SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents conflicts and workspace clutter when working on multiple features or branches simultaneously. It ensures a clean, isolated environment for new development, reducing setup time and potential errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

Smart Directory Selection: Automatically finds or prompts for the best location for new worktrees, adhering to project conventions.
Safety Verification: Integrates with .gitignore to prevent accidental commits of worktree contents, maintaining repository cleanliness.
Automated Setup: Installs dependencies (npm, cargo, pip, poetry, go mod) and runs baseline tests for a ready-to-use environment.
Use Case: Before starting a new feature or implementing a complex plan, use this skill to create a dedicated, isolated Git worktree. This ensures your main branch remains clean and your new development doesn't interfere with other ongoing tasks.
