SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill manages git worktrees to enable parallel development. It creates isolated working directories for tickets/branches, lists active worktrees, and cleans up after merging.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create a worktree for a given branch or new branch from origin/main
List worktrees to see paths, commits, and branches
Clean up a specific worktree or all merged worktrees
Use cases: starting work on a ticket, keeping the main repo clean while multiple tickets are in flight

Quick Start

From your main repository, run /worktree create <branch-name> to create a new worktree for that branch. List with /worktree list, and clean with /worktree clean <worktree-path-or-branch> when done.
