To isolate feature development with git worktrees, this skill automates creating separate directories for different branches, ensuring a clean environment. It manages directory selection, enforces safety checks, and runs project-specific setup and baseline tests for concurrent branch work.

Git worktree setup handles project dependencies by detecting project files and automatically running necessary setup commands like npm, cargo, pip, poetry, or go. It then verifies the new worktree starts from a clean state by executing baseline tests.

Yes, you can use project-local directories like `.worktrees/` or `worktrees/` for git worktrees safely. The skill enforces safety verification by checking if these directories are ignored by Git before creation, preventing accidental commits.

The best way to manage concurrent git branches without interfering with the main codebase is using isolated git worktrees. This approach creates separate working directories for each branch, ensuring a clean and safe environment for developing new features.

Yes, git worktree creation respects custom user configuration defined in `CLAUDE.md`. The skill prioritizes project-local directories based on user preferences and manages directory selection accordingly during the automated worktree setup process.
