SKILL.md

Using Git Worktrees

Overview

Create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository. Systematic directory selection + safety verification.

Core principle: Isolated workspace before implementation.

Process

  1. Check existing directories (.worktrees/ or worktrees/)
  2. Verify directory is gitignored
  3. Create worktree with new branch
  4. Run project setup (auto-detect npm/cargo/pip/go)
  5. Verify clean test baseline
  6. Report ready

Safety

  • Always verify worktree directory is gitignored
  • Always run baseline tests
  • Report failures before proceeding

Agents Used

  • Process agents referenced in superpowers-workflow.js
