This Skill enables parallel development by using git worktrees, letting multiple agents work on different features simultaneously in isolation without interfering with the main working directory.
From the main repository, create a new worktree for your feature: git worktree add .worktrees/<branch-name> -b <branch-name> Change into the new worktree: cd .worktrees/<branch-name> Start working in isolation and commit as you would in the main repo.

Git worktrees enable parallel development by creating isolated branch checkouts in separate directories. Use `git worktree add .worktrees/<branch-name> -b <branch-name>` to create a new worktree, then `cd .worktrees/<branch-name>` to work in isolation without affecting your main directory or stashing changes.
Worktrees let multiple agents work on different features concurrently in separate directories without context switching, stashing, or conflicts. Each worktree maintains its own checked-out branch and environment, enabling truly parallel development workflows.
Git worktrees support per-worktree `.env` handling and optional service startup scripts, keeping ports and services isolated per worktree. This prevents cross-worktree interference and lets each isolated environment run independently.
Yes. List active worktrees with `git worktree list` to see all branches and their locations. Remove completed worktrees with `git worktree remove <path>` once work is finished, cleaning up the isolated directory structure.
Worktrees require lsof and docker as dependencies for full integration. Port and service conflicts can occur if isolation isn't properly enforced across worktrees, so environment management and per-worktree configuration are essential for reliable parallel automation.
