What happens if baseline tests fail in a new worktree?

The skill will report the failures and stop to ask for your permission before proceeding, ensuring you don't build on top of a broken state.

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

It allows Claude to operate in a clean, isolated environment without interfering with your current uncommitted changes, enabling safe parallel development.

How does it ensure worktrees aren't committed to the main repo?

The skill performs a safety verification check using git check-ignore and will automatically update and commit your .gitignore if the worktree directory isn't already excluded.

Does this skill handle project dependencies automatically?

Yes, it detects package.json, Cargo.toml, requirements.txt, and go.mod files to run the appropriate installation commands automatically.
