SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill creates isolated git worktree environments to isolate feature work from the main workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Directory selection and creation: automatically chooses an appropriate worktree path (.worktrees or worktrees) and creates a new worktree for a focused feature branch.
  • Safety verification: validates that the chosen directories are ignored by gitignore rules and prompts for user direction when ambiguity exists.
  • Workflow isolation: supports starting feature work, experiments, or implementation plans without impacting the primary repository.

Quick Start

Use the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace for a new feature branch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an isolated git worktree for a feature branch?

To set up an isolated git worktree, the skill automatically selects an appropriate path like .worktrees, validates gitignore compliance for safety, and creates a new worktree for your focused feature branch.

What is the best way to isolate feature work from my main git workspace?

The best way to isolate feature work is creating a dedicated git worktree, which allows you to run experiments and implementation plans independently without impacting your primary repository directory.

When should I use git worktrees for implementation planning?

You should use git worktrees when starting feature work, running experiments, or creating implementation plans that require independent workspaces and safety verification from the main repository.

Does creating a git worktree automatically verify directory safety and gitignore compliance?

Yes, creating a git worktree enforces directory priority checks and validates that chosen directories are ignored by gitignore rules, prompting for user direction when ambiguity exists to ensure safety.

Why does my git worktree creation prompt for user direction during directory selection?

Git worktree creation prompts for user direction when ambiguity exists in directory priority checks, ensuring the chosen path is safely ignored by gitignore rules before proceeding with setup.
