Does it work with my specific programming language?

Yes, it features auto-detection for Node.js (package.json), Rust (Cargo.toml), Python (requirements.txt/pyproject.toml), and Go (go.mod) to handle dependency installation automatically.

Why should I use Git worktrees instead of switching branches?

Git worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out simultaneously in different directories. This means you don't have to stash your current changes or rebuild your environment every time you need to jump to another task.

What happens if the project's tests fail in the new worktree?

The skill will identify the failures, report them to you immediately, and ask for explicit permission to proceed or investigate, ensuring you never build on top of a broken baseline.

How does this skill handle security and repository pollution?

The skill performs a safety verification using 'git check-ignore'. If your worktree directory isn't ignored, it automatically adds it to your .gitignore and commits the change to prevent worktree contents from being tracked.

개발자 도구

Automates the creation and setup of isolated Git worktrees for safe, parallel feature development without workspace pollution.

This skill streamlines the process of managing multiple development streams by setting up isolated Git worktrees. It intelligently selects workspace locations based on project conventions, automatically verifies and updates .gitignore settings to prevent repository pollution, and handles the heavy lifting of environment setup. By auto-detecting project types like Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go, it installs necessary dependencies and runs a baseline test suite to ensure your new feature work starts from a known stable state, eliminating 'it works on my machine' inconsistencies.
