SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing multiple feature workstreams in a single repo can pollute the main checkout and complicate setup. This Skill creates isolated git worktrees under .worktrees/ with automatic project initialization and baseline verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create isolated worktrees for new features without affecting the main workspace.
  • Automatically set up the new worktree (dependencies, environment) and verify baseline tests.
  • Ensure .worktrees/ is ignored and kept separate from main development.

Quick Start

Invoke the worktree skill with a feature branch name to spin up an isolated worktree.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an isolated git worktree for a new feature branch?

To create an isolated git worktree, this Skill automates the setup by generating a dedicated directory under .worktrees/ for your feature branch, ensuring the main checkout remains unaffected by separate workstreams.

What is the best way to manage multiple feature branches without polluting the main workspace?

Managing multiple feature branches is best handled by creating isolated git worktrees in a .worktrees/ area, which keeps separate workstreams distinct and prevents dependency conflicts in the main checkout.

Does setting up a new git worktree automatically install dependencies and verify the environment?

Yes, setting up a new git worktree with this Skill automatically executes environment checks, installs project dependencies, and performs baseline test verification to ensure a clean development context.

Can I use this worktree automation for my existing feature development workflow?

You can use this worktree automation for feature development workflows by invoking it with a feature branch name, which triggers worktree creation, environment validation, and baseline test checks.

How are isolated worktrees kept separate from main development?

Isolated worktrees are kept separate from main development by creating them under a dedicated .worktrees/ directory, which is automatically ignored to prevent interference with the primary workspace.
