How does this help with parallel AI coding sessions?

It automates the setup of a second directory and editor window, allowing you to run a separate 'codex' or 'claude' session in that isolated environment.

Does Worktree Parallel work with editors other than VS Code?

Yes. While it defaults to 'code' for VS Code and Cursor, it can utilize any editor command you specify if the default is unavailable.

Where are the new worktrees stored by default?

To keep your primary project directory clean, it creates a sibling directory appended with '-wt' to store all your linked worktrees.

Can I use this skill to work on existing branches?

Absolutely. You can specify an existing branch name, and the skill will set up a worktree linked specifically to that branch.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Manages git worktrees to enable simultaneous feature development and parallel coding sessions within isolated workspaces.

Acerca de

Worktree Parallel streamlines the multitasking process for developers by automating the creation and management of git worktrees. Instead of stashing changes or switching branches in a single directory, this skill allows you to spin up a new, isolated workspace for a separate branch, automatically opens it in your preferred editor like VS Code or Cursor, and prepares a parallel Codex session. It is an essential tool for high-velocity development environments where working on multiple features or urgent bug fixes simultaneously is common.
