Git worktrees introduce subtle workflows and three recurring bugs: subagent dangling commits, orphan branches with unique work, and time-sensitive garbage that can be lost to git gc. This skill provides detection commands, salvage decision flow, and trust-but-verify rules to keep worktrees safe and auditable when running multi-agent isolation.
Run the salvage flow on suspect branches using the commands outlined in refs/recipes.md to classify and safely delete or preserve worktrees.

You detect dangling commits in a git worktree by running specialized detection commands that classify worktree-related issues, including dead objects and orphan branches, without disturbing the main branch or disrupting ongoing development.
The best way to salvage orphan branches is to use a dedicated salvage decision flow that extracts plans or lands changes safely. This process includes explicit trust-but-verify checks to ensure no unique work is lost during the recovery operation.
Git gc removes time-sensitive garbage from worktrees because unreferenced objects become eligible for permanent deletion during routine cleanup. This skill addresses the issue by detecting vulnerable dead objects before automatic garbage collection permanently destroys them.
Verify subagent commits landed correctly by applying trust-but-verify checks with lineage tracking across sessions. This skill confirms subagent reports are successfully merged into main and safely prunes branches only when verification is complete.
Yes, you can use git worktree isolation for subagents without losing commits by applying detection commands and a salvage workflow. This ensures subagent commits land correctly in main while safely preserving or pruning branches with lineage tracking.
