Git worktrees enable parallel development by allowing multiple branches to be checked out in separate directories, but without standardized AI metadata and templates teams can lose track of purpose, scope, and ownership. This Skill provides a structured guide for managing Git worktrees and their AI context, including templates, mode semantics, naming conventions, and best practices to improve discoverability, consistency, and safety.
Create a new feature worktree with a descriptive description by running /working-tree:new feature/<name> --mode feature --description 'Describe the feature'

Standardize git worktree management by defining mode semantics for feature, bugfix, experiment, and review branches. These modes influence AI behavior and enforce consistent naming conventions, ensuring parallel development workflows remain organized and predictable across the repository.
Structure parallel development with git worktrees by using provided templates and reference materials to establish ownership and scope. Applying standardized metadata workflows streamlines feature work and experiments, preventing teams from losing track of branch purpose across separate directories.
Git worktree management requires a git environment and applies to teams using multiple checked-out branches for parallel development. It is suited for repositories needing structured AI context and standardized metadata workflows to maintain consistency across feature, bugfix, and review directories.
Metadata templates for git worktrees are needed to prevent teams from losing track of branch purpose, scope, and ownership. Without standardized AI context files, discoverability and safety suffer when multiple branches are checked out simultaneously in separate directories.
Avoid using git worktrees for parallel development if your repository lacks standardized AI metadata practices. Without consistent naming conventions and context files, managing multiple working directories can lead to disorganized histories and lost AI awareness across complex workflows.
