SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Directory priority and automatic selection to minimize manual steps.
  • Safety verification to ensure worktrees are ignored by git and not committed accidentally.
  • Auto-setup of project environments across common stacks (Node, Python, Rust, Go).
  • Flexible location preferences: project-local or global worktrees, with CLAUDE.md-driven direction when present.

Quick Start

Create a new isolated worktree for the current repository and run initial setup in the new worktree.

How do I set up an isolated Git worktree for feature work?▼

Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing you to work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching or disrupting your main workspace.

How do I create isolated workspaces for multiple Git branches without switching?▼

Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing you to work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching or disrupting your main workspace.

Can I automatically configure project environments when creating a Git worktree?▼

The Skill performs safety verification to ensure worktrees are properly ignored by Git and will not be committed accidentally, preventing repository contamination during feature work.

Does this worktree setup handle project environments like Node and Python?▼

You can choose between project-local or global worktree locations, with the Skill reading CLAUDE.md preferences to automatically direct the worktree placement when present.

How do I ensure my Git worktree is ignored and not accidentally committed?▼

The Skill implements directory priority and automatic selection to minimize manual steps, further streamlining the creation of isolated workspaces for safe feature development.

Can I use CLAUDE.md to configure global worktree locations?▼

You can use CLAUDE.md to specify flexible location preferences for project-local or global worktrees, with the setup automatically applying this direction when the file is present.
