Does this skill protect against losing uncommitted code?

Yes. The skill includes a CRITICAL RULE to never remove worktrees with uncommitted changes unless an explicit --force flag is provided by the user.

Does it integrate with other repository tools?

Yes, it is designed to work alongside the repo-manager, branch-manager, and pr-manager skills for a seamless end-to-end development workflow.

How does the skill handle merged branches?

The cleanup-worktrees operation can automatically identify and remove worktrees associated with branches that have already been merged into the main branch.

Where are the new worktrees located?

For safety and to avoid Git nesting issues, worktrees are always created as sibling directories to your main repository.

What is the primary benefit of using the Worktree Manager?

It allows you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories, enabling you to run separate Claude Code sessions for each task without switching contexts.

開発者ツール

Simplifies Git worktree management to enable parallel development workflows within Claude Code.

概要

The Worktree Manager skill provides a robust framework for handling Git worktrees, allowing developers to work on multiple branches simultaneously without the overhead of stashing or switching contexts. By automating the creation of isolated sibling directories and maintaining a structured metadata log, this skill facilitates parallel Claude Code instances for complex multi-tasking. It includes rigorous safety checks to prevent data loss, ensuring that uncommitted changes are never accidentally deleted while keeping the local environment clean through automated cleanup of merged or stale branches.

主な機能

Safe creation of sibling worktree directories to prevent repository nesting
Deterministic naming conventions for organized branch-to-directory mapping
One-command cleanup for merged branches and stale development environments
Automated metadata tracking via worktrees.json for persistent state management
Pre-deletion safety checks for uncommitted changes and active sessions
2 GitHub stars

ユースケース

Developing a new feature while simultaneously applying a hotfix on a different branch
Running multiple Claude Code instances in parallel for independent tasks
Automating the removal of local worktrees after pull requests are merged
