SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Starting feature work on a project risks impacting the main branches. This skill provides isolated workspaces via git worktrees, preferring native tooling and falling back to git worktree add only when necessary to protect ongoing work.

Core Features & Use Cases

Detect existing isolation and reuse it when available.
Prefer native worktree tooling to avoid state inconsistencies.
Fall back to git worktree add with safety checks, and handle sandbox limitations gracefully.
Perform project setup and baseline verification in the isolated workspace before code changes.

Quick Start

Start an isolated workspace with a single command to begin feature work without touching your main branches.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create an isolated git workspace for feature development?▼

Create an isolated git workspace by automating git worktree creation, which detects existing isolation, prefers native tooling, and falls back to git worktree add with safety checks to protect your main branches.

What is a git worktree and when do I need it for feature work?▼

A git worktree is an isolated workspace linked to your repository that allows feature development without impacting main branches. You need it when starting feature work that requires a safe, clean baseline to protect ongoing work.

Can I reuse an existing worktree if isolation is already set up?▼

Yes, the automation detects existing worktree isolation and reuses it when available. This prevents state inconsistencies by honoring your current isolated workspace rather than creating a duplicate.

What's the best way to handle git worktree sandbox limitations?▼

Handle git worktree sandbox limitations by using a fallback approach that applies native worktree tooling first, then gracefully falls back to git worktree add while performing safety checks to verify a clean baseline.

Does git worktree creation verify a clean baseline before coding?▼

Yes, git worktree creation verifies a clean baseline before coding by performing project setup and baseline verification in the isolated workspace, ensuring your main branches remain protected during feature development.
