SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Isolates feature work from the current workspace by establishing an isolated environment using native tools when available or falling back to git worktrees.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Native worktree creation (preferred) to protect the current branch and workspace
  • Detection of existing isolation to avoid nested worktrees
  • Consent prompts when user preferences are not specified or required
  • Stepwise setup including project readiness checks before switching

Quick Start

Ask for consent to set up an isolated worktree, then create the worktree using native tools or git fallback, and switch into the new workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an isolated workspace for feature development without affecting my current branch?▼

You can create an isolated workspace by using native git worktree tooling to establish a separate directory, which safeguards your current branch and prevents accidental commits during feature development.

What is a git worktree and when should I use one for multi-platform environments?▼

A git worktree establishes an isolated workspace for feature development. Use it when starting work in multi-platform environments or when you need to safeguard current branches from concurrent modifications.

How do I set up a git worktree if my project has submodules or is in a detached HEAD state?▼

To set up a worktree with submodules or a detached HEAD, the process prioritizes native tooling and falls back to git worktrees after validating a ready baseline and prompting for consent before switching.

Does git worktree creation detect existing isolation to prevent nested worktrees?▼

Yes, the process detects existing isolation to avoid creating nested worktrees. It checks your current workspace state before applying native tooling or falling back to git worktree creation.

What is the best way to manage consent prompts when creating isolated git workspaces?▼

The best way is to prompt for consent when user preferences are not specified or required, ensuring a ready baseline is validated before switching into the new isolated workspace.
