Does this skill modify my .gitignore file?

Yes, it proactively checks if the '.worktrees/' directory is ignored and adds it if missing to prevent development environments from being accidentally committed to the repository.

Which programming languages does this skill support?

The skill includes auto-detection and setup logic for Node.js (npm), Python (pip, poetry, pixi), Rust (cargo), and Go projects.

How does the skill establish a baseline?

After setting up the worktree and dependencies, it automatically attempts to run the project's test suite (e.g., npm test, pytest, cargo test) to ensure the code is functional before you begin implementation.

What is the benefit of using Git worktrees over standard branching?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories, preventing the need to stash or commit unfinished work when switching tasks.

開発者ツール

Automates the creation of isolated Git worktrees with automatic dependency setup and baseline test verification.

概要

The dev-worktree skill streamlines the process of setting up isolated development environments using Git worktrees. It eliminates the friction of switching branches by creating a dedicated directory for new features, ensuring the main workspace remains clean. The skill handles critical safety checks like verifying .gitignore settings, auto-detecting project types (Node.js, Python, Rust, Go) to install necessary dependencies, and running initial test suites to establish a verified baseline before any code changes are made.
