multi-repo worktrees?▼

Yes, you need repos organized under ~/Developer using a provider/org/repo layout. The skill resolves target repos by matching this directory structure to find the correct paths for worktree creation.

What happens if a git worktree cannot be created for a planned task?▼

If a git worktree cannot be created for a planned task, the skill stops the batch process immediately and returns a clear error. Worktree creation is serialized per-repo to avoid conflicts, followed by a final summary table.

Can I specify a custom base branch when provisioning worktrees for planned tasks?▼

No, you cannot specify a custom base branch when provisioning worktrees for planned tasks. The skill automatically uses the default branch of each resolved repository to create the dedicated task branch.
