SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Isolate workspaces for feature development by ensuring an isolated workspace using native tools or git worktrees, preventing interference with the current branch and workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect existing isolation and skip unnecessary worktree creation.
  • Prefer native workspace isolation tools when available; fall back to git worktrees when needed.
  • Handle consent and safety checks before creating a new worktree.
  • Provide end-to-end steps for setup, verification, and baseline readiness in a single workflow example.

Quick Start

Set up an isolated workspace for your feature work using native tools or git worktrees before starting implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I isolate a git workspace for feature development without interfering with my current branch?

You can isolate a git workspace by creating a separate worktree for feature development. This prevents interference with your current branch by providing a distinct directory for your workflow.

What's the best way to set up an isolated git worktree for a new feature?

The best way to set up an isolated git worktree is to use native workspace isolation tools first, falling back to git worktrees only if needed. This ensures a clean baseline and safe project setup.

How does git worktree isolation work when native workspace tools are already present?

Git worktree isolation detects existing isolation and skips unnecessary worktree creation when native workspace tools are already present. It enforces consent and performs safety checks before proceeding.

Do I need consent to create a git worktree in an existing project?

Yes, you need consent to create a git worktree in an existing project. The workspace setup enforces consent and performs safety checks before creating a new worktree to validate a clean baseline.

Why does my git workflow interfere with my current branch during feature development?

Your git workflow interferes with the current branch because it lacks an isolated workspace. Setting up a git worktree provides native tool isolation to prevent this conflict during feature development.

Can I validate a clean baseline before starting feature work in a git worktree?

Yes, you can validate a clean baseline before starting feature work in a git worktree. The workspace setup performs verification and baseline readiness checks to ensure your isolated environment is clean.
