Why do changes 'bleed' back to the main branch in Claude Code?

Claude Code resets the working directory between individual Bash tool calls. Without chaining commands or using absolute paths, a git operation may execute in the project's original root directory rather than the intended worktree.

Can I use this with the 'implement' skill?

Yes, it includes specific integration patterns for the 'implement' skill, adding setup phases and specialized subagent prompt blocks to maintain isolation throughout the development lifecycle.

Should I use relative or absolute paths with this skill?

Always use absolute paths. This skill mandates absolute path usage to eliminate ambiguity when switching between the main repository and specific worktree locations.

How does this skill ensure subagents stay in the right directory?

It provides mandatory prompt templates that include verification commands and expected outputs, forcing the subagent to stop and report immediately if it detects a directory or branch mismatch.

Herramientas para Desarrolladores

Enforces strict directory and branch isolation when using git worktrees to prevent accidental changes to the main repository.

Acerca de

This skill provides a robust protocol for managing git worktrees within Claude Code, addressing common issues like working directory resets and subagent context loss. It ensures that features are developed in isolated workspaces by mandating command chaining, absolute path usage, and rigorous pre-operation verification. By following these implementation patterns, developers can confidently delegate tasks to subagents without risking 'bleeding' changes back into the main branch or original repository state.
