What problem does it solve?

Git worktree management is error-prone and manual. This Skill orchestrates worktree creation and deletion from a central script using the repository's shared config to ensure consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create a worktree from the repository root with an optional path and branch, or use an interactive mode to specify details.
Remove a worktree by path or via an interactive prompt, ensuring clean detachment from the worktree.
Leverage the .cursor/worktrees.json as the single source of truth to avoid manual setup.

Quick Start

From the repository root, run the worktree:create command with a path and branch to create a new worktree, or run worktree:remove to delete an existing one.
