To create an isolated Git workspace, it uses `git worktree add` to establish a dedicated directory for parallel feature work, preventing pollution of your main workspace. It automatically detects project types like Node or Rust to run setup commands.

The safest way to set up Git worktrees is verifying the target directory is ignored by Git before creation. This Skill enforces directory discovery within `.worktrees` or standard folders and validates ignore rules to prevent accidental commits.

Git worktree directory selection prioritizes existing `.worktrees` or `worktrees` folders, then checks `CLAUDE.md` preferences. If preferences are missing, it falls back to a global path or prompts the user to specify a valid location for the isolated workspace.

Yes, you can automatically run project setup commands after creating a Git worktree. This Skill detects your project type—such as Node, Rust, Python, or Go—and executes the appropriate environment setup commands immediately after adding the worktree.

Yes, this Git worktree setup method supports both local project directories and global locations. It applies clear priority rules to find existing `.worktrees` directories first, ensuring flexible workflows for parallel feature development across different environments.
