Worktree Setup Skill

Creates git worktrees with all necessary setup for running the dev server. Handles the tedious setup steps so you can start working immediately.

Quick Start

bash
# Create a worktree for a new branch
node .claude/skills/worktree/cli.mjs create feature/my-feature

# Create a worktree for an existing branch
node .claude/skills/worktree/cli.mjs create existing-branch

# List all worktrees
node .claude/skills/worktree/cli.mjs list

# Remove a worktree
node .claude/skills/worktree/cli.mjs remove feature/my-feature

What It Does

When you create a worktree, the skill:

  1. Creates the git worktree at ../model-share-<branch-name> (slashes in branch names are replaced with dashes)
  2. Initializes git submodules (git submodule update --init --recursive) - required for event-engine-common
  3. Copies .env from the main worktree to the new worktree
  4. Runs pnpm install to set up dependencies (leverages pnpm's content-addressable store for fast installs)

CLI Commands

Command Description
create <branch> Create a new worktree for the specified branch
list List all worktrees
remove <branch> Remove a worktree (deletes directory and prunes git worktree)

Examples

bash
# Create worktree for a new feature
node .claude/skills/worktree/cli.mjs create feature/user-auth
# Creates: ../model-share-feature-user-auth

# Create worktree for a bugfix
node .claude/skills/worktree/cli.mjs create fix/login-issue
# Creates: ../model-share-fix-login-issue

# Remove when done
node .claude/skills/worktree/cli.mjs remove fix/login-issue

Merging a Worktree to Main

When the user asks to "merge the worktree" or "merge to main", follow this workflow:

  1. Commit changes in the worktree:

    bash
    cd /path/to/worktree
    git add <files>
    git commit -m "feat/fix: description"
    
  2. Update and merge to main:

    bash
    cd /path/to/main-worktree
    git fetch origin && git checkout main && git pull origin main
    git merge <branch-name> --no-edit
    git push origin main
    
  3. Clean up the worktree and branch:

    bash
    # Remove the worktree directory (use --force if needed)
    rm -rf /path/to/worktree
    
    # Delete the local branch
    git branch -d <branch-name>
    
    # Optionally delete remote branch
    git push origin --delete <branch-name>
    

Example

bash
# 1. Commit in worktree
cd ../model-share-fix-my-bug
git add src/file.ts
git commit -m "fix: resolve the bug"

# 2. Merge to main
cd ../model-share
git fetch origin && git checkout main && git pull origin main
git merge fix/my-bug --no-edit
git push origin main

# 3. Clean up
rm -rf ../model-share-fix-my-bug
git branch -d fix/my-bug

Notes

  • Branch names with slashes are converted to dashes in the directory name
  • The .env file is copied (not symlinked) so you can customize environment per worktree if needed
  • Uses pnpm's content-addressable store, so subsequent worktree installs are fast
  • After creation, use /dev-server skill to start the dev server in the new worktree
