What happens if the baseline tests fail in a new worktree?

If baseline tests fail, the skill will report the specific failures and pause to ask for user intervention, preventing you from building on top of an unstable codebase.

Why use Git worktrees instead of standard branching?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out at once in different directories. This eliminates the need to stash changes or commit half-finished work just to switch to another branch.

Which programming languages does the auto-setup support?

It currently detects and configures dependencies for Node.js (package.json), Rust (Cargo.toml), Python (requirements.txt/pyproject.toml), and Go (go.mod).

How does the skill handle .gitignore safety?

The skill performs a mandatory check to ensure the worktree directory is listed in .gitignore. If it isn't, the skill follows the 'fix broken things immediately' rule by adding and committing the exclusion before proceeding.

Can I customize where worktrees are created?

Yes. The skill checks for existing .worktrees folders, looks for preferences defined in CLAUDE.md, or provides an option to use a global configuration path.

開発者ツール

Automates the creation of isolated git worktrees with safety checks, dependency installation, and baseline test verification.

概要

The Git Worktree Workspace Manager skill streamlines the process of setting up isolated development environments within the same repository. It intelligently handles directory selection, automatically updates .gitignore to prevent workspace pollution, detects project environments (Node.js, Rust, Python, Go) to install dependencies, and executes baseline tests to ensure a stable starting point. This tool is essential for developers who need to work on multiple features simultaneously without the overhead of constant stashing or context switching.

主な機能

Baseline Verification: Executes project-specific tests to ensure a clean state before implementation begins.
Isolated Workflow Management: Enables concurrent feature development without interrupting the main workspace.
Automated Git Safety: Verifies and patches .gitignore files to prevent accidental tracking of worktree content.
Multi-Language Auto-Setup: Detects and runs package managers for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go environments.
3 GitHub stars
Smart Directory Selection: Automatically identifies preferred worktree locations or follows CLAUDE.md conventions.

ユースケース

Starting complex feature work that requires isolation from the current uncommitted workspace.
Setting up temporary environments for bug investigation without disturbing the main development branch.
Automating the boilerplate of dependency installation and testing when context-switching between branches.
