Why does the skill perform a baseline test run?

Running tests immediately after setup ensures the worktree starts in a healthy state. This helps distinguish between pre-existing issues in the codebase and new bugs introduced during the current task.

Which programming languages does the auto-setup support?

It currently auto-detects and runs setup commands for Node.js (npm), Rust (cargo), Python (pip/poetry), and Go (go mod).

What is the main benefit of using Git worktrees with Claude?

It allows Claude to work on new features or bug fixes in a completely separate directory, preventing interference with your current active workspace and making it easy to handle multiple branches simultaneously.

How does the skill ensure worktree files aren't committed to the main repository?

The skill automatically runs 'git check-ignore' on project-local directories. If the directory isn't ignored, it will add it to your .gitignore and commit the change before creating the worktree.

Manages isolated Git worktrees with intelligent directory selection and safety verification to streamline parallel feature development.

Acerca de

This skill enables Claude to efficiently manage multiple development tasks simultaneously by creating isolated Git worktrees. It eliminates the friction of switching branches in a single directory by setting up dedicated workspaces with automated directory selection, security checks to prevent accidental commits, and project-specific environment setup. By verifying a clean test baseline before starting work, it ensures developers can focus on new features within a reliable, independent environment that shares the same underlying repository.
