What problem does it solve? Working on multiple branches simultaneously often requires stashing changes or cloning the repository again, which disrupts your current workspace. This Skill sets up isolated git worktrees so feature work proceeds without touching your main checkout, while preventing common mistakes like committing worktree contents or starting from a broken baseline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Smart Directory Selection: Follows a priority order (existing .worktrees/ or worktrees/ directory, then CLAUDE.md preference, then asks the user) to pick a consistent worktree location. - Safety Verification: Checks with git check-ignore that project-local worktree directories are gitignored before creation, and fixes the .gitignore if not. - Automated Setup and Baseline Validation: Auto-detects the project type (Node.js, Rust, Python, Go), installs dependencies, and runs the test suite to confirm a clean baseline before implementation begins. - Use Case: Before executing an implementation plan for a new auth feature, use this Skill to create .worktrees/auth on a new branch, run npm install, and verify all 47 existing tests pass so new bugs are distinguishable from pre-existing failures. ## Quick Start Set up an isolated git worktree for my new feature branch and verify the project tests pass before I start implementing.
