SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, git, lsof, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to orchestrate parallel development by creating and managing multiple Git worktrees, each with its own Claude Code agent, shared registry, and isolated environment. It reduces context-switching and merge conflicts by allowing concurrent branches.

Core Features & Use Cases

Global worktree registry: Track all worktrees across projects in a single JSON registry.
Port allocation & cleanup: Reserve and release ports for agents safely.
Agent orchestration: Launch Claude Code agents in dedicated worktrees with customizable prompts.
Lifecycle-friendly tooling: Scripted status, cleanup, and optional branch management for clean handoffs.

Quick Start

Use the worktree-manager to spin up a new worktree for feature/auth, then inspect status with the global registry.
